Update:

It was the first time in her life Leslie Hills felt compelled to see a presidential candidate in person.

And she never expected it would be Donald Trump, the GOP frontrunner and billionaire businessman whose name she's had to whisper for months.

"It's not something a lot of people say out loud, but a lot of my friends and I are supporting him," the Lancaster resident said.

Hills has kept her political support to herself because the straight-talking Trump is seemingly surrounded by controversy.

But she and hundreds of others showed up Thursday night at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex & Expo Center in Harrisburg to proudly wave signs bearing his last name and wear hats emblazoned with his campaign slogan, "Make America Great Again."

There was no fear of his often-debated immigration policy when the crowd chanted, "Build that wall!" before Trump took the stage a little after 7:15 p.m.

"Oh, we're gonna build the wall," the candidate said to loud cheers.

"Who's gonna pay for it?" Trump said.

"Mexico," the crowd yelled in unison.

"100 percent," Trump said.

Each time the wall was mentioned, Trump got the loudest cheers.

Trump's immigration policy is a big reason why U.S. Congressman Lou Barletta is supporting him.

The Hazleton Republican is especially a fan of Trump's proposal to build a wall along the border of the U.S. and Mexico, but maintains the GOP frontrunner is actually taking care of immigrants.

"Don't confuse legal immigration with illegal immigration," Barletta said.

America is not a country that allows people to come in while bypassing inspections, health screening and background checks, he said.

"This is the land that welcomes immigrants and that's what Donald Trump stands for - to give legal immigrants a chance in America," Barletta said.

Trump reiterated his stance again Thursday night: "We're going to bring people in, but we're going to bring people in legally."

But during his campaign stop in Harrisburg, more than five protesters were led out by police.

"These people, you can't get rid of 'em," Trump said early on in his speech.

When a protester was tossed later in his speech, he said, "Look how fast our police work...They were running him out. Beautiful."

Overall, Trump positioned himself as the candidate who will be able to forge business deals and bring true leadership to the White House, saying he'd love to run against "crooked Hillary (Clinton)."

State Sen. Scott Wagner, who attended the rally, said he hasn't decided who he's voting for, but the businessman does believe the country needs an executive in the executive branch.

"It all comes down to who can really lead," he said.

Wagner said he was also paying attention to the tone of the crowd.

"Donald Trump has tapped into anger in America. People are angry and rightfully so. That's why there's a line to Lebanon out there," the senator said of the crowd to see Trump.

To those people, Trump offered a big promise on which he'll have to deliver if elected: "Our country's going to hell, and we're going to stop it, and we're going to stop it fast."
