A large number of pro-immigration protesters have interrupted Republican US presidential Donald Trump’s campaign speech in Miami, Florida, three times.

Trump insisted the interruptions didn’t bother him on Friday night but asked his security staff to get them out of the building.

“You can get them out, just don't hurt them,” Trump advised to building security at Trump National Doral Miami, a resort he owns.

 He said of the protests that “that's what freedom of speech is about.”

 "Isn't this more fun than having like a normal deal?" the billionaire told his supporters. "This is more fun, right?"

 But after repeated interruptions, Trump became upset and stated that he had been polite to the first two disruptors.

 “The third group, I’ll be a little more violent, and the fourth group, I’ll say, ‘Get the hell out of here!’ ”

The frontrunner Republican presidential candidate’s campaign has been marked by controversial statements, including disparaging remarks about Mexican immigrants.

Trump’s harsh rhetoric on the subject of illegal immigration has defined his campaign ever since he joined the 2016 White House race in mid-June, making him a polarizing figure. In addition to deportation, Trump wants to build a wall on the US-Mexico border.

The billionaire businessman released a sweeping immigration policy in August which attacks legal and illegal immigration from all angles.

While the strategy may bode well with the more conservative voters, it threatens to alienate a crucial and growing bloc of Hispanic voters.

In August, the New York billionaire said he was willing to spend $1 billion on his campaign if that is what it takes to win the White House.
