Hillary Clinton: Deport The Illegal Children Back To Central America

The Daily Caller reports:

President Obama and Vice President Biden have both shied away from solutions to the problem. But in a CNN town hall broadcast on Tuesday, Hillary Clinton diverged significantly from her former boss.

“Hard choice,” asked CNN’s Christiane Amanpour. “Let them stay in the United States or send them back?”

“Well, two quick points,” the former secretary of state replied. “One, the numbers are increasing dramatically. And the main reason I believe why that’s happening is that the violence in certain of those Central American countries is increasing dramatically.”

“Should they be able to stay here?” Amanpour pressed. “It’s safer.”

“Well, it — it may be safer, but that’s not the answer,” Clinton responded.

“So should they be sent back?” Amanpour continued.

“Well, first of all, we have to provide the best emergency care we can provide,” Clinton said. “We have children 5 and 6 years old who have come up from Central America. We need to do more to provide border security in southern Mexico –”

“So you’re saying they should be sent back now,” Amanpour asserted.

“Well, they should be sent back as soon as it can be determined who responsible adults in their families are,” Clinton admitted. “There are concerns about whether all of them should be sent back, but I think all of them who can be should be reunited with their families.”

Hillary Clinton: showing some common sense.
