If President Donald Trump were paid a dime every time critics call his anti-illegal immigration policy "Racist," he'd double his net worth.
Hillary Clinton, Trump's 2016 presidential rival, and former Secretary of State John Kerry argued that Europe should enact more restrictive immigration policies.
"I think Europe needs to get a handle on migration because that is what lit the flame," said Clinton last week in an interview with The Guardian, referring to the hot-button issue of immigration among voters.
"In a recent interview," Clinton tweeted, "I talked about how Europe must reject right-wing nationalism and authoritarianism, including by addressing migration with courage and compassion. ... On both sides of the Atlantic, we need reform. Not open borders, but immigration laws enforced with fairness and respect for human rights. We can't let fear or bias force us to give up the values that have made our democracies both great and good. ... The EU needs a more comprehensive policy that builds societies that are both secure and welcoming."
Kerry, speaking at a recent event in London one week before Clinton's interview, also warned Europe about its immigration policy, which in the last few years has admitted millions of migrants, mostly from the Greater Middle East and Africa.
Kerry warned: "Europe's already crushed under this transformation that's taken place because of immigration. Germany - Angela Merkel, weakened because of it. And other places impacted, Italy - significantly impacted its politics by immigration."
The criticism Clinton faced from the left over her practical, commonsensical analysis says a lot about where Democrats stand on immigration - legal and illegal.
