Democratic strategist Maya Rupert criticized former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on MS NOW on Monday, saying her recent comments on mass immigration are not helpful to the Democratic Party.

While in Germany for the Munich Security Conference, Clinton participated in a panel titled, "The West–West Divide: What Remains of Common Values." During the panel, Clinton surprised many of her Republican critics by admitting how much of an issue mass illegal immigration had become during President Biden's term in office. One of the most widely quoted estimates, including by border czar Tom Homan, is that 10 million illegal immigrants crossed the border during Biden's term in office.

"It went too far, it's been disruptive and destabilizing, and it needs to be fixed in a humane way with secure borders that don't torture and kill people and how we're going to have a strong family structure because it is at the base of civilization," she added.

 Her comments quickly went viral online, but were criticized during a panel on MS NOW's "Chris Jansing Reports." Read more and see video here.
