Hispanic Chamber will include Donald Trump in presidential Q&A

Despite strongly disagreeing with presidential candidate Donald Trump's stance on immigration, the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (USHCC) said earlier this week that it will still include him in its presidential candidate Q&A session on Oct. 8. 

Currently the leading candidate for the Republican party's 2016 presidential nomination, Trump has promised  if elected that he'll build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border and deport the 11 million illegal immigrants already in the United States, including their U.S. citizen children. 

"Following our private meeting with Donald Trump, the USHCC has continued to urge Mr. Trump's campaign to adopt our association's views on immigration, which uses a fact-based, economically sound approach to what has often been a divisive, emotionally charged issue," the USHCC said in a statement released on Monday. "We believe immigration reform is an economic imperative, necessary for the continued well-being of our nation."

The USHCC has asked Trump to explain his views to its members on a wide array of issues, including the economy, small business, jobs, American competitiveness and the importance of passing sensible immigration reform.

"While we still strongly disagree with Mr. Trump on various issues, we want our members and the community at large to form their own opinions following the Q &A," the USHCC said. "Our ultimate objective is to continue to impress upon Mr. Trump, and all candidates, the concerns of our constituents, and to promote policies that afford all Hispanics the dignity and opportunity to attain the American dream.
