In
a Democratic debate that offers many contrasts with Republicans,
perhaps no difference was as stark as the conversation about
immigration.
On
the stage in Las Vegas, the candidates went out of their way to
demonstrate their support for immigrants, with most of them saying they
support allowing illegal immigrants
some access to Obamacare and receiving in-state tuition for attending
college.
Hillary
Rodham Clinton and Martin O’Malley both said they would go further than
President Clinton did when he took executive action to allow millions
of illegal immigrants
to live and work in the United States without fear of deportation.
Asked
whether illegal immigrants should have access to subsidies under the
Affordable Care Act, Jim Webb said, “I wouldn’t have a problem with
that.”
All
of which could not be more different from the Republican debates, where
most of the candidates repeatedly declared their desire to rid the
country of all 11 million
undocumented immigrants.
Mrs.
Clinton sought to highlight those differences, at one point noting that
the Democratic candidates were offering a different message than
Republicans, who she said
have “demonized hardworking immigrants and who have insulted them.”
