An aide to Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton promised that the former first lady would expand President Barack Obama's executive actions on immigration if she is elected as the next Commander-in-Chief.

While speaking on a panel hosted by Politico Friday night, Clinton's campaign manager Robby Mook for the first time discussed Clinton's stance on immigration in comparison to President Obama.

She "is advocating for going even further than President Obama on immigration, to stop deporting the parents of these DREAMers who are contributing to our economy, and are valuable members of our society," said Mook during the panel, which was held at New York University in Manhattan.

"Specifically in the policy that she was proposing, she wanted to make it easier for families to appeal some of these deportation decisions, parents of DREAMers who might be facing deportation," said Mook explaining the policy differences between Obama and the former Secretary of State.

Last month, the Democratic presidential frontrunner promised to support a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants living in the U.S.

"We can't wait any longer for a path to full and equal citizenship," she said on May 5 while speaking to "DREAMers," young undocumented immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children.

Following her bold statement about providing DREAMers with a pathway to citizenship, Clinton then declared full support for giving certain undocumented young people the opportunity to join the military.

"If these courageous young men and women want to serve, they should be honored and celebrated, not discriminated against," said Clinton's national political director, Amanda Renteria, according to The Huffington Post. "Hillary Clinton is committed to comprehensive immigration reform to strengthen families and our country. While we keep up the pressure for comprehensive action, allowing Dreamers to serve in the military is the right step forward."
