Clinton Interrupted by Protesters During Immigration Speech

HeadlineDec 15, 2015

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has outlined her policy on immigration. Speaking in Brooklyn, New York, Monday, Clinton promised to waive fees associated with naturalization, close privately run detention centers and help create a path to full citizenship for the millions of undocumented people living in the United States.

Hillary Clinton: “We are a big-hearted country, and we should never forget that, and we shouldn’t let anybody on the public stage say that we are mean-spirited, that we are going to build walls—mentally and physically—that we’re going to shut doors, and we’re going to lose the talents and the contributions of millions of people who are here doing the best they can, building lives for themselves and their children.”

Clinton was interrupted by protesters who criticized her previous remarks on immigration and called for a moratorium on immigrant detention.
