DES MOINES, Iowa, Dec. 4 (UPI) -- Democratic U.S. presidential hopefuls outlined their views on Iran, immigration and China during a radio broadcast debate Tuesday.
During the National Public Radio debate airing from Des Moines, Iowa, Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., said a Senate resolution listing the Iranian Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization prompted changes, but others disagreed, The New York Times reported.
Sen. Joseph Biden, D-Del., said, "There's no evidence that this declaration caused any change in action."
Noting that Clinton was the only Democratic candidate to vote for the resolution, former Sen. John Edwards, D-S.C., said all of the candidates "have big differences" with her.
Clinton detailed the level of her involvement during her husband's presidency when the candidates were asked about the type of human rights commitment the United States should demand from China. She said when she spoke of human rights while on a visit to China, Chinese officials blacked out her speech.
The candidates are asked whether they would punish employers who hire illegal immigrants. Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., said he would "initiate a process immediately," but adding that implementing a system for employer verification would take time.
