President Obama has attempted to reform immigration more drastically than any other president, but Hillary Clinton STILL isn’t satisfied.
“If Congress continues to refuse to act, I will do everything under the law to go further than what President Obama has attempted to achieve,” Clinton said.
She plans to increase funding for preschool programs, including Head Start, an early childhood education program for low-income families that she worked on during her husband’s presidency.
“All of our kids need the opportunity to get off the to the best possible start, but too many children are getting behind,” she said.
Clinton repeated calls for universal voter registration. “We should be making it easier to vote, not putting up barriers that disempower and disenfranchise Americans,” she said. “Who are those barriers aimed at: young people, poor people and people of color.”
But not everyone is convinced she can follow through.
RNC Chairman Reince Priebus released a statement saying that Clinton is “only looking out for her own political ambition.”
“As she has proven time and again, Hillary Clinton will say anything to get elected — making big promises she won’t and can’t keep, just like President Obama,” Priebus said in the statement.
