Bill Clinton on immigration!

[Coach]

1 ) We must not tolerate illegal immigration. Since 1992, we have increased our Border Patrol by over 35%; deployed underground sensors, infrared night scopes and encrypted radios; built miles of new fences; and installed massive amounts of new lighting. We have moved forcefully to protect American jobs by calling on Congress to enact increased civil and criminal sanctions against employers who hire illegal workers. Since 1993, we have removed 30,000 illegal workers from jobs across the country.

2 ) The Clinton Administration sent a legislative proposal to Congress in 1995 to strengthen the country's strategy for combating illegal immigration. This proposed legislation provides for:
No fewer than 700 new Border Patrol agents.

An Employment Verification Pilot Program to determine the most effective means of removing a significant incentive to illegal immigration: employment in the US.
Increased penalties for alien smuggling, illegal reentry, failure to depart, employer violations, and immigration document fraud.
Streamlined deportation procedures so that criminal aliens can be more expeditiously removed from the US.

>>>Maybe Trump should unse this on commericals or social media? I have always believed the Clintons were blood suckers of the worst kind and had no real party affiliation. Bill was a Republican in his second term, working very well and using many of Newt Grinches ideas.

In Bills case, he had a snake like charming ability on the disenfranchised and minorities, which always plays well with Democratic based voters, yet many of his and Hillary policies are Republican like.

Sounds like he might be voting for Trump.

Also we should remember that black leaders widely criticized Bill Clinton after he equated the eventual victory of Obama in the South Carolina primary in January to that of the Rev. Jesse Jackson in the 1988 caucus, a parallel that many took as an effort to diminish Obama’s success in the campaign….In an interview with The New York Times late Thursday, Mr. Clyburn [3rd ranking Democrat in the US House of Representatives] said Mr. Clinton’s conduct in this campaign had caused what might be an irreparable breach between Mr. Clinton and an African-American constituency that once revered him.

Speaking of Jim Clyburn and South Carolina, he was on NBC recently, talking about Clinton’s firewall in 2016. He says that if Sanders wins by ten points in Iowa, that firewall could disappear very quickly. As it did in 2008. But the most interesting part of the polls is the racial and gender breakdown of the vote: Clinton is losing a higher percentage of her black supporters than of her white supporters, and Sanders is making greater gains among women than among men.
