Hordes of Sanders supporters disrupt Clinton event in LA

A group of Bernie Sanders supporters and other protesters disrupted an appearance by Hillary Clinton in southern California.

The Democratic presidential frontrunner was repeatedly interrupted Thursday as she spoke to a largely Latino crowd in Monterey Park, where Union del Barrio organized a protest against Clinton over her immigration policies and opposition to a national $15 hourly minimum wage, reported KNBC.

Clinton warned that Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, would create a “deportation force to round up millions of people” — but her opponents remained unconvinced by her message.

do better economically under Democratic Presidents. The economy always does better under Democratic Presidents. Wars are usually started under GOP Presidents. The stock market and Main Street does better under Democratic Presidents. Every depression and recession we have had has begun under GOP Presidents.

Not the first time. Trashing the PP, NARAL site, and any group or individual or group who endorsed Hillary, and they wonder why Sander's is losing, all they have to do is look in the mirror

Though there will always be "smart" kids who are far more stupid than the rest. Wait until the reality of voting for Trump sinks in.

Amazing that people who couldn't be bothered getting into politics before the advent of St Bernard think that their views somehow trump the views of people who have been politically active for decades.

I'm fine with advocacy groups protesting whoever they want, but not supporters of a losing candidate in the Democratic primary. My only hope is that enough people are turned off by this to make Sanders' support dwindle even more.

Donald Trump

Trump describes his position on immigration as “hardline.” And indeed it is the most restrictive position of any major presidential candidate in recent history, according to Goldsmith.

First, there’s Trump’s proposal for the 35-40 foot high wall that would cover 1,000 of the 2,000-mile southern border. (The US has already fenced about one-third of the border.) Trump says it would cost $8 billion; others have estimated that it could cost three times that much.

Second, he says he would round up and deport the approximately 11 million illegal immigrants in the US. “The good ones" will be brought back after they are deported, he has said. Trump has added that he’s going to keep families together, but Goldsmith notes that there are approximately 5 million U.S. citizen children with at least one undocumented parent.

Third, Trump has taken a variety of positions on guest workers and highly skilled immigrants. He has criticized the H1B program for costing Americans jobs but he’s also embraced it as a way of keeping brain power in this country. He’s criticized guest workers but also uses them in his club, Mar a Lago, in Florida.

Hillary Clinton

“There’s a Rio Grande sized gap between Clinton and Trump on immigration issues,” Goldsmith said. “In the first 100 days of Trump’s administration, he says he’s going to have the wall designed. In the first 100 days of Hillary Clinton’s administration, she says she is going to submit a plan to Congress for comprehensive immigration reform.”

Comprehensive reform essentially means that undocumented workers have a path to citizenship so long as they pay back taxes, pay a fine, pass a background check, and get to the back of the line behind those who have done the process legally, according to Goldsmith. It would also expand the number of foreign students, educated in the US, who are allowed to stay.

Both President George W. Bush and President Barack Obama failed to get comprehensive immigration reform through in 2007 and 2013, respectively. “Both failed at the hands of anti-trade Republicans and pro-labor Democrats,” Goldsmith said.

But Clinton plans for forge forward. And if the plan fails, Clinton plans to take executive action to protect illegal immigrants.
