Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has promised to back a path to "full and equal citizenship" for illegal immigrants, and has accused Republicans of treating illegals as "second class."
"This is where I differ with everybody on the Republican side. Make no mistake, not a single Republican ... is clearly and consistently supporting a path to citizenship. Not one," Clinton said during a campaign stop in Nevada on Tuesday, according to The Associated Press. "When they talk about legal status, that is code for second-class status."
Clinton further said that she backs President Barack Obama's executive actions that allow some with an illegal status to temporarily stay and work in the U.S. The president has also sought to expand a program that protects people from deportation if they were brought to the U.S. illegally as children.
"I don't understand how anyone can look at these young people and think that we should break up more families or turn away young people with talent," she said about young people who've benefited from Obama's executive actions. "So I will fight for comprehensive immigration reform and a path to citizenship."
Republican leaders have generally opposed Obama's executive actions on immigration, and have emphasized the need for stronger border security first before any changes to the immigration system are implemented.

Soon the election ballots will all be in Spanish,.
I can see why Hillary wants them voting
Only and abject idiot or a democrat (but I repeat myself) would vote for the Hilderbeast
Doesn't everyone see what she and the Left are trying to do?
They want to equate illegals to black people.
This is 60's civil rights rhetoric.
So the narrative is: these are non-whites oppressed by Evil Whitey into "second class citizenship" and they must be granted "full, equal participation as Citizens of the United States".
In other words they want to portray immigration laws as racist, discriminatory and exclusionary, the big No-No's of the Counter Culture generation (people as old as um, me).
They are not our citizens and should not ever be, unless we want to be under the thumb of Mexico!
They want the border to be declared Racist, and therefore entry into the United States and instantaneous citizenship will be a Civil Right for non-Whites.
THAT IS WHAT THIS IS ABOUT.
The fact that she is offering unconditional Amnesty is predictable: once the Republicans jumped on the band wagon, the Democrats had to one-up them.
The Stupid Party thinks they can offer some sort of managed "pathway" and get a few Mexicans to vote for them. Why vote for Rat Lite when you can have the whole Enchilada?!
That was the easiest thing to see coming, and dimbulbs like Rubio and Bush don't get it.
But the rest of us should, and tell them this race to see who can commit Treason faster is over: No Sale, Traitors.
Hillary said if she cant get it through congress as POTUS she will issue even more executive amnesty orders, building on Obama’s work.
” I can see why Hillary wants them voting”
Sure....many will vote 3 or 4 times too.
I agree with your take on it.
Yes she is. I wish our folks would protect the majority of families in this nation, but so far it’s a wish that demands too much.
Donate to the Clinton Foundation and Hillary will make you a US citizen ,LOL
If that’s your premise, and I think it’s an interesting one, then we know why our guys won’t declare that they will enforce our 1986 immigration laws, and will let illegals stay.
Now there’s food for thought folks.
Just how Conservative are the people we want to support?
Looks to me like they’re in the wrong hip pockets.
On this one issue especially the State has refined its ability to lie to a high art form.
That is not their faults. Many of them were never taught how to count in old Medico.
The DNC will give them the names of those to vote for and they will just compare the characters between the list and the voting screen to pick the Dems, no reading required.
In return they will get a six pack of Corona beer.
Hillary replaces “amnesty” with “Full and Equal Citizenship”.
Why use one easily understood word that clearly and accurately describes something when you can discombobulate?
After all, she learned how not to say what she really means at the knee of Ol’ Bill - the Master Of Discombobulation himself.
You just watch. All her scandals will be nothing but faint memories in 2016. The press will have vetted them all, and Hillary will be pronounced INNOCENT.
Who knows, maybe they’ll start referring to her as a virgin too.
ARE YOU READY FOR AMNESTY 2016.
I’m thinking we’re in for a non-choice — It looks like the elite are going to push a amnesty proponent on both parties, just like they did with questionable NBC qualification candidates in 2008 to set up precedence weakening the NBC requirement clause.
I hope that won’t be the case, but it’s looking like it might well be.
What I don’t understand is why the illegals even want to be citizens.
I am a full blooded native American (2nd generation from four Jewish grandparents who migrated from Russia and eastern Europe).
These days, I’m seriously wondering whether it’s possible to give up my citizenship and live as an illegal. I could still get a driver’s license, my kid could still get in-state tuition, I wouldn’t have to pay taxes, and I could qualify for all kinds of government bennies.
I have always felt so proud and blessed to be a natural born citizen of the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave. But now? I’m a citizen of the land of the fleeced and the home of the slaves.
I don’t even celebrate the 4th of July anymore, except as a private day of mourning.
I agree with regard to the state, but people in our own party are doing it, and they’re playing themselves off as Conservatives.
This shuck and jive needs to be recognized for what it is.
” The DNC will give them the names of those to vote for and they will just compare the characters between the list and the voting screen to pick the Dems, no reading required.
In return they will get a six pack of Corona beer. “
$7 a throw. DNC getting off cheap here...
Most of the guys on ‘our side’ have proven they consider themselves very much part of the State.
That’s my take too.
I hate to say it regarding my two main hopefuls, but I’m done lying to myself.
