Have no problem asking Congress to declare war on terror: Donald

Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton has alleged that Donald Trump could “bankrupt” America like his companies as the controversial presumptive Republican nominee’s economics is a “recipe” for lower wages, fewer jobs and more debt.

“Ask yourself, how could anybody lose money running a casino Really And that is not all. I hear every day from families who are afraid of what a Donald Trump presidency would mean for millions of immigrants living and working in America,” Ms Clinton, 68, said as she mocked Mr Trump, 69.

“Trump economics is a recipe for lower wages, fewer jobs, more debt. He could bankrupt America like he has bankrupted his companies,” the former secretary of state said on Monday in her address to the 2016 International Convent-ion of the Service Employees Internatio-nal Union in Detroit.

In her speech, Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton reiterated her commitment to introducing comprehensive immigration reform in the first 100 days in office and building on President Barack Obama’s executive actions in order to keep families together.

Ms Clinton warned of the consequences of a Donald Trump presidency that would deport 11 million immigrants and tear hardworking families apart.

She emphasised that the stakes could not be higher because Donald Trump’s vision for America is to send a “deportation force” to schools, workplaces and homes to round up children, mothers, fathers and grandparents.

Meanwhile, Mr Trump has said he would have no problem asking the Congress for a declaration of war against terrorism.

“It would not bother me at all doing that, we probably should have done that in the first place. This is a war against people that are vicious, violent that we have no idea who they are or where they come from,” Mr Trump, 69, told Fox News on Monday when asked if he would support asking Congress for a declaration of war to fight terrorism.

Meanwhile, Mr Trump met Senator Bob Corker, chairman of the senate foreign relations committee in New York, fuelling speculation that this was part of his vice-presidential sea-rch. Mr Corker, however, refuted such reports.

A new poll by the Washington Post/ABC News poll showed Mr Trump is leading his Democratic presidential rival Hillary Clinton, 68, by four per cent in a hypothetical November match up.
