"...it really depends on much money I raise and from whom"

One of the key issues in the 2016 presidential campaign is certain to be how the candidates propose to deal with illegal immigration, from border security to the treatment of undocumented individuals already in the United States.
The question of immigration reform has particular salience to the large and growing Latino electorate, a group that leans heavily Democratic and makes up an important part of the coalition of voters that a Democratic candidate needs to assemble in a winning run for the White House.
Right now, that candidate seems likely to be Hillary Clinton, who officially announced her presidential run on Sunday afternoon.
Unless there is a massive and totally unexpected change in the general position of the Republican Party between now and November 2016, the one thing Clinton can be absolutely sure of is that she won’t be losing Latino voters to a Republican on the issue of immigration reform.
However, being sure that voters won’t support your opponent is only half the battle – Clinton is going to need to inspire Latino voters to come to the polls in the first place. And right now, immigration activists say that she hasn’t given them much to work with.
Cesar Vargas, co-director of the Dream Action Coalition, a group that pushes immigration reform friendly to the undocumented population was one of a pair of activists who memorably confronted Clinton in Iowa last September, in an effort to pin her down on immigration issues.
In an interview, Vargas said that at the time, Clinton appeared to be “not very well versed on immigration policy.”

Don’t hold your breath on the media lining up to ask her either. She’s going to get a pass just like Obama.
Uh, I think we all know her position on immigration.
"...it really depends on much money I raise and from whom"
Hillary is counting on illegal immigrants to vote for her, so her position is patently obvious.
I will tell you:
She favors amnesty and open borders.
She received most of the Hispanic vote in the 2008 Dem primaries.
She will pander to every key ethnic group within the Dem voting coalition, even claim to be part Jewish or black if necessary-—even part lesbian if that helps. She knows no boundaries. None of the Clintons do.
It doesn’t matter what her stand is on anything...The frigging whack left butt kissing media will just be the wind beneath her wings for whatever turd sandwich she rolls out...
Bank on it, she ain't forthcoming about noth’n substantive until/unless she's cornered like a rat... and maybe NOT THEN, either.
She must have a dozen pairs of tap dancing shoes in that van of hers... because short of absolute compulsion, I don't see her saying one single thing she'll have to back up or remain consistent about ...like “O”-she will be pinned down on NOTHING.
The woman hasn’t given a straight answer or a coherent position in over 30 years. And the media won’t be pressing her for one any time soon.
Wow! They better figure out a way to ‘photoshop’ her in real life. She looks horrible.
NAFTA, GATT, most favorable trade status for china. Hitlery is just as commited to the offshoring/illegal alien/H1-B K street lobby as her husband was.
Do YOU want to guess??? YEAH right!!!
Is that photoshopped, Doogle? If not, she’s turned into one scary (looking) witch.
Viagra should use that photo in their ads! “We can help, even when faced with something like this ... “.
Hillary needs to be asked questions about her immigration/vacation places policy of certain Democrat leaders and business men to a island in Indonesia...
Too bad the server at Chipotle didn’t ask.
“Our immigration System is broken and we need congress to pass the Comprehensive Reform Bill (aka amnesty) so we can focus on removing the criminals and not tearing families apart”
There how was that....
Can you imagine the contributions the Clinton Foundation will receive when Hillary! becomes president! Bill and Chelsea will each have their own private jets. They will fly around the world, receiving donations from countries that will want a favor from Hillary!
