8-year-old girl named America joins RNC demonstrations against Trump

Published December 02, 2016

As protesters from around the nation descend on Cleveland this week for the Republican National Convention, one demonstrator caught our correspondent's eye for her very young age.

America, 8, came all the way from Minnesota with her family bringing a message to the presumptive GOP nominee: "Don't deport my parents."

During a rally in downtown Cleveland, America's undocumented mother told Fox News Latino she named her that way because for her the U.S. means liberty. America’s parents arrived in this country 18 years ago, the mother said.

America said she wants Trump to “stop deporting people and stop being mean to Mexicans.”
