US 2016 ELECTIONSTrump launches new attack on immigrantsWASHINGTON: Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump launched new attacks on immigrants, including Filipinos, Thursday (Friday in Manila), telling supporters that Somalis and other refugees from “terrorist nations” should be barred entry to the United States. “Hillary Clinton wants to have them come in by the hundreds of thousands,” Trump warned, to a chorus of boos. “You would think that we want to be focusing on Hillary Clinton, on all of her deficiencies,” he added. Ryan said that he would continue to back Trump despite the swirling controversy over the family of soldier Humayun Khan. Trump pointed to the Somali immigrant population as an example of the “thousands” of refugees who have flooded into Maine and other US states and caused problems.
