Clinton in 2014: Immigrant Children ‘Should Be Sent Back’

Hillary Clinton, appearing in a CNN interview in 2014 with Christiane Amanpour, said DREAMers will need to be sent back to their native countries.

Here's the exchange:

CLINTON: "... and many children are fleeing from that violence."
AMANPOUR: "Should they be able to stay here? It's safer?"
CLINTON: "It may be safer, but that's not the answer. I --"
AMANPOUR: "Should they be sent back?"
CLINTON: "Well, first of all, we have to provide the best emergency care we can provide. We have children five and six years old who have come up from Central America. We need to do more to provide border security--"[crosstalk]
AMANPOUR: "So you are saying they should be sent back now?"
CLINTON: "Well, they should be sent back as soon as it can be determined who responsible adults in their families are. There are concerns about whether all of them can be sent back, but I think all of them who can be should be reunited with their families. And just as Vice President Biden is arguing today, in Central America, we have to do more. I started this when I was secretary--to deal with the violence in this region, to deal with border security. But we have to send a clear message: Just because your child gets across the border, that doesn’t mean the child gets to stay. We don’t want to send a message that’s contrary to our laws or will encourage more children to make that dangerous journey.”
