Illegal Immigrants
    In the 2008 presidential contest, Hillary distinguished herself as an opponent of illegal immigration, tangling with the rest of the Democratic field on the issue of driver’s licenses for the undocumented. She said, “As president, I will not support driver’s licenses for undocumented people and will press for comprehensive immigration reform that deals with all of the issues around illegal immigration, including border security and fixing our broken system.” 60 But in 2016, she flip-flopped. Her spokesman told the Huffington Post that “Hillary supports state policies to provide driver’s licenses to undocumented immigrants.” 61
    As hundreds of thousands of children from Central America illegally sought to enter the United States over the porous Mexican border in the spring of 2014, Hillary wanted to send them back:“They should be sent back as soon as it can be determined who responsible adults in their families are,” Clinton said. “There are concerns about whether all of them should be sent back, but I think all of them who can be should be reunited with their families. We have to send a clear message: Just because your child gets across the border, that doesn’t mean the child gets to stay,” Hillary declared. “So we don’t want to send a message that is contrary to our laws, or will encourage more children to make that dangerous journey.” 62
    But when the time actually came to start deporting the children, Hillary changed her position once again. Her campaign spokesperson said, “Hillary Clinton has real concerns about these reports [of deportations], especially as families are coming together during this holiday season.” The campaign statement added, “She believes it is critical that everyone has a full and fair hearing, and that our country provides refuge to those that need it. And we should be guided by a spirit of humanity and generosity as we approach these issues.” 63
    These are just a selection of Hillary Clinton flip-flops. On virtually every major issue, she has taken one side and then the other, always shading her position so as to give herself maximum political advantage.
Reason Six: She Is Corrupt . . . Always Immersed in Scandal
    If Hillary is elected, she will take her place along with Warren G. Harding and Richard M. Nixon as one of the most corrupt presidents in our history.
    Corruption with Hillary is a way of life. She justifies her corruption by a personal narrative that suggests that she eschewed big bucks on Wall Street as a major corporate lawyer to serve the public in Arkansas. The narrative is, of course, fanciful. She failed the Washington, DC, bar exam, foreclosing most of the lucrative opportunities, and was glad to go to Arkansas, the only bar she had passed.
    From the very beginning of her public life, she has always been corrupt. It started in small ways.
Cattle Futures Insider Trading
    In 1978, Hillary invested $1,000 in cattle futures contracts. The all time best investment ever made, Hillary walked away with $100,000 the very next year. Having no experience in the futures markets, Hillary was guided in her investment by James Blair, a friend who was outside counsel to Tyson Foods. The editor of the Journal of Futures Markets said in April 1994 that Hillary’s gains in the cattle futures market were “like buying ice skates one day and entering the Olympics a day later.” 64 Two economists from the University of North Florida and Auburn University calculated the odds of such winnings without outside fixing as 1 in 31 trillion. 65
    Blair and Tyson Foods were well compensated for their efforts on Hillary’s behalf. Not only did Governor Clinton waive environmental standards to help Tyson’s chicken industry in Arkansas, but as the Wall Street Journal reported, the firm also got special treatment in Washington after Clinton became president. The Journal wrote in 1994, “Over the past year, an Agriculture Department blitz against
