Hillary Clinton Pledges To Support Immigration Reform On Her Presidential Campaign

The political debate over immigration continues to be the hot topic for every presidential candidate. This week Hillary Clinton pledge to support Latinos in an Univision op-ed; the Democratic presidential candidate promise to continue the fight for comprehensive immigration reform on next year’s election.

"As President, I will fight to fix our broken immigration system and pass comprehensive immigration reform. I will defend President Obama’s executive actions protecting DREAMers and the parents of citizen children, and will seek to go beyond them." Clinton added, "But above all, I will always stand with the Latino community—on immigration and job creation, education and environmental protection. Because when we stand together against those who would seek to divide us, and fight together against those who would seek to take us backward, and when we make our communities and our families strong, we make America strong."

The former first lady also took an aggressive stance against the GOP party.

"But I didn’t expect that this summer, the Republican primary would come to seem less like a competition for the highest office in the land and more like a race to see who can make the most hostile, outlandish, vitriolic claims about the immigrant community." Clinton said.

The issue resonates with many Hispanic Americans who support the legalization and citizenship path for undocumented DREAMers and who are deeply offended with some of the negative remarks against immigrants from Donald Trump.

Hillary Clinton to Latinos: 'I stand with you'

"I stand with Jorge Ramos, who was shouted over and removed from a press conference for trying to do his job as a journalist."

"I stand with Dolores Huerta, who has fought tirelessly for worker’s rights and inspires us to accept nothing less than justice for all."

"I stand with America Ferrera, who can make us laugh but also make us think, and who was among the first to speak out against this political season’s hateful rhetoric."

"I stand with Astrid and Juan, with Rafael and Blanca, and all the other DREAMers in Las Vegas and everywhere who want nothing more than to become full-fledged citizens of this country they have lived in and loved for their entire lives—and to help make America work again for all of us."
