Washington, DC – GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump has reportedly delayed his previously scheduled campaign speech focused on immigration. The candidate has a “long, winding history” of proposing inhumane deportation practices, and has used various debunked and baseless myths about Latinos and immigrants rather than propose substantive policy. César Blanco, Latino Victory interim director, issued the following statement in regards to Trump delaying his immigration speech:
“It’s no surprise that Trump has postponed his immigration speech. He’s shown time and time again how little he values and respects the lives of immigrants and Latinos across the country. Whether it’s hiring a nativist Breitbart executive to advise him, avoiding and attacking Hispanic media, ignoring invitations from major Hispanic advocacy organizations, or just plain calling us rapists and murderers, the GOP’s presidential candidate has done a remarkable job of finding endless ways to offend our community. We won’t be fooled by Trump’s thinly veiled and convenient Hispandering on display this past weekend. Surely, Trump is just buying himself some time, cooking up some new ways to try and deceive our community into thinking that he’s changing his tone, and policies, when we all know that he’s nothing but a racist and a bigot who is only interested in attacking and hurting us.”
