Hillary blasts court’s immigration decision

http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/243200-hillary-blasts-federal-courts-immigration-decision

Hillary Clinton on Wednesday blasted a federal appeals court for maintaining a hold on President Obama’s executive actions on immigration.

“5th Circuit is wrong on immigration. @POTUS followed precedent, took steps for families when GOP House wouldn't. Must continue the fight,” Clinton tweeted.
The tweet was signed “-H,” indicating it came directly from Clinton and not her campaign staff.

Clinton has taken an aggressive stance on immigration as she ramps up her campaign for president.

The Democratic front-runner supports a pathway for citizenship for immigrants living in the U.S. illegally. And if Congress does not act, she said she would go further than Obama in using her executive power to grant deportation relief if elected to the White House.

The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday ruled Obama’s program, which would allow parents of U.S. citizens and legal residents to apply for a temporary stay of deportation and work permits, must remain on hold until judges hear an appeal of lower court’s ruling preventing the programs from taking effect.

I love how she is going after this issue. It is so important and impacts the lives of every single American and millions and millions of non-Americans. The verbiage from Obama on this issue has often been his best. Clinton will do a great job building off of Obama's successes in this area.

I wonder when she's going to blast Obama for going over to the republican's side on the TPP. The multinational corporations couldn't care less about the immigration. In fact, they might be in favor of it. It's the TPP what they want passed. Where's Hillary on this?

The appeal's court are wrong on this one, and eventually this matter will go to the USSC where the five asshole justices sit.

I know GOPers are trying to fend off Latinos/Latinas but there are plenty of other immigrates here, i.e Asia, et al.,

Not only does this win the 2016 election for Hillary ;but finishes off the republican party for good. African-americans and now latinos hating you,asians and gays angry with you that is 30% of the voters and growing every election! Hillary should just talk about the evil republicans wanting to deport hispanic voters family members! And tell the critiques the only people who care about the e-mails or the clinton foundation aren't going to vote for me anyway. A noun a verb and citizenship it worked for rudy!
