Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton today said that if elected to power a comprehensive immigration reform with a path to citizenship would be her top priority, but criminals and those having even remote links to terrorism would be deported immediately.
"Whoever is president gets to determine what the priorities are. My priorities are deport criminals, violent criminals as fast as we can. Deport anybody that we think even has a passable link to terrorism," Clinton told Fox News in an interview.
"But don't go rounding up hard-working mothers and fathers, taking them out of the factories or the hotels or the homes where they're working, making these disappear and leaving their children alone. That doesn't make any sense to me," she said responding to questions on immigration reform.
Clinton hoped that after this election Congress that voted in a bipartisan way in 2010 and 2013, to actually take action, will come back and say, "OK, let's do this together".
