Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said Tuesday she regretted her use of the term “illegal immigrants” when talking about immigration during an earlier campaign stop in New Hampshire.

Clinton has said she wants comprehensive immigration reform that would give a path to citizenship for the more than 11 million people living and working in the United States who have entered the country illegally.
“I’ve made a big commitment to rolling out plans to deal with both mental health and substance abuse”, said Clinton, who has made mental health a key issue in her campaign. Clinton didn’t rule out executive action but says she prefers to do gun control legislatively.
“Yes, I will”, Clinton started. “Yes, I will. That was a poor choice of words”. After she obliged, several unions came through with their endorsement even though her affirming stance in opposition came months after Mr. Sanders’. Of course, it doesn’t really matter to her that the term undocumented immigrant is a blatant slap in the face to the countless millions of legal immigrants who came to this country properly and became naturalized.
Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton is coming to Jacksonville for a fund-raising event next week.
“Any honest look at Hillary Clinton’s record shows she spoke out early and often against Wall Street’s excesses in the run-up to the financial crisis”, said campaign spokesman Brian Fallon.
A dozen states hold votes that day and award delegates on a proportional basis rather than awarding all to the victor, so Weaver said the campaign calculated that it is important to compete hard in all of them rather than skip states where Sanders may not perform as well as Clinton.
O’Malley refers to undocumented immigrants as “new Americans”.
“I have said number one we need to do a better job partnering with state and local governments to provide more support for mental health systems, for personnel, for facilities”.
The poll found that 85 percent of likely caucus participants think Clinton has a good chance of winning the general election, while only 54 percent said the same of Sanders.
Vargas noted in conversation on Facebook that Clinton used the phrase “illegal immigrants” while discussing immigration reform during a recent campaign stop, and called the term “offensive”.
In public remarks, Clinton casts herself as having offered a major rebuke of the industry in 2007, before the economic downturn that led to the Great Recession.

“If we’re just going to pick out a particular group of people based on their religion, based on their race, based on some other thing, that’s setting a pretty risky precedent, I believe”, Carson said, according to Mediaite.
