Hillary Clinton takes on the GOP at the CNN debate. Clinton: Republicans demonize and insult immigrants

As the discussion shifted to illegal immigration, Hillary Clinton took a moment to make a broad remark about the level of rhetoric on the issue.

“There is such a difference between everything you’re hearing here on this stage" and what Republicans said during their first two debates, she said.

Republicans have "demonized" and "insulted" immigrants in the United States, she added.

“I want to open up the opportunity for immigrants to be able to buy into the exchanges under the Affordable Care Act," she also said of her immigration plan, emphasizing the importance of states leading the charge.
