“Gov. [Kathy] Hochul thinks it should be modified, and it probably should under the circumstances,” Clinton said — adding that Democrats are taking a major hit over the crisis.

“He’s trying to do that. Probably somebody will sue him and say, ‘You can’t do that for one group and not another,'” Clinton said.Gov. Hochul says border ‘is too open’ and demands ‘limit’ on crossings as NY struggles with migrant crisis

“The [US immigration] system is built to handle about 400,000 … We should build more housing just over the Rio Grande, and Mexico, I think, would support that,” he said. “Keep people there, and let them in as quickly as possible if they are going some place where we know they can get a job and they’ll be welcome.”

“We have always had a blanket offer of entry into America for people who have a reasonable fear for the lives and safety of their families and themselves. A lot of the Venezuelans can easily make that case. … Because there’s no question that the whole country has been consumed by the collapse of effective security and government in the [Venezuelan] Nicolás Maduro administration,” Clinton said.

Clinton emphasized that immigration is good for America, especially given the country’s declining birth rate. He said parts of America — particularly citing regions of upstate New York — suffer from a labor shortage that can be filled by migrants.
