Presidential hopeful Donald Trump has once again come in for a barrage of criticism as a result of his comments about immigration into the United States. This time, Trump has latched onto the tragic murder of tourist Kate Steinle who was shot and killed Wednesday at Pier 14 in San Francisco. Trump used the announcement of his presidential campaign to brand Mexican immigrants as "Criminals, drug runners and rapists." Trump's comments have been widely criticized as xenophobic and have led to his being dropped by NBC and Nascar amongst others.
On the day America celebrates its independence, Trump has once again hit the headlines. On this occasion, Trump has used the murder of Kate Steinle to call, once again, for tighter border controls. Trump has gone so far as to call for the U.S. to build a wall between the U.S. and Mexico to prevent illegal immigrants crossing the border. Trump took to Twitter to say that a wall was needed and that he is "the only candidate who would build it."
