Hillary: ‘We Are Going To Start Immediately’ on Immigration Reform
RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
REPORTER: "I want to start with the topic that I believe will result, tell the future of it after this election. It is immigration reform. Many Latinos are discouraged by the lack of immigration reform. They believe their vote has been taken for granted. We know what your position is. What I would like for you to do is to walk us through the steps -- how will you get immigration reform, having that president Obama was not able to do, so that Latinos can't believe that something is -- can believe that something is going to happen, that their vote is not taken for granted, considering that the house will remain under Republican control."
CLINTON: "A great question and one that I have given much thought to, because I am determined that we are going to achieve comprehensive immigration reform with a path to citizenship. Here is how I see it. We are going to start immediately. I want this to be a clear high priority for my administration. We will be prepared to introduce as efficient as quickly as we can do so. I am hoping that the outcome of the election, which I am working hard to ensure a victory, will send a clear message to our Republican friends that it is time for them to quit standing in the way of immigration reform. If you remember, after the 2012 election, the Republican national committee did what they call an autopsy of their loss and concluded that they could not continue to deny the importance of immigration reform, and they urged Republicans running for office to get on board."
