Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton will focus on immigration during a campaign stop in Las Vegas on Tuesday, The Associated Press reported. The former secretary of state is set to discuss the issue in a roundtable discussion with youngsters at a local secondary school.

Clinton's campaign said that the candidate aimed to "visit with Nevadans, listen to their concerns, share ideas, and commit to earning their votes," according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

"At Rancho High School in Las Vegas, (Clinton) will join a roundtable of young Nevadans who are personally affected by our broken immigration system," the campaign said in a statement. "She will discuss how reform could strengthen families and community."

About 30 percent of the population in the Silver State is Hispanic and immigration marks a "divisive issue." Supporters of comprehensive immigration reform are pushing for a path to legal status for the estimated 11 million undocumented Hispanics who live in the United States. Opponents, meanwhile, argue that changes must be made step by step and start with tightening border security.

The issue had been a challenging topic for Clinton when she first ran for the Democratic nomination in 2008 and stumbled over a debate question, in which she was asked whether she was in favor of states' granting driver's licenses to undocumented immigrants, the Huffington Post recalled.

Eight years ago, the then-senator said she would not support such a move, a position she has since changed.

"Hillary supports state policies to provide driver's licenses to undocumented immigrants," a campaign spokesperson said.

Conservative Hispanic groups, meanwhile, have pointed to Bill Clinton's much-criticized immigration policies, which they say also reflect negatively on the former president's wife, according to Bloomberg.

The record of conservative Republican White House contender Marco Rubio, the son of Cuban immigrants, compares favorably to Clinton's, for example, argued Brent Wilkes, the national executive director of the League of United Latin American Citizens.

Bill Clinton signed off on "some of the worst anti-immigrant legislation in a generation" in the 1990s, Wilkes claimed.
