La Raza witholding speaking invites from Trump and Clinton

A leading immigrant advocacy group has declined to invite Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton to its annual conference next month, despite extending invitations to presidential candidates in previous election years.

Janet Murguia, president of the National Council of La Raza, said in a statement Wednesday that the group is blacklisting Trump from speaking at its conference because of his “concerted effort to denigrate and demonize not just immigrants, but the entire 55 million-plus Latinos in this country.”
