After Trump finished addressing a small crowd inside the warehouse of a women\u2019s cosmetics company, members of the roundtable spoke. Trujillo began by telling his personal story, how his mother brought him and his brothers from northern Mexico to Utah in 1995 to rejoin their father, who was working in construction.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe came here legally, but you know, we overstayed, and we were able to make life here in the United States,\u201d Trujillo said, referring to the action of entering the U.S. on a legal visa but not departing when that visa expires. <\/p>\n<p>At least one person in the audience began laughing and applauding, leading Trujillo to laugh and acknowledge, \u201cIt is funny.\u201d Trump smiled as he looked at Trujillo.<\/p>\n<p>The moment highlighted the contradictory ways the facts and rhetoric of <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/immigration\">immigration<\/a><\/span> play in the campaign. The paradoxes are sharper as Trump has simultaneously counted on increased support from Latinos returning him to the White House even as he has centered his campaign on a dark view of immigration.<\/p>\n<p>Trump has said migrants are \u201cpoisoning the blood\u201d of the country, called the recent influx across the southern border an \u201cinvasion\u201d and pledged to launch mass deportations if he returns to the White House. <\/p>\n<p>The day before his Las Vegas roundtable, Trump was in Aurora, Colorado, darkly warning that a Venezuelan gang is terrorizing a city of 400,000 that has become a magnet for migrants from that country. The city\u2019s Republican mayor said Trump is distorting an isolated problem in the city.<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday, Trump launched his usual criticisms of border policy before pivoting to general praises of the demographic he was courting. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHispanic people \u2014 they say you can\u2019t generalize, but I think you can \u2014 they have wonderful entrepreneurship and they have \u2014 oh, do you have such energy. Just ease up a little bit, OK? Ease up,\u201d Trump said. \u201cYou have great ambition, you have great energy, very smart, and you really do, like natural entrepreneurs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After the Las Vegas event, Trump headed to Coachella, California, and accused Harris of having \u201cimported an army of illegal alien gang members and migrant criminals from the dungeons of the Third World.\u201d There is no evidence to support Trump\u2019s claims.<\/p>\n<p>Trump has usually smoothed over any apparent conflict between his warnings on immigration and his support from Latino voters since 2016, when he kicked off his first run by warning of \u201crapists\u201d crossing the southern border. Many Hispanic voters entered the country legally \u2014 or have roots in the U.S. going back generations \u2014 and oppose illegal immigration. <\/p>\n<p>The former president and Republican nominee has argued his economic and immigration policies would help Latinos and other minorities, often <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/trump-biden-harris-employment-jobs-economy-immigration-db0bdbc6a029068389b31d8d148b9d3a\">suggesting contrary to economic data<\/a><\/span> that immigrants are taking what he calls \u201cBlack jobs\u201d and \u201cHispanic jobs.\u201d Around 8 in 10 Hispanic voters say the economy is \u201cone of the most important issues\u201d during this election season, according to a recent Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Opinion Research poll. <\/p>\n<p>Overall, Hispanic voters are about equally likely to say they have a favorable view of Trump and Vice President <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/kamala-harris\">Kamala Harris<\/a><\/span>, Trump\u2019s Democratic opponent.

Likewise, Trujillo has been a U.S. citizen since 2011.<\/p>\n<p>He said he has come to understand Trump\u2019s vocal opposition to those entering the country illegally due to concerns about drug and sex trafficking.<\/p>\n<p>But, unprompted, Trujillo said he supports a way for people in the country illegally to obtain legal status, specifically people who have been working and following the law.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI mean, not an easy pathway, perhaps,\u201d he said. \u201cBut there should be a pathway for the ones that are already here illegally, but who have created a life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That proposal has been a hallmark of immigration reform policies for decades. Labeled as \u201camnesty\u201d by immigration hardliners, opposition to letting people who lived in the country illegally become citizens is part of what led to Trump\u2019s political rise.<\/p>\n<h2>___<\/h2>\n<p>Riccardi reported from Denver.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script>\n  window.fbAsyncInit = function() {\n      FB.init({\n              appId : '870613919693099',\n          xfbml : true,\n          version : 'v2.9'\n      });\n  };\n  (function(d, s, id){\n     var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\n     if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;}\n     js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;\n     js.src = \"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js\";\n     fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\n   }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/trump-nevada-immigration-illegal-2bcf575aba570c3c9526f8faf4378c32\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LAS VEGAS (AP) \u2014 Minutes after Donald Trump delivered his standard warnings about drug dealers and criminals illegally crossing the border during a Saturday campaign event, the former president heard &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=113611\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8629],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-113611","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-u-s","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113611","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=113611"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113611\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=113611"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=113611"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=113611"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
