Trump blames illegal immigration for Chicago violence

CHICAGO -- Comments from presidential candidate Donald Trump during a Mobile, Ala. radio interview have sparked more controversy for the Republican front runner.

During the interview, Trump said illegal immigration is responsible for some of the violence in Chicago.

The comments come as Trump is also taking heat for using the term "anchor baby" when talking about undocumented immigrants.

Trump says he will end birthright citizenship and launch a mass deportation of millions of undocumented immigrants.

In response to Trump's comments, Mayor Rahm Emanuel released a statement saying: "Mr. Trump obviously hasn't spent enough time in Chicago, where we don't treat immigrants like second-class residents."

Trump was slated to speak to tens of thousands of people in Mobile on Friday night.
