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.

(3,089 posts)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.

(24,401 posts)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.

(10,014 posts)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.

(92,552 posts)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, theres Trumps 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 hes 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 hes also embraced it as a way of keeping brain power in this country. Hes criticized guest workers but also uses them in his club, Mar a Lago, in Florida.
Hillary Clinton
Theres a Rio Grande sized gap between Clinton and Trump on immigration issues, Goldsmith said. In the first 100 days of Trumps administration, he says hes going to have the wall designed. In the first 100 days of Hillary Clintons 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.
