During a round-table discussion at a high school in Las Vegas on Tuesday, Hillary Clinton stated that she supports a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants who live in the United States, telling the audience, "We can't wait any longer for a path to full and equal citizenship."
Clinton did not name anyone specifically, but said there is a sharp distinction between her stance and the views of Republican presidential candidates, adding, "When they talk about legal status, that is code for second-class status." Before the event, Clinton's campaign announced she supports a plan that "treats anyone with dignity and compassion, upholds the rules of law, protects our border and national security, and brings hard-working people out of the shadows and into the formal economy so they can pay taxes and contribute to our nation's prosperity." Watch Clinton's remarks below. —Catherine Garcia
