Donald Trump says Hillary Clinton would create 'totally open borders'

Fact-checking Donald Trump's anti-Clinton speech in New York






Donald Trump hammered Hillary Clinton’s character, judgment and policy record in a speech the day after Clinton made the case that Trump would be a disaster for the economy.

While Donald Trump vows to build a wall between the United States and Mexico to keep undocumented immigrants out, he says Hillary Clinton has the opposite approach.

"She’s pledged to grant mass amnesty, and in her first 100 days, end virtually all immigration enforcement and thus create totally open borders for the United States, totally open borders," Trump said in a June 22 speech..................



Clinton has praised work already done to secure the border, and she said she supported a 2013 bill that would have invested billions more in border security while creating a path to citizenship for some undocumented immigrants. Her plan calls for protecting the border and targeting deportation to criminals and security threats. Her plan would make it easier for many undocumented immigrants to avoid deportation, but that’s not the same as ending all enforcement.

We rate this claim False.

1. Trump continues to play to his hate base. He is not gaining votes and these

Haters will still vote for the lies.

2. One of the things that thrilled me today was some of the media actually doing their job.

Watching msnbc and the anchor actually brought up it was a lie. What do you know they may have figured out they are supposed to be on a news show. Not a propaganda arm. Now if they will stick to it.

5. It's as if the M$M found it too tiresome to call out all the lies

So they just decided to report what he said - and not correct the record. It's about time they did their job - but I'm skeptical they will bother to keep it up.

Time will tell.
