With the immigration issue dominating headlines
on the Republican side of the 2016 presidential race, Hillary Clinton's
campaign is touting its "strong support" from the Latino community in a
memo obtained exclusively by NBC News.
The Democratic front-runner's campaign condemns
what it calls Donald Trump's "hateful rhetoric" aimed at undocumented
immigrants and points to poll numbers indicating Clinton would "trounce"
Trump in a general election contest among Latino voters (69 percent to
22 percent, according to an MSNBC/Telemundo/Marist poll).
The memo, titled "Winning the Latino Vote," does
not mention any other Republican by name, but does draw stark
comparisons between Trump and Clinton's commitment to comprehensive
immigration reform.
"In the face of a Republican party that
threatens to tear apart immigrant families who live in fear of
deportation due to Congress' inaction, Clinton has promised that she
will do everything possible under the law to expand and enhance
protections for families and communities hurt by our broken immigration
system," the letter states.
