Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton spoke with KTAR's Lauren Grifo days before the Arizona primary.




PHOENIX — The United States has done a “really good job” of securing the border between Arizona and Mexico, Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton said in an exclusive interview Thursday.

“I think we’ve done a really good job securing the border,” she said. “I think that those who say we haven’t are not paying attention to what was done the last 15 years under President (George W.) Bush and President (Barack) Obama.”

..........................
“I think the No. 1 issue is getting the economy growing again with more good jobs and rising incomes,” she said. “I think that goes hand in hand with good education and good health care.”

The former secretary of state also touched on gun control. Clinton said she would like to see comprehensive background checks and the closure of several loopholes that allow firearms to fall into the wrong hands.

1. Yes, thank you Madam Secretary for that early Christmas gift to Trump.

Herr Drumpf and the GOP will resist the temptation to turn this into a multi million-dollar political ad blitz, I'm sure.

[Cryptoad]

2. Thats what the data says!

K&R

[phazed0]

3. Barf.

Yay! Hillary and Trump in favor of big wall! Yay.

[Dr Hobbitstein]

7. What?

Nowhere is there ANYTHING in that article about Hillary wanted a wall. Hillary is stating that we've done a great job securing the border.

[phazed0]

9. What part of stating "great job" don't you get?

They have been building a border fence/wall and she thinks that's a good job. Minimal deductive logic required.

[Dr Hobbitstein]

10. I agree with her.

We've done a good job securing our border.

Trump does not agree with her.

Neither do you.

[phazed0]

11. Great! We can continue doing everything business as usual.

I thought this was DU and everyone thought the excessive policing and border(ing) of the country was a wasteful, ridiculous GOP stance and that real police work is what stop terrorists.. but, whatever.

[Dr Hobbitstein]

13. I'm OK with continuing and evolving Obama's policies. nt

[Trust Buster]

4. She is correct. This President has far exceeded Bush in the area of birder security.

[SoLeftIAmRight]

5. she is pushing the new number one idea

that makes three - and the wind shifted again - poll baby poll

[tomm2thumbs]

6. egadz

Trump ad number 3 I'm sure, right after barking and coughing and the rest of the flips and flops recorded over time, available on YouTube for anyone to watch

8. More Mexicans Leaving Than Coming to the U.S.

Net Loss of 140,000 from 2009 to 2014; Family Reunification Top Reason for Return according to the 2015 PRC report. Hartman mentioned that the number of US citizens moving to Mexico is at an all time high, less expenses, cheaper living.

[Angel Martin]

12. thank you SOS Clinton

for making D Trump's nonsense seem sensible by comparison.

"To sum up the problems the area faces, a video noted that in 2015, 1.6 million pounds of marijuana and cocaine were seized by U.S. Border Patrol. There were 17,500 agents in the Southwest area. About 331,000 Mexican citizens and 143,000 international (other than Mexican) citizens were apprehended."

470,000 aprehended after illegally crossing. Sounds totally under control to me.

[Reter]

14. Well, I guess Arizona is out of the question in November

We'll have to focus elsewhere.

[Kali]

15. well, that is utter bullshit

the migration dropped when out economy was in the toilet, not because of any border security

I live near the border and people went home. they are starting to come back to work and no massive deportation like the President has engaged in nor giant idiotic walls like the drumpf is plotting are going to stop many. the whole concept of "border security" is idiotic.
