Donald Trump’s Statement Triggers Debate over Border Control
Latino advocates said on Friday that the American business magnate Donald Trump is not doing any favor to the Republican Party, and his fellow GOP candidates are increasing the damage as they are too slow to condemn him.
Felix Sanchez, chairman of the National Hispanic Foundation for the Arts, said in a statement that the comments made by the real estate tycoon are causing irreparable harm to the brand.
The billionaire candidate triggered the debate over the border control into overdrive by calling some Mexican immigrants as 'rapists' and 'killers' and drug dealers to the United States.
He crossed the levels on Friday after Kate Steinle, 32, was shot to death on a San Francisco pier by a man who had been deported five times and has seven felony convictions.
Trump said, "This senseless and totally preventable act of violence committed by an illegal immigrant is yet another example of why we must secure our border immediately. This is an absolutely disgraceful situation and I am only one that can fix it".
Hispanics Across America Chairman Fernando Mateo stated that a failure to slam Trump mighty lead to backfiring the GOP.
Mateo said anyone who has not denounced Trump's position is weak and does not deserve any support from Hispanic during the election time. Mateo called trump as a frustrated attention-seeker.
Trump in some early surveys boasted of his success. His Friday's tweets read, Huffington Post stated him as number one in the Polls of Republican candidates. Further in his tweets, he thanked and said it is just the beginning.
