SAN ANTONIO – Thousands of hardcore Hillary Clinton supporters packed into Sunset Station Thursday for the presidential frontrunner's first visit in years to the Alamo City.

Introduced and endorsed by former Mayor Julián Castro, Clinton said she is seeking the Democratic nomination and presidency so she can work for everyday Americans. She worked to woo the Latino crowd at the event. Signs around the venue displayed an artistic photo of the candidate with "La Hillary" emblazoned across the bottom.

Clinton chided the GOP for its divisive rhetoric, such as "anchor babies," and said that Latinos "are our neighbors, our friends our families."

Applause and cheers erupted from the crowd on Clinton's first mention of President Barack Obama and what she said he's done for the country since being elected in 2008.

As Clinton spoke, protesters in the back of the venue jeered the candidate, though it wasn't clear exactly what they were saying.
