Hillary Clinton’s views on immigration are entirely mainstream

Hillary Rodham Clinton took a stand on immigration policy when she sat down with a group of students in Las Vegas on Tuesday. …

Here is how media headlines characterized Clinton’s statements. Vox led with “Hillary just took a stunningly aggressive stance on immigration reform.” The National Journal’s headline stated that “Hillary Clinton Just told immigration Activists What they Want to Hear.” And Politico characterized her speech as a “pivot to the left.”

The reality is much different. Far from being aggressive, liberal and aligned with immigration activists, Clinton’s views are fairly mainstream. CONT.
