This is going to be an issue in the upcoming election. A pretty big one.
The protester, from United We Dream Action, was protesting private-prison corporations' donations to Clinton's campaign.
Juan Carlos Ramos issued a statement through United We Dream about why he protested.
Our message to Hillary Clinton is simple: immigrant youth do not trust you. It is time to drop the prison money and stand with our community you cant have it both ways, he said. Each dollar of private prison money accepted by the Clinton campaign undermines her pro-immigrant policy promises, and our community will not be fooled.
Each time Hillary Clinton addresses a Latino audience she gives the same empty promises she wont and cant keep, just like President Obama," Ruth Guerra, the Director of Hispanic Media at the Republican National Committee, said in a statement following the event. "Just this week Hillary flip-flopped on several issues including immigration and free trade, reinforcing that she will do or say anything to get elected. http://www.politico.com/story/2015/10/clinton-heckled-hispanic-caucus-gala-214592#ixzz3oHJLu2kr
