US Presidential Hopeful Donald Trum |
US Presidential Hopeful Donald Trump Speaks Out Against Undocumental Immigrants

Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump met in Los Angeles on Friday with families whose loved ones were killed by undocumented immigrants, saying US immigration policy has allowed criminals from other countries to find sanctuary in American borders.
"People came into the country illegally and killed their children," Mr Trump said at a press conference at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel on Friday. "It's a very sad thing that's happened to our country."
The real estate mogul has been under a firestorm of controversy following his June 16 announcement that he would seek the Republican nomination for the 2016 Presidential election.

During his speech, Mr Trump vented about illegal immigrants, claiming that many of the people crossing the border from Mexico are criminals and rapists.
During Friday's event, five people who said their loved ones were killed by undocumented immigrants stood with Mr Trump.
They held up pictures with details of their deceased family members, saying the United States' immigration system allowed the assailants to enter the country illegally, and then got away with little to no jail time.
"All I was hearing was 'Well, these people work, they contribute, they have to take their kids to school,'" said Don Rosenberg, whose son was fatally hit by a car driven by an undocumented immigrant.
