undocumented immigrants who were brought to the United States as children and went to school
here.
o Undocumented-not recorded in or proved by documents.

The Republican presidential nominee on Wednesday re-upped the harsh immigration

rhetoric that electrified his primary campaign, vowing "no amnesty" for undocumented migrants
living in the United States and promising to build a "beautiful" and "impenetrable" border wall
that Mexico would pay for -- hours after that country's president vowed that it wouldn't.
Still, adding to the uncertainty that has clouded his immigration plan in recent days, Trump did
not give a definitive answer about what he would do with most of the 11 million undocumented
people who are not criminals, leaving open the possibility they would have to continue to hide in
the shadows. He vowed that any undocumented immigrants who are caught crossing into the US
will be "detained until they are removed from our country" and sent back to their country of
origin. And he promised to repeal President Barack Obama's executive orders shielding some
younger undocumented people, including those born in the United States -- so called Dreamers,
from deportation.
 Trump left the fate of most of the 11 million undocumented people who are not criminals
in the country murky.
He did not commit to deporting every undocumented immigrant living in the US as he
previously had, but vowed that immigrants living in the US illegally would never have a path to
legal status under his presidency.As he painted a picture of a country besieged by "illegal alien"
crime, Trump accused Washington politicians and the media of underplaying the dangers posed
by illegal immigration and warned voters that the stakes this election will never be
higher.Trump's hard-line speech contrasted strikingly with his more moderate tone in Mexico
City hours earlier when he put on a restrained and respectful performance, even as he publicly
disagreed with President Enrique Pea Nieto, who had invited him and Democratic nominee
Hillary Clinton to Mexico for talks. Trump's campaign will likely be pleased that he got a
photo-op with a foreign leader and appeared to avoid any damaging gaffes as he stood soberly on
stage, beside an interpreter.
Trump had told reporters that he and his host did not discuss the cost of who would pay
for the multibillion-dollar project -- a statement that the Mexican president did not contest while
alongside Trump."At the start of the conversation with Donald Trump, I made it clear that
Mexico will not pay for the wall," Pea Nieto tweeted.The Clinton campaign also argued that
Trump's performance in Mexico proved that his tough guy image was just an act."Donald Trump
has made his outlandish policy of forcing Mexico to pay for his giant wall the centerpiece of his
campaign. But at the first opportunity to make good on his offensive campaign promises, Trump
choked," Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta said in a statement. "What we saw today
from a man who claims to be the ultimate 'deal maker' is that he doesn't have the courage to
advocate for his campaign promises when he's not in front of a friendly crowd," Podesta said,
before accusing Trump of wanting to build a costly wall at American taxpayers' expense.

I think it's stupid how trumps doesnt want mexican in the united states. We are suppose to be
equal, but i dont see nothing equal about sending the mexicans back to mexico because he
doesnt want them here. Mexicans are human being too they are not aliens.

U.S. views of Latin Americans of all different nationalities and backgrounds have long been
permeated with much of the same racism that fueled segregation between black and whites. In
the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, thousands of Mexicans were murdered by lynch
mobs. Trump is bringing back segregation but this time its with U.S. citizens and Mexicans. He
is making the Mexican look like they are bad people.

This is relate to political structure, it involves the president and his actions and the government.
It is involving the political system and how they dont want people from out of the country that
dont have their legal documents.
1. Why doesnt trump like Mexicans?
2. Why cant everyone be treated equal?
3. Does he really think all Mexicans are bad people?
4. Do you think Trump will change his ways of viewing Mexicans?
