On a campaign visit to a largely-Hispanic Las Vegas neighborhood on Thursday, Hillary Clinton declared, “No woman is illegal.”

According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Clinton spent approximately an hour going door-to-door in the area near Eastern and Washington Avenues.

One woman, a real-estate broker, asked Clinton in accented English: “I have no income at all, so how will I survive?"

"In my neighborhood, there are brand-new homes,” the woman said, “But the value is nothing. I'm glad you are here so I can tell you, because you're going to be the president, I know."

An unidentified man, from behind a wall, shouted to Clinton that his wife was illegal.

To cheers, Clinton replied, "No woman is illegal."
