In the same Democratic speech made by Clinton in 2008, she states the illegal immigrants will need to “come out of the shadows” so the Government can officially register them as legal unlike Republicans who want to send the illegal immigrants back to their homeland. The only stipulation Clinton has for these immigrants is if those foreigners decide to pay a fine for entering America illegally, pay back taxes, and learn English (On The Issue 2015). If the Democratic party wins the presidency, the illegal immigrants now would most likely become legal if they agree to the stipulations and America would get millions of more people paying taxes once they become
