Latinos Brew Rally Against Donald Trump in Upcoming Dallas Appearance

A group of Latinos are preparing for a major protest movement against presidential candidate and businessman Donald Trump on Monday, seven days before he visits Dallas.

WFAA said more than 900 individuals have signed up on the Facebook community called "Un Día Sin Trump" (A Day Without Trump) which reportedly came from the title of the 2004 movie "A Day Without a Mexican."

The protest rally will reportedly be done at the Dallas City Hall plaza.

Event organizer Carlos Quintanilla said he is bent on empowering the Latinos community to vote for the upcoming elections.

"We want to send a message to Donald Trump, a very clear message that we are preparing our community to participate, to vote, to become engaged, to respond in a peaceful manner against his hateful comments. We categorically reject his statements of hate, his statements of race that we are drug dealers, that we are criminals, that we are rapists. Our community contributes billions of dollars to the U.S. economy," Quintanilla said in a video posted on the Facebook page.

The group seemed to have not forgotten the harsh comments Trump made against the Latinos when he announced his presidential bid in New York last June 16.

"When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending the best. They're sending people that have lots of problems and they're bringing those problems. They're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime. They're rapists and some, I assume, are good people, but I speak to border guards and they're telling us what we're getting," the business mogul was quoted by Variety as saying.

The rally organizer claimed that his 11-year-old son heard what Trump said and told him that somebody has to stand up for the Mexican community.

"My son, he came to me. He said, 'Dad, he's getting popular by hating Mexicans, and no one's doing anything about it ... Donald Trump has offended our community," Quintanilla related.

Aside from the Dallas movement, WFAA said Quintanilla also organized an event outside the Trump Tower in New York City last Sept. 3

The leader is also reportedly planning to hold similar events in various parts of the United States.

Meanwhile, proud Mexican and TV host Marco Antonio Regil wrote in an article published by Huffington Post that Trump's claims on Lations are "ridiculous and unfair" but noted that he will not be part of this "attack game."

"It's undignified and negative. I don't want to be part of the political mud-slinging. I want to be positive. I want to celebrate the heroes of this country, the men and women of our community who make us proud. The Latino heroes, who stepped up after 9/11 to fight for this nation's freedom," Regil added.

However, an analysis by the Washington Post revealed that Trump could still win even with the Latinos not opting to vote for him.

"But if Trump could replace Latino votes with those of another large minority group that traditionally votes Democratic, he might have a fighting chance at victory," added the same report.
