Clinton and Sanders migrate on Immigration

I LEARNED a new word at Wednesday night’s Univision Democratic debate -- “Hispandering.” Univision’s Maria Elena Salinas asked former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton whether she was flip-flopping on her erstwhile opposition to “illegal immigrants.” (It’s interesting Salinas did not say “undocumented.” She said “illegal” immigrants.) Or was Clinton “Hispandering”? Salinas explained that the term means “pandering to Latinos.”

I can only hope that Clinton is Hispandering. Her positions certainly have evolved. In 2008, for example, Clinton opposed states granting driver’s licenses to undocumented immigrants. Now she supports driver’s licenses for immigrants in the country illegally.
