2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: PA office,workers all lifelong Democrats. Voting for Bernie in primary, Trump in GE if it's Clinton. [View all]Fla Dem
(23,666 posts)102. Clinton's position on immigration. Not sure where you're getting your information.
America needs comprehensive immigration reform with a pathway to citizenship.
Hillary will:
Enact comprehensive immigration reform to create a pathway to citizenship, keep families together, and enable millions of workers to come out of the shadows.
End family detention and close private immigrant detention centers.
Defend President Obamas executive actions to provide deportation relief for DREAMers and parents of Americans and lawful residents, and extend those actions to additional persons with sympathetic cases if Congress refuses to act.
We have to finally and once and for all fix our immigration system this is a family issue, its an economic issue too, but it is at heart a family issue. If we claim we are for family then we have to pull together and resolve the outstanding issues around our broken immigration system. The American people support comprehensive immigration reform not just because its the right thing to doand it isbut because it will strengthen families, strengthen our economy, and strengthen our country. Thats why we cant wait any longer, we cant wait any longer for a path to full and equal citizenship.

HILLARY CLINTON, MAY 5, 2015

Supporting the DREAM Act. Hillary Clinton has called passage of DREAM Act long overdue. This legislation, which would allow immigrant children who have demonstrated good moral character, and are pursuing a college education or have enlisted in the military, the
opportunity to earn legal status in this country, was cosponsored by Clinton in 2003, 2005, and 2007.
Fighting for comprehensive immigration reform. Hillary Clinton has long been an advocate for comprehensive immigration reform. She was one of the two cosponsors of Senator Ted Kennedys 2004 bill, the S.O.L.V.E. Act, and during her time in the Senate she continued to cosponsor and vote for comprehensive immigration reform legislation. As a presidential candidate in 2008, Hillary called for a path to legalization to bring people out of the shadows, and she pledged that, if elected, she would introduce a plan for immigration reform in the first 100 days of her presidency. As Sec. Clinton recently told a tearful young undocumented immigrant, Im a huge supporter of immigration reform and a path to citizenship and will continue to advocate for that.

Trump is a sexist/racist creep and a clown. Not a thing to be proud about.
