Hillary Clinton Campaign Press Release - Trump Campaign Attempts to Mislead on Immigration Plan to Deport All Undocumented Immigrants

September 04, 2016

Hillary for America Campaign Manager Robby Mook released the following statement in reaction to attempts from Mike Pence and Kellyanne Conway to mask Trump's plan to deport 16 million people:

"Donald Trump has stated very clearly throughout his campaign that he will deport everyone who is undocumented, something that was reinforced in his speech in Arizona last Wednesday. Beyond forcibly removing every single undocumented person from this country, Trump has also promised to rescind DACA and DAPA, and deport American citizens who are born to undocumented immigrant parents. What we saw today is Mike Pence and Trump's top campaign officials attempt to mislead voters about their mass deportation policy by using soft words to describe harsh tactics – one of the oldest tricks in the book. Immigrant families know the meanings of 'humane' and 'fair' and can see straight through their cynical ploys. Trump's message to immigrant families is clear: everyone must go."
