Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Kaine stressed the importance of Hispanic voters and fair immigration policies in Orlando on Monday, part of a multi-day campaign swing through Florida.
The Virginia senator appeared at a roundtable discussion with Latino religious leaders at the Hispanic evangelical church...where he said the U.S. should not be a "deportation nation."
"We should be a nation of immigrants and a nation of laws," Kaine said. "Our focus shouldn't be on deportation en masse, it should be on people who pose serious safety challenges."
Kaine was introduced by Claudia Contreras, a 23-year-old undocumented immigrant...
Contreras is one of the beneficiaries of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals policy...which allows some undocumented immigrants...to get a renewable two-year work permit and be exempt from deportation...
"It could be taken away from me and many others," Contreras said, stressing the need for Hispanics and others to vote in Florida for Democrat Hillary Clinton...
"We need to build a community of respect, a community where all can be respected," Kaine said. "A nation where you can be respected no matter what your national origin, whatever language that you speak. ... We can solve any problem we have, if we let everybody sit at the table..."
The roundtable discussion, which included Florida U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson, was closed to the news media...
Later Monday, Kaine was heading to a LGBT presidential debate watch party at the Orchid Garden on Church Street downtown...
"If anybody ever says 'my vote doesn't matter,' I say, 'Can I tell you about Florida in 2000?'" Kaine said in Lakeland. "So we have to have that attitude [that] we're the underdog til they call us the winner."

Yeah! How about fairness to all those who have not cross the border?
Define “immigration fairness:”
he seems so swishy
he seems so swishy
let everybody sit at the table..... except Deplorables.
So, its only fair if every single person in Mecksicko can cross our border anywhere, anytime. No controls, no checking for transmittable diseases, regardless if they have any knowledge or skills or even the desire to acquire knowledge or skills that would produce a net benefit to the community rather than simply expanding their carbon footprint by an order of magnitude or two subsidised by the ever dwindling number of people who want to make the world a better place. Of course we can just cross the border into mexico and buy up property...oh wait we can’t
What allowing illegals to pour in, get free stuff and do whatever they want and hate on the natives isn’t fair enough???
Fairness championed by Leftists is code for “conquer”.
