Hillary " send children back"

Sanders took a swipe at Clinton and her record on immigration views, saying that when tens of thousands of children arrived on the border from Central America and Mexico last spring and summer, there were "so many voices" calling for sending the children back home like a package, "marked return to sender."

During the crisis, Clinton had said children who lacked a legitimate claim to asylum should be sent back to their countries of origin.

"The U.S. has always been a haven for the the oppressed. Is there any group more vulnerable than children?" Sanders said.

Her father was a successful small business owner, and her mom was a homemaker...

So I don't think she really understands immigration issues.

Where a lot of those children are fleeing from.
Likewise children, their families, their fathers too, are (still) fleeing Libya, Syria, and Iraq -- I don't believe she gives a shit. I don't believe that she even thinks about it.

Madeleine Albright - The deaths of 500,000 Iraqi children was worth it



And no, I don't think Hillary's record as SoS shows any difference from that.
Any sign of conscience.
The "We came. We saw. He died." video is of a piece with it.

Dems ought not elect her.
