*'''Global trading system isn't up to standards of fairness'''**The current global trading system is distorted not only by barriers to entry in developing and emerging economies, but by the power of special interests in developed countries, including the US. To make trade fairer as well as freer, developing countries have to do a better job of improving productivity, raising labor conditions, and protecting the environment. In the US, we have to do a better job of providing good jobs to those displaced by trade.

==Immigration==*{{:Hillary has shown longstanding, steadfast commitment to America’s immigrants throughout her career. As president, she will work to ensure a fair Clinton (Jobs and just immigration system.[https://www.hillaryclinton.com/issues/immigration-reform/]Business Policy)}}
*As president, Hillary will:
**Fight for comprehensive immigration reform legislation with a path to full and equal citizenship. [https://www.hillaryclinton.com/issues/immigration-reform/]
**Defend President Obama’s DACA and DAPA executive actions. [https://www.hillaryclinton.com/issues/immigration-reform/]
**Do everything possible under the law to go further to protect families. If Congress continues its refusal to act on comprehensive immigration reform, Hillary will put in place a simple, straightforward, accessible system for parents of DREAMers and others with a history of service and contribution to their communities to be able to make their case and be eligible for deferred action as well. [https://www.hillaryclinton.com/issues/immigration-reform/]
**Conduct humane, targeted immigration enforcement. Hillary will focus enforcement resources on detaining and deporting those individuals who pose a violent threat to public safety, and work to ensure refugees who seek asylum in the U.S. have a fair chance to tell their stories. [https://www.hillaryclinton.com/issues/immigration-reform/]
***End family detention. Hillary believes we should end family detention for parents and children who arrive at our border in desperate situations. We have alternatives to detention for those who pose no flight or public safety risk, such as supervised release, that have proved effective and cost a fraction of what it takes to keep families in detention. [https://www.hillaryclinton.com/issues/immigration-reform/]
***Close private immigrant detention centers. Hillary will end private immigrant detention centers. She believes we should move away from contracting out this critical government function to private corporations and private industry incentives that may contribute—or have the appearance of contributing—to over-incarceration. [https://www.hillaryclinton.com/issues/immigration-reform/]
**Expand access to affordable healthcare to all families. Hillary sponsored the Immigrant Children’s Health Improvement Act in the Senate, which later became law and allows immigrant children and pregnant women to obtain Medicaid and SCHIP. [https://www.hillaryclinton.com/issues/immigration-reform/]
**Promote naturalization. [https://www.hillaryclinton.com/issues/immigration-reform/]

Hillary Clinton was born on October 26, 1947, in Chicago, Illinois, going on to earn her law degree from Yale University. She married fellow law school graduate Bill Clinton in 1975. She later served as first lady from 1993 to 2001, and then as a U.S. senator from 2001 to 2009. In early 2007, Clinton announced her plans to run for the presidency. During the 2008 Democratic primaries, she conceded the nomination when it became apparent that Barack Obama held a majority of the delegate vote. After winning the national election, Obama appointed Clinton secretary of state. She was sworn in as part of his cabinet in January 2009 and served until 2013. In the spring of 2015, she announced her plans to again run for the U.S. presidency.
