New Clinton Effort Tries to Tap the Power of ‘Dreamers’

WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary Clinton’s campaign is launching a new effort to tap into the political power of young, undocumented immigrants, hoping to capitalize on Donald Trump’s promises to make deporting them a top priority of his presidency.

The 730,000 young people brought to the U.S. as children without legal status are prohibited from voting. Known as Dreamers, they’ve proven themselves to be a powerful organizing force in American politics, mounting a high-profile public campaign that pressured President Barack Obama to grant many of them and their parents reprieves from deportation though two executive orders.

Clinton’s national voter registration program, called “Mi Sueño, Tu Voto/My Dream, Your Vote,” is being launched on the four-year anniversary of the 2012 order that temporarily shielded from deportation some young immigrants brought to the country illegally as children and allowed them to work legally.

  3. Even though they were brought here (illegally) as children their presence is still illegal and they are still not citizens of the USA.
    And she solicits their "vote"? I didn't think they HAD one.
    Hillary is afraid she won't get enough Americans to vote for her, so she courts a group of people from other countries.
    They must have contributed to the Foundation....

    Only half said in jest....

    Keep cheering.
