'Disruptive and destabilizing' mass migration

Clinton took a relatively hardline stance regarding the influx of migrants to the Western world, warning it has gone "too far," but stressed the importance of maintaining families.

"There is a legitimate reason to have a debate about things like migration," said Clinton, who famously boasted in 2011 about toppling the Gaddafi regime during the U.S.-led invasion of Libya, which destabilized North Africa and led to a refugee crisis that spilled into Europe.

"It went too far, it’s been disruptive and destabilizing, and it needs to be fixed in a humane way with secure borders that don’t torture and kill people, and how we're going to have a strong family structure because it is at the base of civilization," she continued.

Clinton, who during her 2008 presidential campaign called for the deportation of illegal immigrants who have committed a crime, claimed in a lengthy op-ed for The Atlantic last month that the Trump administration is deliberately instilling fear by exhibiting cruel tactics during its immigration enforcement.

A supporter of former President Barack Obama's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program to allow children of illegal immigrants to stay in the U.S., Clinton reportedly pressed the Biden administration in 2023 to do more to address the swell of 100,000 migrants in New York City, including taking steps to allow for work authorizations.

Former President Bill Clinton, her husband, made cracking down on illegal immigration a key pillar of his presidency, deporting approximately 12.3 million people, a number that dwarfed all of his predecessors.

"More people were deported under my husband and Barack Obama without killing American citizens and without putting children into detention camps than were in the first Trump term or this first year of Trump's second term," Clinton said in Munich.

Turning Point USA spokesman Andrew Kolvet took to X to suggest Clinton's shifting rhetoric about mass migration is intended to win over moderate Americans during the 2026 midterm elections, after which, he predicted, the Democratic Party will continue forward with its open-borders policies.

"Hillary Clinton all of a sudden telling Europeans that mass migration has gone too far. Barack Obama all of a sudden roasting Gavin Newsom and homeless tent cities. Dem leaders are sending a signal to moderate the message so they can go full Virginia if they win in [2028]," he said, referring to the far-left legislative agenda that is being enacted in the commonwealth following the election of Democratic Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger, who ran as a moderate.
