Undocumented Immigrants Given Roles at Democratic Convention
Published July 22, 2016 Reuters
The Democratic Party has selected a handful of undocumented immigrants for official roles at next week's Democratic National Convention, in a bid to highlight the gaping policy divide on immigration between White House hopeful Hillary Clinton and Republican rival Donald Trump.
Clinton is hoping to drive Latino voters to the polls on Nov. 8 to shore up her chances against Trump, who has campaigned on a promise to crack down on illegal immigration by building a wall along the Mexican border and deporting millions of undocumented foreigners if elected.
"Our nation is a nation of immigrants that believes in being inclusive, and that’s exactly what we will continue to work toward," said Leah Daughtry, the chief executive officer of the committee organizing the July 25-28 convention in Philadelphia.
"The voices of our nation’s brave undocumented youth will be heard loud and clear,” Daughtry added.
