"When it comes to the wall that Donald talks about building, he went to Mexico, had a meeting with the Mexican president but did not even raise it, he choked and then got into a Twitter war because the Mexican president said we are not paying for that wall," Clinton, 68, said during the third and final presidential debate here.
"We are both a nation of immigrants and we are a nation of laws and that we can act accordingly. And that is why I am introducing comprehensive immigration reform within the first 100 days with the path to citizenship," Clinton said.
Trump, 70, refuted Clinton's allegations, saying "I had a very good meeting with the President of Mexico. Very nice man. We will be doing very much better with Mexico on trade deals. The NAFTA deal signed by her husband is one of the worst deals ever made of any kind, signed by anybody. It is a disaster".
He alleged that Clinton wants to give amnesty.
"This is a disaster and very unfair to all of the people that are waiting on line for many, many years. We need strong borders. Illegal immigrants are coming to the country and many of them are engaged in criminal activities. They are coming in illegally. Drugs are pouring in through the border. We have no country if we have no border," the business tycoon said.
"One of my first acts will be to get all of the drug lords, all of the bad ones - we have some bad, bad people in this country that have to go out. We are going to get them out, we are going to secure the border. And once the border is secured, at a later date, we will make a determination as to the rest. But we have some bad hombres here and we are going to get them out," Trump said.
