Clinton says her use of term 'illegal immigrant' was a 'poor choice of words'

Clinton says her use of term 'illegal immigrant' was a 'poor choice of words' - CNNPolitics.com: "Boulder, Colorado (CNN)Hillary Clinton said Tuesday that her use of the term "illegal immigrant" at a town hall in New Hampshire earlier this month was a "poor choice of words."
"That was a poor choice of words," Clinton wrote during a Facebook chat. 
"As I've said throughout this campaign, the people at the heart of this issue are children, parents, families, DREAMers. 
They have names, and hopes and dreams that deserve to be respected."
She added during the chat, which was sponsored by Telemundo, that she has "talked about undocumented immigrants hundreds of times" throughout the campaign and "fought for years for comprehensive immigration reform."
During a town hall earlier this month in Windham, New Hampshire, Clinton gave a more conservative answer on immigration and controlling the United States' southern border."
