Hillary Clinton used to sound a lot like Trump on immigration

Video montage of past Hillary speeches where she sounds like Trump today on immigration.

If this were Boston in 1770, Hillary would be a lukewarm British loyalist.

If this were Germany in 1933, Hillary would be a Nazi

If this were Hungary in 1957, Hillary would be a loyal Communist.

She is a soulless, corrupt, political opportunist - that’s all.

"Today's Democratic Party also believes we must remain a nation of laws. We cannot tolerate illegal immigration and we must stop it. For years before Bill Clinton became President, Washington talked tough but failed to act. In 1992, our borders might as well not have existed. The border was under-patrolled, and what patrols there were, were under-equipped. Drugs flowed freely. Illegal immigration was rampant. Criminal immigrants, deported after committing crimes in America, returned the very next day to commit crimes again.

President Clinton is making our border a place where the law is respected and drugs and illegal immigrants are turned away. We have increased the Border Patrol by over 40 percent; in El Paso, our Border Patrol agents are so close together they can see each other. Last year alone, the Clinton Administration removed thousands of illegal workers from jobs across the country. Just since January of 1995, we have arrested more than 1,700 criminal aliens and prosecuted them on federal felony charges because they returned to America after having been deported."

Lying then, lying now.

I’m sure all of these cuts will appear regularly on ABCNNBCBS, be broadcast on NPR, be published in the NYT, LAT, WACOMPOST, ATLJOUNALCONSTIPATION, commented upon in Huf’n’Puf, Politico and Salon...< /sarc >

The key paragraph from your link to the ‘96 RAT platform:

Today’s Democratic Party also believes we must remain a nation of laws. We cannot tolerate illegal immigration and we must stop it. For years before Bill Clinton became President, Washington talked tough but failed to act. In 1992, our borders might as well not have existed.
