It’s just fantasy.” Clinton was drawing a contrast between the Democrats immigration strategy reform and that of the Trump and the GOP when she made the remarks. The former Secretary of State added that Congress has already done a good job when it comes to securing the border, saying “let’s get about the business of comprehensive immigration reform.” Watch the clip from the debate above.
