Was he lying then or is Hillary lying now, because he’s saying the exact same things that Trump is saying today.

Politicians who don’t keep their promises should be thrown out of office & never be allowed to run for any office again. I like dreaming.

Sounds like a good Trump commercial. Bill would in effect, be endorsing Trump.

I don’t think this would help Trump. It would show that they are politicians, but at the same time Hillary and Bill may have said this a couple of times.

vette6387: "Was he lying then or is Hillary lying now..."

I know, if the picture is fuzzy, it's sometimes hard to tell if their lips are moving, but I studied that clip carefully, and am certain now that his lips were indeed moving.

Therefore, he was lying.
Next question?

"Bill Clinton says the same things regarding illegal immigration as Trump is doing today."

Better watch out. The mods frown on negative stories about Trump.

Bill Clinton

All Americans, not only in the States most heavily affected but in every place in this country, are rightly disturbed by the large numbers of illegal aliens entering our country. The jobs they hold might otherwise be held by citizens or legal immigrants. The public service they use impose burdens on our taxpayers.

That's why our administration has moved aggressively to secure our borders more by hiring a record number of new border guards, by deporting twice as many criminal aliens as ever before, by cracking down on illegal hiring, by barring welfare benefits to illegal aliens.

In the budget I will present to you, we will try to do more to speed the deportation of illegal aliens who are arrested for crimes, to better identify illegal aliens in the workplace as recommended by the commission headed by former Congresswoman Barbara Jordan.

We are a nation of immigrants. But we are also a nation of laws. It is wrong and ultimately self-defeating for a nation of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws we have seen in recent years, and we must do more to stop it.

Watch at 0:09 when Algore in the background is nodding his head in agreement when Bubba says, "...rightly disturbed by the large numbers of illegal aliens entering our country." One of the few correct things Algore did.

Bill said those things in 1995 because:
a) He had to, with an election coming. It was part of “triangulation,” taking some conservative proposals as his own
b) The cross-border flow was nowhere near what it was today, so there was no chance of building a big, new illegal Dem constituency in his terms of office.
c) He was being bribed by the Chinese to make dual-use technology available, but not yet by the Saudis
d) He was nowhere near as anti-US as Hillary. He just wanted to enjoy the perks of office (Yes, Monica, I’m talking about you).

He should absolutely be using this as commercial. Would need nothing other than ‘I’m Donald Trump, and I approve this message’ at the end. Perfect.

The video at the link now does not work - I watched it earlier and now it won’t play.
Anyone know where else this can viewed ?

This needs to go Yuge. I do think this would make a good Trump tweet.

It is a strange feeling to be agreeing with a Clinton.
