The Hill

Hillary
Clinton kept Republican frontrunner Donald Trump in her sights as she
appeared at a Chicago immigration workshop to thank the volunteers for
their work guiding people through the
immigration process.
"I
know some people are afraid by some things that they are hearing," she
told the group in Chicago's Pilsen neighborhood, a largely Hispanic
area.
"Love trumps hate."
Trump's
rivals have upped the criticism of his candidacy in light of protests
and violence that have broken out at his rallies over the past few days.
Trump's long faced criticism from Hispanic
groups for his controversial comments about Mexican immigrants.
Clinton
appeared with Rep. Luis Gutierrez, the Illinois Democrat who helped to
organize the volunteers, as well as Hispanic civil rights activist
Dolores Huerta and United Farm Workers president
Arturo Rodriguez. Clinton called to increase in fee waivers and
English-language teachers for those applying for citizenship programs.
While some in the audience were not yet American citizens, she made the pitch to those there to join her.
“I
will work very hard when I become president, if you join with others to
help me to become president, to be sure that we immediately begin
working for comprehensive immigration reform,"
she said.
Clinton's
appearance comes just one day before a slate of big Tuesday contests
that includes Illinois and its 156 pledged delegates. Hispanic and other
minority voters have supported her
in droves, so her campaign is likely hoping strong turnout among those
groups can help deliver a win on Tuesday.
