"Just because they're Mexican, it doesn't mean that they came over here to sell drugs or kill people." Since announcing his bid for the Republican nomination last month, Trump has faced the fury of Latinos and the cancellation of major business deals after he accused Mexico of sending rapists and other criminals to the United States. |
