Hillary Clinton (D)
Hillary Clinton receives an overall grade of: F
Hillary Clinton receives a grade of 
on the issue of Official English.
Hillary Clinton’s statements and votes make it abundantly clear that she is categorically opposed to making English the official language. In 2007, Senator Clinton joined with Senators Obama, Kerry, and Reid to vote against an amendment to an immigration bill that would have made English the official language of government. In a 2008 Presidential debate with Obama, Clinton stated, “It is important that English remain our common unifying language because that brings our country together in a way that we have seen generations of immigrants coming to our shores be able to be part of the American experience and pursue the American dream. I have been adamantly against the efforts by some to make English the official language. That I do not believe is appropriate, and I have voted against it and spoken against it. I represent New York. We have 170 languages in NYC alone. I do not think we should be, in any way, discriminating against people who do not speak English, who use facilities like hospitals or have to go to court to enforce their rights. But English does remain an important part of the American experience.” Clinton completely mischaracterized the official English movement, which advocates for making English the official language of government, with exceptions for commonsense things like health emergencies and the courts.
Hillary Clinton receives a grade of on the issue of Bilingual Ballots.
Hillary Clinton has not explicitly called for an expansion of multi-lingual ballots. However, by advocating against the 2013 Supreme Court ruling on the Voting Rights Act (VRA), Clinton is de facto supporting the use of bilingual ballots in numerous languages in districts specified by the VRA that have more than 10,000 people speaking a foreign language or 5% of the voting age population based on census data. Clinton’s 2016 campaign agenda calls for universal automatic voter registration. This policy effectively takes screening for eligibility out of the hands of secretaries of state, and is a general invitation to voter fraud. When coupled with granting drivers licenses to illegal aliens, universal automatic registration removes all verification of citizenship and is therefore an open invitation to voter fraud by the estimate 11 million illegal aliens residing in America.
Hillary Clinton receives a grade of on the issue of Amnesty.
President Obama Hillary Clinton’s campaign platform calls for “comprehensive immigration reform legislation with a path to full and equal citizenship.” Thus Clinton would grant citizenship to the estimated 11 million illegal aliens currently residing in the USA. Clinton’s platform calls for extending Medicaid benefits to illegal aliens and SCHIP benefits to the children of illegals at taxpayer expense. Clinton has said that she would do everything in her power to extended Obama’s DREAM, DACA, and DAPA executive orders. Her campaign website calls for extending citizenship to the parents of illegal immigrants covered under the DREAM executive order. It also calls for canceling the detention of families apprehended at the border and for closing privately operated detention facilities. Clinton offers only vague promises of increased funding for English training, but nothing close to the English testing requirement that naturalized citizens must pass.
Hillary Clinton receives a grade of on the issue of on the issue of Puerto Rican Statehood.
Hillary Clinton supports Puerto Rican statehood, provided that a referendum in favor of statehood passes. Her campaign website issue statement ends by claiming “That question (the question of Puerto Rico’s ultimate future) needs to be resolved in accordance with the expressed will of our fellow citizens, the people of Puerto Rico.” Clinton gives no indication whether this would be a simple majority of voters or just a strong plurality. There is no clarification as to what the structure of the ballot would look like in terms of being a two-option ballot (statehood or not) or a three-option ballot (statehood, commonwealth, independence). Moreover, Clinton gives no indication that Congress should mandate official English when voting on potential statehood. On her visit to the island in September of 2015, Clinton indicated her general support for statehood, and advocated for immediate Chapter 9 bankruptcy protections for the central and local governments and public corporations. Clinton also advocates increasing the Medicaid, Medicare, and Medicare Advantage funding rates. In Puerto Rico she stated, “I do not believe you can fix your economy through austerity alone.” These policies obviously add up to a mis-guided attempt to solve Puerto Rico’s sovereign debt crisis through more taxpayer funded programs from the United States and a Keynesian tax and spend policy on the island.
Hillary Clinton receives a grade of on the issue of English-in-the-workplace.
Hillary Clinton’s campaign has not issued a position statement on the issue of the right of employers to require employees to speak English on the job for all things work-related, such as business transactions, customer interactions, company communications, and meetings. However, her track record makes it clear she is opposed to English-on-the-job policies. As a Senator in 2008, Clinton voted against an amendment (S.AMDT.4222) to an appropriations bill (S.CON.RES.70) whose purpose was “To take $670,000 used by the EEOC in bringing actions against employers that require their employees to speak English, and instead use the money to teach English to adults through the Department of Education’s English Literacy/Civics Education State Grant program.” It is abundantly clear from this ‘No’ vote that Clinton opposes English on the job policies.
Hillary Clinton receives a grade of on the issue of Multiculturalism & Assimilation.
Hillary Clinton’s 2006 book is entitled It Takes A Village. This folksy title conceals the progressive demand for a colossal administrative state, and cloaks it in the lingo of multiculturalism. But the slogan seems to have largely disappeared from Clinton’s lexicon after her defeat in 2008 at the hands of Obama, whose rhetoric of hope and change more effectively advanced the statism inherent in the progressive left’s multiculturalist ideology. The Hillary Clinton of 2016 is more pragmatic in her approach than the Hillary Clinton of 2006. In July 2015, the progressive left Black Lives Matter protesters attacked Clinton and her rival candidates O’Malley and Sanders because they had said ‘All Lives Matter.’ Unlike O’Malley, Clinton did not apologize to the protesters. Instead, she backed down to their political correctness and asserted that there is a nationwide epidemic of “systemic racism” in police departments and the criminal justice system. This incident demonstrates that Hillary Clinton is willing to kao tao to multiculturalism’s primary weapon of political correctness.
