Clinton claimed Wednesday in Iowa that 'all my grandparents came over here ' as immigrants . She said last year that one of her grandmothers immigrated to Pennsylvania and worked in a silk mill . The New York Times reported on the story, but did not mention any specific family members who were born in America or had lived there for generations.
Clinton claimed Wednesday in Iowa that 'all my grandparents came over here ' as immigrants . She said last year that one of her grandmothers immigrated to Pennsylvania and worked in a silk mill . But Buzzfeed found American Census records showing that only one Clinton grandfather , adn neither of their wives , was born outside the US . Clinton apparently shaded the truth to seem more authentic with her argument that illegal immigrants should have more legal access to jobs .
