LULAC AND ADL BLAST DONALD TRUMP'S USE OF NAZI-ERA LANGUAGE IN ANTI-IMMIGRANT
REMARKS
=============================================================================


Nation's Oldest and Largest Latino Civil Rights Organization Joins with
Anti-Defamation League in Historic Joint Statement

Washington, DC — The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) and the
Anti-Defamation League (ADL) jointly condemn the recent inflammatory and deeply
troubling anti-immigrant remarks made by former President Donald Trump during a
speech in Durham, New Hampshire [ [link removed] ] .
Trump stated, "They let — I think the real number is 15, 16 million people into
our country…. They’re poisoning the blood of our country. That’s what they’ve
done. They poison mental institutions and prisons all over the world, not just in
South America, not just to three or four countries that we think about, but all
over the world."

"Donald Trump's remarks in recent days accusing immigrants of ‘poisoning the
blood of America' are reminiscent of the language of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi
regime," said Domingo Garcia, LULAC national president. "Trump's words very
intentionally create hatred of the other and are nothing more than
fear-mongering. They play to the lowest and most sinister human emotions to
incite hatred and cause harm or worse to innocent men, women, and children. LULAC
urges all Americans, irrespective of party affiliation, to resoundingly denounce
and reject unequivocally this kind of hate speech. There can be no place within
our country for dividing people based on their genetics, appearance, culture,
color, or language," added Garcia.

Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League, added: "ADL will continue
to condemn anti-immigrant ideology and xenophobia. Such nativist talking points
have the potential to cause real danger and violence. We have seen this kind of
toxic rhetoric inspire real-world acts of violence in places like Pittsburgh and
El Paso. It should have no place in our politics, period. America is stronger as
a pluralistic society that welcomes immigrants."

Lydia Guzman, LULAC National Immigration Committee Chair, said, "Trump's
anti-immigrant speech is an attempt to dehumanize immigrants, as was historically
done to justify heinous acts against immigrants and others. Every American should
vehemently denounce this horrible language; it does not reflect the values of
this great nation of immigrants. These attacks on our community will serve to
mobilize the Latino vote."

LULAC and ADL call upon all Americans to reject hate speech and unite against
divisive rhetoric that threatens the fabric of our diverse and inclusive nation.

*As 501(c)(3) organizations, ADL and LULAC take no position in support of or in
opposition to any candidate for political office.
