Democrats Offer Contrast With Republicans on Immigration

New  York Times

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.”
