Former president Donald Trump denigrated undocumented immigrants during a Sunday campaign stop in Nevada that marked the latest example of him ratcheting up anti-immigration rhetoric ahead of GOP presidential nominating contest, which will kick off next month.<\/p>\n
The front-runner of GOP nomination stoked fears about migrants coming in from the country\u2019s border with Mexico and pointed to examples of what he said was undocumented immigrants committing violent crimes in the States as he addressed a crowd of supporters in Reno.<\/p>\n
In Nevada, the state which is third on GOP nominating calendar and also has a large Latino population, the former president claimed that the migrants were invading the country from prisons and \u201cmental institutions\u201d of other countries. Trump also promised to execute the \u201clargest deportation operation in American history.\u201d<\/p>\n
In the final weeks, before the voting began, Trump is once again using the anti-immigrant card, the one which secured him nomination in 2016 \u2013 and facing backlash reminiscent of that campaign.<\/p>\n
His speech comes a day after he doubled down on language condemned for its tied to White House supremacist rhetoric.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
