Key Latino advocates for Republican nominee Donald Trump are withdrawing their support after his immigration speech on Wednesday evening in Phoenix, Arizona.

Trump laid out a strict plan on immigration saying he would deport the millions of undocumented immigrants currently in the United States. He added that there will be no amnesty for those who are in the country illegally.

“Anyone who has entered the United States illegally is subject to deportation, that is what it means to have laws and to have a country,” said Trump. “Otherwise we don’t have a country.”

“They don’t know it yet, but they’re going to pay for the wall,” said the GOP nominee.  

“And they’re great people, and great leaders, but they’re going to pay for the wall,” he said.
