Martin
O’Malley, a progressive Democrat who has been trying to run to the left
of Hillary Clinton, won applause during Saturday night’s Democratic
presidential debate
in Iowa by referring to Republican Donald Trump as an
“immigrant-bashing carnival barker”. One topic that got former governor
Martin O’Malley specifically riled up was immigration reform, and he was
quick to reveal that he doesn’t have anything nice to say
about republican candidate Donald Trump.
The
former Maryland governor noted that net immigration from Mexico
previous year was zero, after drawing a distinction between border
security and a comprehensive immigration
policy. “Go ahead, check it out”. His visit, organized by America’s
Voice, United We Dream Action and the Center for Community Change
Action/Fair Immigration Reform Movement, came just days after a federal
court blocked deferred action programs.
He
said Clinton has played a “sort of cynical game, where you say one
thing to one crowd and use the term ‘illegal immigrants, ‘ and then turn
around to another crowd
and switch your messaging and talk about ‘new Americans.’ I always say
‘new Americans, ‘ O’Malley said”.
O’Malley also says his Democratic opponents haven’t gone far enough to address the issue of immigration.
During
and after the meal, which O’Malley said was the best he’d had on the
campaign trail, he tried to distinguished himself as the most
compassionate candidate when
it comes to immigration reform.
Martin O’Malley (D).
On
Thursday, O’Malley went beyond the rhetoric, becoming the first
presidential hopeful to accept the #DAPAdinner initiative“s open
invitation encouraging candidates to
break bread-or, in this case, chilaquiles and frijoles-with partially
undocumented immigrant families”.
