Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton says she will not be
visiting Mexico before the November election. Her Republican opponent, Donald
Trump, went there last week after Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto invited
both potential future U.S. leaders to discuss relations between the neighboring
countries.
Clinton told ABC News on Monday that she will instead focus her efforts
for now on creating jobs at home. Earlier Monday, she called Trump's talks with
Pena Nieto "an embarrassing international incident," and said Trump
did not know how to effectively talk to a head of state.
Clinton also told supporters in Cleveland, Ohio that her administration
would fight for workers' rights and dignity as she assailed Trump's business
record of multiple bankruptcies and allegations of poor treatment of his
workers. She said his "bluster and wild claims" do not stand up to
scrutiny. She later told reporters aboard her campaign plane that she is
gravely concerned about alleged "Russian government interference in our
elections."
"We are going to have to take those threats and attacks
seriously," she said. She also criticized Trump for "urging the
Russians to hack more," an apparent reference to a Trump remark in which
he asked the Russians to find Clinton's missing emails.
Russia is suspected of breaking into the computer system of the
Democratic National Committee earlier this year, revealing that some DNC
officials favored Clinton over her chief rival in the primaries, Bernie
Sanders.
Trump also was in Ohio on Monday, meeting with union members and blaming
President Barack Obama for allowing U.S. corporations to move jobs to Mexico. "We're
going to stop companies from leaving," Trump vowed, saying it would be
"so easy" to do.
Trump's occasionally tough and at other times moderate stance on
immigration became even murkier Monday. He told a rowdy audience last week in
Arizona that undocumented immigrants seeking legal status in the U.S. will have
to go back home first.
But he told reporters Monday that they may not have to return home,
saying he is not "ruling out anything." He said a final decision
would come in the future. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump waves
as he walks with vice presidential candidate Gov. Mike Pence, R-Ind., during a
visit to the170th Canfield Fair, Sept. 5, 2016, in Canfield, Ohio.
Clinton called Trump's talks last week with Mexican President Enrique
Pena Nieto, in which immigration was a major topic, "an embarrassing
international incident." Trump denied the two discussed who would pay for
a wall he wants to build along the U.S. order with Mexico, while Pena Nieto
said he told Trump that Mexico will not pay for it.
The Trump and Clinton campaign planes were at the Cleveland airport at
the same time Monday, but the two candidates did not cross paths. "It's
kind of interesting to have all the planes here on the same tarmac,"
Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Kaine said as he walked over to
greet Clinton. "Just shows you how important Ohio is. We're going to be
here a lot."
It was no coincidence that both were campaigning in the Midwestern state
on Labor Day. Ohio is both farm country and industrial, dotted by several major
cities. It is also a major battleground state that could go either way on
Election Day. The latest polls give Clinton a 44-to-41 percent lead in Ohio,
and a 4-point lead nationally.
