As the Trump administration faces opposition over ending the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, also known as DACA, some have pointed out that Hillary Clinton also had a somewhat controversial stance on undocumented child immigrants. 

According to Mediaite, Clinton made the comments in 2014 while promoting her book 'Hard Choices.' 
She was speaking about the numerous young children from Central America crossing over the U.S. border when CNN’s Christiane Amanpour asked her if they should be sent back. 
“They should be sent back as soon as it can be determined who responsible adults in their families are, because there are concerns whether all of them should be sent back," Clinton responded. "But I think all of them who can be should be reunited with their families.” 
And after advocating for tougher border security, she added, “...we have to send a clear message, just because your child gets across the border, that doesn't mean the child gets to stay. 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.”
But Clinton clarified her position the following year, saying, “Specifically with respect to children on the border, if you remember, we had an emergency, and it was very important to send a message to families in Central America: Do not let your children take this very dangerous journey.”
Newsweek also notes that she has been a consistent supporter of DACA, an Obama-era program which helps protect young people brought to the U.S. illegally by their parents.
