PHOENIX — Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, whose caustic comments about Mexican Americans have inflamed the debate over illegal immigration, is taking his tough-talk road show to this border state that has been the epicenter of the divisive national battle over reform.

Ignoring a plea from the Republican Party chairman to tone down his rhetoric, Trump plans to rally more than 9,000 supporters here in Phoenix on Saturday afternoon. Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who built a national profile with his aggressive efforts to hunt down and deport undocumented immigrants in the Phoenix area, will join him on stage.

In remarks at the downtown Phoenix Convention Center, Trump plans to renew his vow to build an impenetrable wall across the U.S.-Mexico border and to attack by name several Republican presidential candidates as weak on immigration, according to people with knowledge of Trump's plans.

The Trump event, hosted by the Maricopa County Republican Party, has invited a barrage of criticism -- from the city's Democratic leaders, local business executives and more mainstream Republican office holders, such as Arizona's two senators, John McCain and Jeff Flake, who believe his language about an issue as sensitive as immigration is far too explosive.

Trump won’t stop getting attention, while not really saying anything about immigration.

The Ministry Of Propganda is watching all their years of trying to convince Americans to give up their country without a fight going up in smoke.

I kind of like caustic...I think the press has finally met someone they cannot control....I love it...The legal immigrants also hate the illegals and for the most part want them gone.....Maybe Trump will start a second operation wet back....IKe had one in the 1950’s

Illegal “immigration” should be a major issue in the 2016 elections. JMO. It has to stop. It is out of control and we are paying millions of dollars per year for the government to defend our borders.

The rumor is that the count is now 15,000. The media won’t focus on them, just on the protestors financed by Soros/La Raza etc. with their pre-printed signs.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, whose caustic comments about Mexican Americans....

Correction - Mexicans illegally in America.

These presstitutes haven't figured out that the more they attack him, the higher he goes in the polls.

Could Jeb! Get 9000 people in one venue to cheer him on? Maybe if he paid them.

Trump is a joke

His mission is to take attention away from any real conservative in the primaries. Making Jeb a happy guy.

And its working!!

If he keeps talking about illegal immigration he will win, this is a hot button item with the American people that the political class has ignored for far to long.

caustic comments

Caustic!

His comments may be caustic, but they are resonating in flyover country. Even this venue had to be changed to accommodate MORE people who want to hear his caustic comments.

Both Democrats & Republicans are in full panic mode over Donald Trump successfully hitting the right note on the failed immigration policies of Obama, Democrats and Republicans!!!!

Every single person in Arizona, including Hispanics & African-Americans should turn out this afternoon to give full support and backing to Donald Trump!!!

Just remember...HIspanics and African-Americans....in almost eight years Obama has done nothing for you...but enslave you economically!!! You all surrender your freedom, your opportunity, your equality to low life vermin like Obama and his Obamabot Democrat party. Wise up....just continue to be used and abused!!! As for POTUS Candidates,,,,ya got Ted Cruz & Ben Carson, etc.
