New York Senator Hillary Clinton is the latest presidential candidate to make a pre-primary stop in San Diego. She spoke to more than 7,000 supporters at San Diego State University this afternoon. KPBS reporter Nicole Lozare was there.
Clinton's supporters waited in line for hours to hear one of the two front runners in the Democratic presidential primary.
She spoke for 45-minutes at the Cox Arena and brought the crowd to their feet a number of times.
Clinton laid out her proposal to fix the immigration problem. She promised more federal relief for San Diego.
Clinton : San Diego and California don't make immigration policy -- the federal government needs to pay more so that the tax payers of local communities don't bear those costs.
Clinton said she also wants to help countries like Mexico provide better jobs for their citizens. She said that would help reduce the number of illegal immigrants who are searching for a better future in America.
