Very strongly agree

Agree

Yes, as long as it is safe for them to return to their country

While safety of the immigrant's home country was not a primary consideration in the 1996 act, it is likely that Clinton would agree with the principle of not deporting people to unsafe conditions. However, this was not a major focus of his immigration policy, so the score is not as high as for other answers.
