Hillary Clinton Said Children of Illegal Immigrants Should Be Sent Back in 2014 CNN Interview

Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton gave a stern and straightforward response during a 2014 CNN interview about how she thought the country’s immigration laws should be executed, particularly when it came to children of undocumented immigrants, according to Mediaite.

In the exchange with CNN host and reporter Christiane Amanpour, Clinton was not speaking specifically about “dreamers,” children who were brought to the United States by their parents and until recently have been allowed to remain and work in the country, but children who were coming along borders on their own.

“We have to send a clear message, just because your child gets across the border, that doesn’t mean the child gets to stay,” the former secretary of state said. “So, we don’t want to send a message that is contrary to our laws or will encourage more children to make that dangerous journey.”

Amanpour then asked: “So, you’re saying they should be sent back now?

“Well, they should be sent back as soon as it can be determined who responsible adults in their families are, because there are concerns whether all of them should be sent back,” Clinton responded. “But I think all of them who can be should be reunited with their families.”(continued)

goes to show how stilted to the left this country has gone in just three years. At this rate what will America look like in ten years? Will black lives matter and antifa run the country?

So far, Trump is the only one in 45 years or so who actually campaigned on what he really intended to do.....
