LULAC CALLS DESPICABLE NAZI-SPEAK TRUMP REFERENCE TO MIGRANTS POISONING AMERICA'S
BLOOD
=================================================================================
Nation's Oldest and Largest Latino Civil Rights Organization Slams Use of
Generalizations Against Mostly Hispanic Asylum Seekers
Washington, DC — The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), the
nation's oldest and largest Latino civil rights organization, is deeply concerned
by recent remarks made by former President Donald Trump regarding migrants
seeking asylum in the United States. In a disturbing interview with the National
Pulse, Trump employed rhetoric reminiscent of Adolf Hitler's Nazi regime, making
sweeping generalizations about migrants and resorting to inflammatory language.
Trump's comments during the interview are a cause for serious concern. He stated,
"Nobody has any idea where these people are coming from, and we know they come
from prisons. We know they come from mental institutions and insane asylums. We
know they're terrorists. Nobody has ever seen anything like what we're witnessing
right now. It is a very sad thing for our country. It's poisoning the blood of
our country."
LULAC National President Domingo Garcia alerted all Americans, stating, "LULAC
warns every American that Donald Trump's words and actions unleash unprecedented
hatred towards desperate, mostly Latino asylum seekers he is targeting for
political gain. LULAC holds Trump and his supporters personally responsible for
the consequences of his words and actions. Using the words 'blood poisoning' is
deliberately calculated to create fear and scapegoat Christian refugees. His use
of Nazi code speak is gutter politics unworthy of a presidential candidate."
With their overtly divisive and prejudiced undertones, Trump's words bear an
alarming resemblance to the phrasing used by Adolf Hitler during Germany's Third
Reich, where he accused Jewish people and migrants of 'causing a blood poisoning'
of Germany. Such language is not only dangerous but also morally reprehensible.
LULAC National Vice-President Ray Mancera added, "LULAC is still on the front
line of the fight for lawful immigration, and we vehemently oppose Mr. Trump's
incendiary language. Mexicanos are the largest Latino community in the U.S.,
adding $2 trillion to the nation's economy. We are overrepresented in every
critical category of our nation's labor force: construction, agriculture,
manufacturing, and service industries. Yet, even in the face of these facts,
Trump lies and refers to these hard-working men and women as poisoning America's
blood — criminals, mentally insane, and even terrorists! LULAC tells Mr. Trump:
Stop the lies. Stop trying to divide our country again, and for heaven's sake,
stop your hate against our people."
LULAC continues to advocate for humane and fair immigration policies that respect
the dignity and rights of all individuals. Our organization fights
discrimination, prejudice, and harmful rhetoric against the Hispanic and Latino
communities. We call on all Americans to reject such divisive language and
support a just and inclusive society.
