Spanish singer criticises anti-immigrant comments by US presidential hopeful, and apologises to clowns for comparison
The Spanish singer Julio Iglesias has said he will no longer perform in casinos belonging to Donald Trump because of anti-immigrant comments by the US presidential hopeful.
“I have sung many times in his casinos, but I won’t do it again. He seems to be an asshole,” Iglesias told the Barcelona-based daily newspaper La Vanguardia. “He thinks he can fix the world forgetting what immigrants have done for his country. He is a clown! And my apologies to clowns.”
In June, Trump said in a speech that some Mexican immigrants brought drugs and crime to the United States, and some were rapists. He has called for the mass deportation of illegal immigrants.

He never was much of an act, at least not worth paying money for.

Hey Julio, let me clue you in on something. There is only one country that Mexico hates more than the USA, that is Spain.
To: bob_denard
So, if Trump won’t preach amnesty and open borders, Wholeo won’t sing in Trump’s casinos?

...forgetting what immigrants have done for his country. Hey! Stupid! He's not saying that at all. What he is saying that those who have made contribution did so as legal immigrants who assimilated into our culture. It's the illegal immigrants that he, and a lot of the rest of us, are pissed off about. So sit down and shut up, Paco, and don't let the casino door hit you in the ass on your way out.
