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.

I hope you’re wrong.
Well, I give it about six and a half months.
It will become obvious, or things will have actually changed.
The way things are now, we’re hurtin’.
Obama has given everyone who is in this nation legally freebies. Everyone who we would call illegal has so called protected status/legal status under Der Fuhrer Her Obama. He just recently gave TPS to those from Nepal. They along with every foreign student in America qualify for Obamacare plus much more. None want to make over X $ a year or they lose a free roof over head, free medical care, EBT, phones, etc.
Hillary wants to “Govern” the Citizens and Represent the Non-citizens....
People in office are supposed to Represent the Citizens and “Govern” the Non-Citizens.
Almost every damned politician misses this concept!
Running to the LEFT of Jeb Bush on Amnesty.
Who knew Herself, Madame Benghazi, the Cold & Joyless, would assume this position? Has Herself abandoned the Americans of African descent altogether? Because they apparently do not matter any longer in computations for national elections.
After all, where are the Americans of African descent going to go?
Hillary was expecting a coronation in 2008. Instead she got crushed by a threat from her Left.
She’s taking steps to prevent a repeat. She’ll lock down the various pro-immigration groups with this, use their support and members to win primaries, then with a wink and nod (and their blessing) tack to the right during the general election with the MSM flying top cover.
The question is, how many of the GOP candidates will try and out do her with their own amnesty plan for the hispanic vote?
GOP cant will a handout bidding war with Dems.
Dems can always promise to take and handout more than GOP can, for votes.
Hillary is offering FULL US citizenship.
Correction “...cant win a...”
As for voting, anyone who snuck across our border like a thief in the night, (or purposely overstayed a visa,) is certainly not going to be bothered by a little thing like, "You have to be a citizen to vote." They're already voting, probably several times each.
I just can't believe this is happening. It's hard not to be in total despair. Politician after politician, on both sides, bragging about how much they're going to do for lawbreaking invaders. Trying to outdo each other in giving to them. Nothing is too good for them, it seems. Meanwhile, this is being forced on Americans and nobody gives a d*** how we feel about it. Why are we letting this happen?
Once again Hillary demonstrates that she is not looking out for our country.
