that was the point that hillary clinton made today. i wanted to ask you about donald trump because hillary clinton is going to la rossa today to speak to kansas city to one of the largest hispanic-american groups. donald trump is getting large audiences, a lot of residents. despite criticism by people like john mccain and lindsey graham about what he s doing to the republican party there seems to be a court that he is striking with a lot of americans. and a lot of people are being reluctant to krit sim him. hillary clinton has. in the past they ve been friends and associates, have done projects together. what is she now say about the tone and the rhetoric of donald trump? well, first of all, andrea nobody was quicker out of the gate than hillary clinton to condemn the remarks that donald trump made. and it took almost a full two weeks to see members of the republican field gather the courage to challenge him for those unacceptable completely heinous remarks.
i think you re right that secretary clinton will be traveling to speak to la rossa today. i don t think he will see any he d hesitation, i think for the fout or fifth time condemn donald trump. the question is why did it take republicans to get off the sidelines to do the same. the deeper question will continue to be relevant for the course of this campaign is is really no bottom line difference between the immigration proposals that donald trump is advancing and those of the rest of the republican field. a person almost to a person they support a second class status at best for the undocumented workers that are in the country currently. hillary clinton said today that passing comprehensive immigration reform is a key needed step to achieve that growth figure that everybody wants to talk about, but to achieve it in a way that where the prosperity will be shared and then comes lift it up across the board. brian fallon thank you so much. hope to see you in new hampshire on thursday.
could reverse that trend. i got more hispanic votes in my re-election effort than i got white votes. how many people can make that claim? and i can make it based on reality. we re still working on fact checking that claim. but while the rest of the gop is going right on immigration, jeb bush wants to go in a different direction. the big question will that last in a republican primary? joining me now, clarissa martinez decastro, deputy vice president for the national counsel of la rossa, and msnbc contributor, victoria defrancesco soto. thank you both for being here. thank you. thank you, rev. clarissa, what do you make of jeb bush s comments, criticizing others in his party who have abandoned immigration reform? well more to the substance
federation, the hispanic caucus, the national organization of la rossa, his first responsible would be to solve this immigration problem and on univision he can t do anything unilaterally and congress a fighting against him and whacky policy to impact 800,000 undocumented workers or 800,000 people who are here, not through a fault of their own, he s not solving a problem, he s putting a little bandaid over it. i have a question regarding timing, and the fact that this is an issue that s extremely important to this group of immigrant, but any immigrant really. why are we talking about it, really, only now. to me, it s also a national security issue and you have very important key border states that will come out and vote and both candidates want them. president obama has been there more than three years, why wasn t this more of a priority as republicans say it should have been? well, i think the president walked into the biggest economic mess that we ve seen
exchange of ideas goes next. trace gallagher is live in our west coast newsroom, he s reaction to this out of arizona, the hot spot in the illegal immigration debate. trace, we talked earlier this week on this show about a dozen senators who have been writing letters to ice about this, demanding to know whether, in fact, there is perhaps a plan for amnesty in the works and they have been ignored and now we see the memo. well, you talk about people want to go dot their is and cross their ts, megyn, we started working on reaction to this story 3 1/2 hours ago, 10:00 in the west, so at 6:30 in the morning, we were waking up state leaders in arizona, e-mailing this, they re looking for reaction on this thing, everybody is being very cautious now in getting back to us. we began with those who were against sb1070, groups like la rossa, they called us back saying they want to study this memo to find out what the possibilities this in and around congress could be, then we went to the
