He stated, \u2062&#8221;The Democrats lost enough seats in\u2062 New York because of reaction to the crime problem\u200b here and the sense\u200b that\u2014we didn\u2019t \u2064have\u2014we my \u2063party\u2014didn\u2019t have a good common-sense approach to it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Clinton proposed a solution to the immigration issue, suggesting that the United States\u200c should\u200c invest \u2062in building more housing \u200bnear the \u200cborder and allowing immigrants to enter \u2062quickly if\u2063 they have job opportunities and will contribute positively\u2064 to the economy.

However, with \u2062the recent influx of \u2063illegal immigrants, this law has become\u200d a point of contention. Critics argue that it is being taken advantage of \u2064by\u2063 those who\u200d are not eligible \u2063for\u2063 public assistance, including undocumented immigrants.<\/p>\n<p>Clinton&#8217;s call for change to the &#8220;right to shelter&#8221; law is significant, coming from a \u2062former president who is known for his stance on\u2064 immigration.

On the contrary, he recognizes\u2064 the importance of\u200c providing shelter to\u200c the homeless \u2063population, but wants to\u2062 ensure that\u2064 it is done in a fair and responsible manner.<\/p>\n<p>The migrant crisis at the U.S.\u2013Mexico border has put a spotlight on \u200cthe need for immigration policy reform.
