Hillary Clinton, while in Germany for the Munich Security Conference, appeared to take a stronger approach to her previous stance on border security.
Fox News reports that while participating in a panel titled, “The West-West Divide: What Remains of Common Values,” she said “There is a legitimate reason to have a debate about things like migration.”
“”It went too far, it’s been disruptive and destabilizing, and imt needs to be fixed in a humane way with secure borders that don’t torture and kill people and how we’re ggoing to have a stro,ng family structure because it is at the base of civilization,” she added.
Clinton acknowledged that there are places where a physical barrier is appropriate but opposed large-scale expansion of a border wall during her 2016 presidential campaign.
At the time, she supported then President Barack Obama’s executive actions that deferred immigration endorsement against millions of children and parents in the country illegally and wanted to end the practice of family detention.
Clinton also planned on continuing Obama’s policy of deporting violent criminals, but wanted to scale back immigration raids, which she said at the time produced “unnecessary fear and disruption in communities,” Fox News Digital previously reported.
“It is now the official policy of the US government – a nation of immigrants – to separate children from their families. That is an absolute disgrace. #FamiliesBelongTogether,” she wrote on X.
