Another key issue that Hillary stands by President Barrack Obamas executive action on the immigration reform that allows for long-term illegal immigrants in the United States and their families to gain legal residency and in the future citizenship in the United States. She plans to do so within her first 100 days in office. Hillary will put forth most resources on deporting and detaining people who present a threat to the society and hear out those refugees who seek asylum in the United States. By doing so Clinton says it will add $700 billion to our economy and allow families to reunite with family and start their dreams. Also, Hillary will tighten up gun control by closing loopholes in current legislation to prevent criminals from getting guns. She asserts that, “90 people a day die from gun violence in our country, that’s 33,000 people a year.” Clinton proposes that that the 2004 assault weapon ban should be brought back to decrease the amount of gun violence.

Lastly Clinton stands firmly on pro-life. Hillary proclaimed, “I will defend Planned Parenthood. I will defend Roe v. Wade, and I will defend women's rights to make their own health care
