RENO, Nev. (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton says hardline stances against admitting refugees to the United States are a mistake because they hurt law enforcement's ability to build ties within Muslim communities.
Clinton says at a roundtable with Nevada reporters the U.S. should not want to send a message that gives any support to terrorists looking create divisions between the U.S. and Muslims.
She says law enforcement wants people in communities it's looking to get information from to feel like they want to help. She says it's a "law enforcement issue."
Clinton was campaigning in Nevada amid calls for new restrictions on refugees fleeing war-torn Syria in the aftermath of attacks in Paris that killed 130 people and wounded hundreds more. The Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for the attacks.
