Clinton demands government funding for illegals’ attorneys, tells Obama to stop raids

Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton urged President Obama to halt the new round of deportation raids and called Monday night for the government to pay for attorneys for all children who wind up in immigration courts.

Belatedly joining the other Democratic presidential hopefuls, who criticized the raids more than two weeks ago, Mrs. Clinton said the families from Central America who have flooded across the border in recent years deserve a chance to make their case for claiming asylum.

She also blasted the Homeland Security Department for how it has conducted the raids, which have netted 121 immigrants — about one-tenth of a percent of the number of illegal immigrant family members who have stormed the U.S.-Mexico line since the beginning of fiscal year 2014.
