Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said at the Munich Security Conference migration "went too far" in the past and it "needs to be fixed in a humane way."

The number of monthly border crossings has plummeted under President Trump's second term compared to the data under the Biden administration.

"There is a legitimate reason to have a debate about things like migration," Clinton said on Saturday.

"It went too far, it's been disruptive and destabilizing, and it needs to be fixed in a humane way with secure borders that don't torture and kill people and how we're going to have a strong family structure because it is at the base of civilization," she added.

Clinton also said that "more people were deported under my husband and Barack Obama without killing American citizens and without putting children into detention camps than were in the first Trump term or this first year of Trump's second term."
