Hillary Clinton steers clear of water controversy in Fresno

Touching down in Fresno one week ago, Donald Trump offered a standard Republican critique of California’s water shortage – that it is, as legions of roadside banners here proclaim, the “man-made” result of environmental policies restricting water flows.

Then he barreled further, declaring “there is no drought.”

But if exaggeration is Trump’s style, Hillary Clinton’s would appear to be avoidance.

The Democratic presidential frontrunner, campaigning in Fresno on Saturday, localized her longstanding criticism of Trump’s plan to deport undocumented immigrants living in the United States, pledging to make sure “that 1.2 million farmworkers in California will not be rounded up and deported.”
