One of the key issues in the 2016 presidential campaign is certain to be how the candidates propose to deal with illegal immigration, from border security to the treatment of undocumented individuals already in the United States.
The question of immigration reform has particular salience to the large and growing Latino electorate, a group that leans heavily Democratic and makes up an important part of the coalition of voters that a Democratic candidate needs to assemble in a winning run for the White House.
Right now, that candidate seems likely to be Hillary Clinton, who officially announced her presidential run on Sunday afternoon.
Unless there is a massive and totally unexpected change in the general position of the Republican Party between now and November 2016, the one thing Clinton can be absolutely sure of is that she wont be losing Latino voters to a Republican on the issue of immigration reform.
However, being sure that voters wont support your opponent is only half the battle Clinton is going to need to inspire Latino voters to come to the polls in the first place. And right now, immigration activists say that she hasnt given them much to work with.
Cesar Vargas, co-director of the Dream Action Coalition, a group that pushes immigration reform friendly to the undocumented population was one of a pair of activists who memorably confronted Clinton in Iowa last September, in an effort to pin her down on immigration issues.
In an interview, Vargas said that at the time, Clinton appeared to be not very well versed on immigration policy.

I can guess her position.
"I'm for sensible immigration policies. No more questions please."
The MSM will recap with: "Today President-in-waiting Hillary Clinton laid out in detail her sensible plans to tackle the thorny immigration situation, putting to rest any speculation as to her ability to handle large issues with bipartisan support. She was widely praised for her plan by all experts."
..yeah, but will she wash feet?
if the last election is any indicator of how far this country has sunk- her immigration policy will not be an issue- all people will hear is that they are going to git free stuff, and everything else will fade out- they won’t hear anything else-
if this country doesnt overwhelmingly vote In a republican president, regardless of which one- I will have completely lost faith in Americas ability to do the right thing any longer- After 6 longs disastrous money grubbing, religious assaulting, law breaking, aggressive in your face thuggery by present admin and ilk- and 2 long years to come- IF this country doesnt vote republican then there is No hope because it will be clear this country has turned socialist minded gimmedat now mentality-
Experts thought there was no way [present _resident could not win a second term considering how little he had done, how bad things were, how high gas prices were, how partisan and petty he was- Yet America elected him again because they believed he was gonna give them lots of free stuff. If this country elects another 4 years of this crap by electing a democrat, or if a republican wins but just barely, then that will be a clear message that this country is lost to socialism and all the gimmedat now! people.
Wehhhhllll, you knohwwwwww, I find the question insensitive; lehhhtttt me just saaayyyyy... I am drawn to the mothers, and to the children — as I have always been throughout my whole carreeeeeeeer... you knohwwwww...
and if she gets elected- prapare for a massive ramp up of gay people lording over Christians as they assault every moral issue we stand for- Her victory will be a rallying cry to lesbians and homosexuals all over the country and this country WILL suffer massive moral loss. The current _resident has got the ball rolling- and the next democratic president WILL take it further than it’s ever gone because now they know they have complete protection by the msm to advance whatever immoral indecent, disgusting agenda they want
This next election is crucial to this country’s Christian Foundations and moral values
President Clinton and his thugs bought in thousands of immigrants from Central America for his 2nd election. Massive swearing in gatherings in stadiums and of course Democrat registrations. How many were sent back at taxpayer expense? Loads of them. The airlines finally requested guards for the criminals being sent back as they were difficult to handle when they were kicked out. ( post election)
Thanks, I didn’t know this
The Clintons: “ 4,000 felonies can’t be wrong ! “
We already know her position on Amnesty...she’s for it. She’s for open borders too, and welfare for every last one of them that wants to come here.
She is going to have to answer as to whether she would extend Obama’s executive actions on immigration.
Expect the worst from her and you won’t be wrong.
