Immigration rights groups say the issue needs to be front-and-center even though the debate was moved from Arizona to Washington, D.C.

Immigrant rights groups were anticipating that a presidential debate in Arizona — where Latinos make up nearly a third of the population — would focus Democrats on an issue they say has received scant attention during the primary.

“We expect that Trump will still use immigration as a signature wedge issue against whoever the Democratic nominee is. And if they're not prepared, then that's going to be a blind spot,” said Domingo Garcia, head of the League of United Latin American Citizens. But Democrats have spent little time on the topic during their presidential primary. Out of 1,141 questions asked at the Democratic debates to date, only 76 have been about immigration, according to an analysis by Media Matters, a progressive nonprofit.
