Ol' Hillary on Immigration

On her website, Clinton lists the actions she has taken on immigration:

• She championed the Legal Immigrant Children's Health Improvement Act, which would give states the option to provide federally funded Medicaid and SCHIP benefits to low-income legal immigrant children and pregnant women.
• She wrote the Access to Employment and English Acquisition Act to meet the growing demand for English language courses and other job skills.
• She strongly supports the DREAM Act, which provides a path to citizenship through military service or higher education for children who were brought to the U.S. by their parents.
• She offered an amendment to make family reunification the guiding principle of our immigration system.

She believes that the current Immigration system is ineffective and needs to refurbished. Clinton also wants tougher penalties for employers and business that are hiring illegal immigrants. She is "passionate" toward families, and doesn't wish to separate them. Hillary thinks that the reform begins with a fence on the Mexican border. She supports the creation of a new system to verify employment eligibility.
