Fox News Latino
October 15, 2015
The
first Democratic debate has drawn criticism for having paid little
attention to Latinos and immigration, but true to form, GOP presidential
frontrunner Donald Trump
made it a focus of his speech at a campaign rally on Wednesday.
Speaking
in Virginia, Trump slammed the albeit few references to immigration,
seizing on them as examples that the Democratic candidates, in his view,
want to give away
a plethora of things to undocumented immigrants.
Advocates
who favor more lenient immigration policies heckled the billionaire and
got into scuffles with his supporters, who reportedly grabbed the
hecklers’ signs. One
Trump supporter also spit on an opponent of the candidate, according to
USA Today. The advocates were escorted out by police.
“I
watched last night as Hillary [Clinton] and Bernie Sanders, they just
couldn’t give away things fast enough,” Trump said in an apparent
reference to the Democrats’
expression of support for affordable college and paid family leave,
according to USA Today. “And they’re giving them to illegal immigrants.
They want heath care for illegal immigrants. They want drivers' licenses
for illegal immigrants. They want, listen to
this, Social Security for illegal immigrants.”
Trump called Sanders a communist “maniac.”
He
added that the debate did not sufficiently press Clinton on such things
as the controversy over her handling of government emails while she was
Secretary of State,
or other issues.
He also took aim at her wavering position on the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade pact.
“I
have to hand it to Hillary Clinton. You’re all going to be mad at me,
but I have to hand it to her,” he said, according to USA Today. “It took
great courage for her
to go against President Obama on the trade pact. You know why? Because
she could be indicted.”
“Petraeus did 5 percent of what she did, and they destroyed his life,” Trump said.
When the hecklers tried to disrupt his speech, Trump said: “That’s all right. That’s why we have freedom of speech.”
He
said he would build a wall along the border with Mexico that is “going
to be something special,” and, he added, that Mexico would pay to have
it done.
He said that immigrants the U.S. does allow in will get to enter through “a big beautiful door right in the middle.”
