BORDER/IMMIGRATION: “The League of United Latin American Citizens and the Anti-Defamation League accused former President Donald Trump of pandering to ‘the lowest and most sinister human emotions’ after he told supporters migrants are ‘poisoning the blood of our country’ at a campaign rally over the weekend.
‘Donald Trump’s remarks in recent days accusing immigrants of ‘poisoning the blood of America’ are reminiscent of the language of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi regime,’ Domingo Garcia, national president of LULAC said in a statement Tuesday afternoon. ‘Trump’s words very intentionally create hatred of the other and are nothing more than fear-mongering. They play to the lowest and most sinister human emotions to incite hatred and cause harm or worse to innocent men, women, and children.'”
