Hillary Clinton: Republican mass deportation dreams are 'not only absurd, but appalling'

Hillary Clinton took aim at Donald Trump and too many other Republicans when she was asked about immigration Friday afternoon:

"I know that there are some on the other side who are seriously advocating to deport 11-12 million people who are working here.”

She continued, saying it was “the height of irony that a party which espouses small government would want to unleash a massive law enforcement effort–-including perhaps National Guard and others–-to go and literally pull people out of their homes and their workplaces, round them up, put them, I don’t know, in buses, boxcars, in order to take them across our border.”

“I just find that not only absurd, but appalling,” Clinton said.

Republicans are trying to make this A Thing, because, see, she said "boxcars."

Some -me included- criticized Huckabee for Holocaust comparison. Hope they do same w/Hillary. Grossly inappropriate. http://t.co/...

Yes, and saying buses or boxcars with no actual Holocaust reference is just like saying that a nuclear deal with Iran "will take the Israelis and march them to the door of the oven." Exactly the same. Also, too:

Each time Mr. Boehner arrived at the White House for an event, the president would pull him aside and ask about immigration, according to White House and Republican aides. Mr. Boehner urged patience, saying there was a “narrow path” to get something done, despite opposition in his party from what Republican aides call the “boxcars crowd,” a reference to conservative members who favor deportation for most of the 11 million. (Emphasis added)

Can we just nip this stupid line of attack in the bud, please?
