Several protesters started shouting during Clinton’s speech, but she did not acknowledge them.

“I sure wish we could get your governor and others to extend Medicaid so more people in Oklahoma can have the health care they need.”
“Declare a moratorium on immigrant detention until immigration reform passes”.
The former secretary of state formally received the endorsement of Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill., met with an immigrant family, reiterated her immigration stance and was not disturbed by activists protesting her policies.
Clinton reiterated her support of President Barack Obama’s immigration executive actions, which created the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and Deferred Action for Parental Accountability (DAPA) programs, which grants eligible undocumented immigrants the opportunity to receive temporary, but renewable, permits to stay in the country. “Hillary is with the Latina community and I am with her”, Gutiérrez wrote. “Even in this campaign, she refuses to give New Americans full access to Obamacare”, said O’Malley.
She also took aim at some of her Republican rivals’ anti-immigration rhetoric.
“They’re all moving toward the extreme and away from the rest of America”, Clinton said.
Clinton’s opponents, from within and outside her political party, criticized her varied immigration stance.
Meanwhile, O’Malley’s longshot campaign has sought to be the most aggressive on this issue, and accused Clinton of not laying out a comprehensive plan Monday. Others tried to shout over her that her increasingly open stance on immigration is dishonest.
FACT, which is led by former U.S. Attorney Matthew Whitaker, says that the exchange shows that Clinton abused her position to advance the business interests of those in her family’s inner circle, Time reports.
In May Clinton held a roundtable discussion in Las Vegas with the Dreamers, a movement of young activists who were brought to the USA as children. “But at the same time, none of us can close our eyes to the fact that we do face enemies who use Islam to justify slaughtering innocent people”.
“She (Clinton) did a good addressing everything including women’s rights and LGBT rights”. She has since said it was a “poor choice of words” and pledged not to use the term.
A conservative watchdog group has called for another federal investigation into Hillary Clinton’s communications during her time as secretary of state, accusing Clinton of giving special government access to an investor in a deep-sea mining company because of his connections to Clinton’s son-in-law. More than 60% of immigration detention beds in the United States are operated by for-profit companies.
“I don’t want anyone who could be a citizen to miss out on that opportunity”, Clinton said in NY at a conference on integrating immigrants into the United States. She now supports such proposals.

“It’s not only shameful, it’s unsafe”, she said last week in Iowa.
