President Barack Obama got a boost from Hillary Clinton on Thursday night, moments after announcing his executive actions to curb deportations for young people and parents of U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents.
Thanks to POTUS for taking action on immigration in the face of inaction. Now let’s turn to permanent bipartisan reform. #ImmigrationAction

I agree with her on this one, and for that matter on many of her stated positions. But I don’t trust her one bit, I think she’d say pretty much anything to get elected. The really sad part is that she’ll probably be the nominee and I’ll still have to vote for her over any of the contenders the Republicans have floated so far. Ugh.
He just handed her a huge issue to run on, especially now that Congress will almost certainly do nothing about immigration, and the GOP candidate will almost certainly be forced to declare that he will undo this EO.
Agreed. And that’s precisely why her immediate and incontestable statement of support for the EO is important–staking out the high ground for the '16 pro/anti immigration battles. This is strategically and philosophically encouraging.
I would have preferred her to say that this issue has her full support.
Meh. I’m no fan of Hillary (see above) but it didn’t come across as arrogant to me, and the casual tone is just how things are done on Twitter.
