Hillary Clinton Attempts To Clarify Her Remarks Regarding Immigrants In Europe
Immigration has been a hotter-than-ever topic since the 2016 election campaigns of Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. Aside from concerns over the practice in the United States, Europe has also faced an influx of illegal immigrants in recent years from northern African and Middle Eastern countries.
Recently, Clinton made comments on the issues Europe is facing as a result, and many on the far-right lauded her for it. But as NBC News reports, she has clarified what she meant by that statement.
According to the outlet, Clinton originally claimed that “immigration reform, not open borders,” is needed “on both sides of the Atlantic,” adding, “I think Europe needs to get a handle on migration because that is what lit the flame.”
Far-right politicians and groups have used the fear of immigrants to score major victories in recent times.
