http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/243200-hillary-blasts-federal-courts-immigration-decisionHillary Clinton on Wednesday blasted a federal appeals court for maintaining a hold on President Obamas 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 Obamas 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 courts ruling preventing the programs from taking effect.

(30,481 posts)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 know GOPers are trying to fend off Latinos/Latinas but there are plenty of other immigrates here, i.e Asia, et al.,

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!
