Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton on Sunday called for a drastic increase in the number of refugees the U.S. plans to take in.
"You know, look, we're facing the worst refugee crisis since the end of World War II and I think the United States has to do more and I would like to see us move from what is a good start with 10,000 to 65,000 and begin immediately to put into place the mechanisms for vetting the people we would take in, looking to really emphasis some of those who are most vulnerable," Clinton said on CBS's Face the Nation.
