Vivianna Rodriguez cannot wait for Donald Trump's speech Friday night in Mobile, Alabama.
"I was shocked when I heard that he was coming to Mobile. But I was very excited [as well]. Not because he was speaking, but because we're going to do something about it," she said.
Vivianna is a 24 year-old senior at the University of South Alabama —whose football stadium will host Trump on Friday— and she is an American-born daughter of a single-parent undocumented Mexican immigrant.
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has referred to those with her background as "anchor babies."
It's those types of comments that have outraged Vivianna and parts of her college community and energized them to take action.
"Now he wants to take birth citizenship away from me, calling me an anchor baby?" she said. "To go to that extent just so that I won't have my citizenship here when I was born here? This is the only country that I know, and then to call me not an American?"
The young Mexican-American activist told NBC News that she is now "hyped," to organize other students from the University of South Alabama. She threw a party Thursday night to make signs and commit to "making a presence" at the school's Ladd-Peebles Stadium Friday.
"You're not just going to walk into Mobile and think we're not going to have anything to do about it."(continued)

Wonder if she gets FREE tuition due to her victim status? And then she’ll be paying for others. (Why does that just stick in my craw?).
True, but Trump is a pure and brash New Yorker all the way.
I tell you a lil story i live in So Cal after 911 we all had our American flags out the Mexicans put out their Mexican flags it was sickening
Rather one of those than a snooty Connecticut skull & bones type.
The American Center For Immigration Justice (ACIJ)
Is that the new name for the Court doing the deportations?
I love that Trump circled the field several times. Just hysterical. :-)
somehow I knew the name of the anti-immigration “activist” was not Smith ...
[Tuition being paid for by?]
For one Mark Zuckerburg.
Make it retroactive for the whiners.
I am not surprised. The sooner we rid ourselves of these roaches the better off our country will be.

Some 35,000 folks.
I pray and hope they protest. The more they attack Trump the stronger he becomes.
NBC reported the stadium to be “about half full”
The stadium as far as I can tell was near full.
Sounds like the only thing that was full was NBC - full of bull.
Looks like she stayed home or was buried by the crowd.
