Martin O’Malley Sees Immigration as Opening to Gain Ground Against Rivals.
'In the buildup toward the second Democratic presidential debate, Martin OMalley has ramped up his attacks on his two main rivals, Hillary Rodham Clinton and Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, specifically on the topic of immigration.
Mr. OMalley has been struggling for months to gain ground, and there has been little room for him in the primary. But he believes that his record on immigration-related issues is more established than those of Mr. Sanders and Mrs. Clinton.
Mr. OMalley has been telegraphing the punches he might throw on Saturday evening on the debate stage, such as highlighting Mrs. Clintons stumble on the question of drivers licenses for undocumented immigrants in a debate in October 2007.
Mr. OMalley has a potential second issue to bring up: Last week, in New Hampshire, Mrs. Clinton highlighted her votes as a Senator supporting some version of a border fence.'
