Hillary spoke with the lady who talked about her husband being deported (CLINTON GROUP) [View all]

after the debate ended. It was just a quick aside in the link that MrWendel posted here talking about the Univision Debate:

"...Hillary’s response to the Guatemalan immigrant’s question was the most beautiful moment of the night, and here is in its entirety:

First of all, please know how brave I think you are, coming here with your children to tell your story. This is an incredible act of courage that I'm not sure many people really understand. And I want you to know that in the work that I've done and the many families that I've met, I have heard similar stories like yours, where your husband is deported. Your children's father is gone.

You are doing your very best to support your children. But it is time to bring families together. And I don't think there's any doubt that we must do more to let stories like yours be heard more widely so that more Americans know what the human cost of these policies are.

And I will do everything I can to prevent other families from facing what you are facing. And I will do everything I can to pass laws that would bring families back together. And I hope that your children are all either citizens born in this country or eligible for the programs that President Obama has put into place, DACA and DAPA, because I will defend those and I will absolutely protect your children, yourself, and try to bring your family back together.

It should be noted that following the debate, Clinton had a longer, private conversation with the woman and her family..."

And that is one of the reasons I strongly support her. She is all about identifying problems and then finding solutions.
