NEW YORK–(ENEWSPF)–August 31, 2016. Today, Hillary for America is launching a new video on social media called “Ink Blots” that paints a vivid picture of Donald Trump’s immigration policy in his own words. From the first days of his campaign, Donald Trump has called Mexicans “rapists” and criminals and has promised to deport 16 million people, including children and U.S. citizens born here to undocumented parents. Make no mistake: Trump will always be Trump, and he is the same today as he was on the first day of his presidential campaign.
Neither a foreign trip nor a “softening” of rhetoric can change the fact that Donald Trump has a proven record of hateful comments about immigrants and dangerous policies.

TRUMP: “You know if you back to the early 1950s, Dwight Eisenhower… he moved out 1.5 million people and brought them back to where they came from. They were here illegally.

TRUMP: “On immigration, we will temporarily suspend immigration from any place where adequate screening cannot be performed. Extreme vetting. Remember. Extreme vetting.
