Election 2016: Candidates Clinton And Trump On Immigration
Immigration and the presidential campaign. We’ll look at realities, proposals and the future face of the country.
Immigration was the very first political issue for Donald Trump. From birtherism, to attacks on Mexicans, to “build the wall” and send 11 million home. For Hillary Clinton, it’s more a process issue. Keep families together. Tighten the border. Work through it. In less than two weeks now, voters will decide. It’s hard to avoid the immigration issue. It goes to how people picture this country. This hour On Point, immigration, and the choice on the table in the 2016 campaign. — Tom Ashbrook
