The Daily Caller – by Brendan Bordelon
Probable Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton broke with President Obama on a key policy issue Tuesday, claiming the unprecedented number of illegal children flooding into the United States must be deported and returned to their families in Central America.
For years, parents in crime-ridden Central American nations have been sending their children up through Mexico alone to cross the American border.
Driven in part by rhetoric emanating from the White House, these parents believe their children will be safe in the United States and won’t be turned away.
But thousands of these young people — many mere toddlers — die while trekking through Central America and Mexico on their own.
The flood recently became too much for the White House to hide, spilling into warehouses run by the Border Patrol, the Department of Homeland Security and a partnership of other public and private agencies. And the deluge shows no signs of abating.
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.”
“We have to send a clear message: Just because your child gets across the border, that doesn’t mean the child gets to stay,” Hillary declared. “So we don’t want to send a message that is contrary to our laws, or will encourage more children to make that dangerous journey.”
Yeah right Hillary and we sure could believe you if you were not priming yourself for the 2016 election and you want to win. How easy is it to make that statement as children cant vote and would make you sound like you are with the people here on this. What a liar and a fake. What will you do and how far will you go?
I guess Hitlery is using this to try and garner support for her presidential run. She’s so pathetic. Yes Hitery, the day I believe a word that you are saying is the day I believe Barry is doing everything he can to help We the People.
So convenient for her to make this statement AFTER it has happened. She is attempting to have us believe that she would have prevented this had she still been the Secretary of State?
Kettle calling the POTUS black (pun intended).
More dog-and-pony from the woman who laughed about a rape victim…
I have no sympathy for anyone who believes anything she says or does to get elected and votes for this psychopath. Some folks just won’t get it until they are locked in FEMA camps. I hate to say that but it’s true, unfortunately.
You guys are 100% correct but there is more to the story…I dont have all the facts but TPTB are a bit upset with obummer and are allowing him to be beaten up…more on this as the story develops…film at 11. 🙂
Its like, ok, we tried a white president, a black president, neither worked out so lets try a woman or hispanic president…
And I dont even know why we talk about a presidential election anymore…They could get a goat from the rocky mountains and make the goat president…dress the goat in a suit and spread the goat’s cuteness over the media, voila, you have a president. it doesnt matter.
Would the goat be male or female?

Androgynous.
Pure, unadulterated pandering.
