Hillary Clinton: Let Hondurans, Guatemalans, El Salvadorans Apply for Asylum from Home
Breitbart ^ | 27 Jul 2014 | Tony Lee

Posted on 07/27/2014 5:03:45 PM PDT by mandaladon

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said she wanted more Central American citizens to apply for asylum to live in the United States from their home countries.

The Obama administration is reportedly considering setting up a satellite facility in Honduras to allow people to apply for asylum without coming to the United States, but Clinton said Guatemalans and El Salvadorans should have asylum facilities in their nations as well.

In an interview with Jorge Ramos on Fusion, Clinton said that she wanted facilities "over there" to "screen kids... before they get in the hands of coyotes, or they get on the beast, or they are raped."

To qualify for asylum, people must "demonstrate fear of persecution based on race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group," and Obama indicated in a meeting Friday with the presidents of Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras that those fleeing poverty and "bad neighborhoods" would not be given asylum.

Clinton, who had previously said that illegal immigrant juveniles should be sent back, told Ramos that those who do not have a "family connection" to the United States should still be returned.

"Whoever was in the category of where they don’t have legitimate claim for asylum, where they don’t have some kind of family connection, those children should be returned to their families, and the families should be told that they should not be sending these young children on their own to face the dangers that exist on that travel," she said.

Hellary and Jeb may seem to be in a bitter pecker-measuring contest now on deporting illegals, but by the 2nd week in November they’ll all go back to calling anyone who urges border security and deportation as racists.
Established politicians of both parties: opportunistic liars.

Cruz, Palin, Gowdy, Sessions, to name a few—we’ve got a number of good choices.

Why bleach blondes are so dangerous .... the bleach leaks into their cranial cavity causing them to say and do stupid things.

Perhaps they’ll put together a healthcare.gov-style website to make the process easier ...

(Guaranteed though that this one works like a charm.)

Why doesn’t the Hero of Benghazi just erase the borders and let everyone fly, walk, bus, boat, or train in. Isn’t that where we’re headed?

Rand Paul's immigration speech
...The Republican Party must embrace more legal immigration.

Unfortunately, like many of the major debates in Washington, immigration has become a stalemate-where both sides are imprisoned by their own rhetoric or attachment to sacred cows that prevent the possibility of a balanced solution.

Immigration Reform will not occur until Conservative Republicans, like myself, become part of the solution. I am here today to begin that conversation.

Let's start that conversation by acknowledging we aren't going to deport 12 million illegal immigrants.

If you wish to work, if you wish to live and work in America, then we will find a place for you...

This is where prudence, compassion and thrift all point us toward the same goal: bringing these workers out of the shadows and into being taxpaying members of society.

Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers.12 million more people assimilating into society. 12 million more people being productive contributors.

Rand Paul calls on conservatives to embrace immigration reform
Latinos, should be a natural constituency for the party, Paul argued, but "Republicans have pushed them away with harsh rhetoric over immigration." ...he would create a bipartisan panel to determine how many visas should be granted for workers already in the United States and those who might follow... [and the buried lead] "Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers...

The cow has spoken, just like the rest but she thinks that if she can talk like she knows something people will vote for her.

If I was running Honduras, I would fill out all the forms for the prisoners. They could just send all their criminals here at our expense.

Really brilliant idea Hillary.

don’t forget the mental hospitals. Carter was the champ, but I’m sure the Hero of Benghazi can top him.
