Probable Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton broke with President Obama on a key policy issue Tuesday, claiming the unprecedented number of illegal children flooding into the United States must be deported and returned to their families in Central America.

It’s one thing to say it; it’s another thing to do it. Democrats are People of the Lie. BO said what people wanted to hear then did the opposite. Transparency, bipartisanship, shovel-ready, keep your health plan/doctor...
I think the libs should adopt the kids. That would be amnesty in spades. Everyone would feel so good...
Certainly answers the question.
She’s running.
This is no different than what McCain said in his ads during his last re-election to the senate, “Build the dang fence”.
Once elected, I wonder if she’ll be more of a “triangulator” like Hubby, or just a naked extreme ideological leftist who doesn’t care like Obama? I’m sure she’ll be leftist either way and would far prefer no Democrat in the WH.
Forked tongue syndrome.
Send ‘em back if their it can be determined who/where their parents are. It’s in no way a commitment and the ‘rats know very well it’s just politicking.
She lies like Barry. Don’t believe a word she says.
Especially “at this point”
It’s more likely she prefers to sell them into slavery to Indonesian sweat shops.
Sure, brilliant. Great political move and it will ‘guarantee” her the WH, blah, blah, blah.
She was also “unbeatable” in 2008”, how did that work out? Conservatives are truly amazing! They will take the smallest issue and a single comment by a politician and announce it to be the biggest event in recent political history and a SURE thing to change the game in a major way.
People on this site claim Clinton had a soft ball interview on FNC. Actually FNC handled it perfectly. Had the gone after Clinton, tried to blind side her or played the sleazy gotcha politics the libs are famous for there would have been hysteria in the lib media with all accusing FNC of misogyny, of ganging up on poor Hillary and it would have been in the news for days if not weeks as clips were replayed again and again.
The interview is over and the Left has no ammunition to use against the Right or FNC. One interview in which she didn’t commit gaffe hardly makes up for all in her past and recent interviews in which she did not do well.
I think this is a pretty calculated move that is designed to provide confusion on a number of fronts.
1) I think that she realizes that even though the Democrats will probably win on Amnesty in the near future (with more than willing help from the GOPe leadership), that won’t happen until after 2016 so the Hispanic vote isn’t who she’s going after as a ‘voter.’
She is going after that Democrat - the one who used to be called Reagan Democrat who feels strongly about sovereignty, etc. She has calculated that they outnumber those Reconquista Hispanics who will be influenced by an impotent endorsement of this “child amnesty.”
2) By co-opting this position before any RINO with balls enough to do so, or most any viable Conservative for that matter, she ‘owns’ it, and she will have that for the next two years as her bona fides on tough immigration. Frankly, there isn’t a GOP approved hopeful that will even touch that position. And, besides, nothing in history - nothing - says that once spotted, the Democrat leopard won’t change them when convenient and appropriate.
3) Benghazi, her book sales, all her baggage will take second tier to this position even if the media had enough integrity to question or investigate like real journalists.
It’s been obvious for a few months that Hillary’s political director has decided to run against Obama.
It is becoming obvious that they plan to run as the conservative alternative to Jeb Bush.
And you know what? If she runs a strong anti-illegal campaign and if the GOP candidate is a squish, she will win. George Corley Wallace, after being defeated for governor running as a liberal, famously declared “I will never be out-n****rd again”. Where the people will be in 2016, that’s where Team Clinton plans to be.
And unlike the Stupid Party, they may be able to pull it off.
What’s next: She endorses Joe Arpaio?
I’m torn between agreeing with her & also rolling my eyes - if a republican had said this first she probably would have been the first to say how heartless they were
This must be related to some kind of channeling from Eleanor Roosevelt...or maybe Teddy?
Misleading headline. Here is what she said:
“Well, they should be sent back as soon as it can be determined who responsible adults in their families are,” Clinton admitted. “There are concerns about whether all of them should be sent back, but I think all of them who can be should be reunited with their families.”
“She must have seen some polling results...”
Of course.
Just like in "Phantom Menace", Senator Palpatine orchestrated a war to consolidate his own power, the Regime has engineered this illegal immigrant children issue.
If she sticks with this, she will be the next president. Jeb can go find a job somewhere, because his love of illegals would sink his candidacy if he would run against her.
She's got some qualifications on who should be sent back -- it's far from a blanket statement.
Nonetheless, her position suggests she's reading the polls and following their winds.
The solution that I'd like to hear coming from a Republican source, however, would be to send them back to their country of origin upon arrival -- excepting only those in need of medical treatment. And, rather than spending money on holding areas in the USA, that money should be spent in the nations of origin -- with that nation responsible for returning them to their parents.
