LAS VEGAS -- A resurgent Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton rode the momentum Wednesday from her strong performance in the first Democratic debate with her first large rally in months, telling a crowd here that she will preserve and expand President Obama's efforts to reform immigration rules.
"I really don't like what the Republicans are saying about immigrants," Clinton said. "We are a nation of immigrants," including her grandfather, she told a mixed crowd that included many Hispanics.
Earlier Wednesday, Clinton picked up the endorsement of the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades.
