Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton woo Christian Hispanics through video messages

Giving the two probable presidential candidates a chance to address its members, the organizers of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference allowed Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump to speak to them through recorded video messages.

In her video shown at the event, held Friday in Anaheim, California, Clinton first made mention of her faith and how the lessons she "learned from my family and church guide me every day of this campaign." She then discussed about raising the minimum wage, creating new jobs, and giving quality education for everyone. She also mentioned her plans of passing a comprehensive immigration reform in order to "keep families together."

"You know, we're hearing some divisive and dangerous rhetoric in this election," Clinton said. "We have a candidate who wants to tear families apart and forcibly deport 11 million undocumented immigrants -- who calls Mexicans rapists, who talks about banning Muslims from entering the country -- that is not who we are as a people."

While not mentioning Trump by name, Clinton was referring to her competitor's plans in terms of migrants.

According a new poll by Fox News Latino, Cinton enjoys a lead of 39 points. Sixty-two percent of respondents said that they would vote for her while 23 percent would vote for Trump. 

Trump, meanwhile, needs to work hard to win the Latino population's trust. His immigration reform platform says that, among other things, "a nation with borders is not a nation." He wants a wall to be built along the U.S.-Mexico border, and the Mexican government should help pay for the cost.

In his video showed at the NHCLC, he said that he intends to create good schools and safe communities, and he would bring back jobs.

"The world is taking our jobs and we've got to stop it," Trump said. "We're going to take care of minority unemployment. It's a huge problem, it's really unfair to minorities, and we are going to solve that problem."

He promised to cut taxes, especially for the middle class, and poor people would be paying nothing. He also said that making great trade deals is important. Moreover, drugs need to be stopped getting into the U.S.

"We're going to strengthen our borders," he said in the 2 1/2-minute video. "People are going to come into our country but they're going to come in through a process. They'll come in legally, but we're going to stop the drugs."

He also emphasized that he intends to curb the debt of the country, amounting to $19 trillion, set to go up to $21 trillion soon.

While he did not make mention of his plans to build a wall, he intimated that Hispanics are going to benefit if he wins because he's going to unify the country for the first time in a long time.

"National. Hispanic. Christians. Three great words," he said. "We're going to take care of you, we're going to work with you, you're going to be very happy, you're going to like President Trump."

The non-partisan evangelical Christian group, according to CNN, represents around 40,000 churches in the U.S., an increasingly huge voting bloc. The organization's chair Carlos Campo, however, said that they will not endorse a candidate this coming elections.
