HOUSTON ��Donald Trump said thousands of criminals who are undocumented immigrants or have overstayed their entry visas are putting the nation at risk, and said Democrat Hillary Clinton's immigration plan would create "grave peril."
"Hillary Clinton is the first person to ever run for the presidency of a country effectively proposing to abolish the borders around that country," the Republican presidential candidate said in Houston at an event held by the Remembrance Project, a nonprofit group that advocates for families whose loved ones were killed by undocumented immigrants.
Trump said Clinton wants to "give lifetime welfare and entitlements to illegal immigrants." Members of the group joined him onstage.
According to the plan described on her website. Clinton would introduce "comprehensive immigration reform," including a pathway to "full and equal" citizenship for many undocumented immigrants. The plan also calls for detaining and deporting "individuals who pose a violent threat to public safety."
Trump has made cracking down on in illegal immigrants a cornerstone of his campaign. He's said repeatedly that he plans to build a wall along the U.S. border with Mexico, and make Mexico pay for it. During his campaign he has labeled some Mexican immigrants "rapists."
