Donald Trump: Jose Rivera and Mexican Immigrants

donald trump: We have seen here a rise in that type of response, the 'go home', the 'speak English here'. We don't want this kind of things, that kind of responses, that we never saw here in Newfoundland ever, said Jose Rivera, the organization's executive director, according to CBC. People are coming to us more and more with complaints that racism's happening. It's permeating. Rivera said he believes the election of Donald Trump, his comments about Mexican immigrants being rapists and murderers, and his calls to ban Muslims may not have changed people's minds in this province, but now they may feel it's more acceptable to express that view. U.S. president-elect Donald Trump and Mexico's President Enrique Pena Nieto shake hands at a press conference. What we see as the first impact is the empowerment of racism and discrimination because of what's happening in the United States, he said. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
