Trump told Fox & Friends earlier in the day that he is not flip-flopping on deporting 11 million people living in the US illegally, but he said he wants to develop a “really fair, but firm” solution.
But in a meeting with Hispanic activists Saturday, Trump indicated he was open to considering allowing those who have not committed crimes, beyond their immigration offences, to obtain some form of legal status – though attendees stressed Trump has yet to make up his mind. “You’ve got to get everybody to go out and watch, and go out and vote”, Trump said as he wrapped up his remarks. The Republican presidential candidate said Monday he wants to come up with a “fair but firm answer” on immigration.
The reality is that Trump desperately wants to convince enough whites that they’re not racist if they vote for him, that he’s not really with the Confederate flag wavers who show up at his rallies. It has to be very firm.
“In Hillary Clinton’s world, we have one set of rules for her, and one set of rules for everybody else”, Trump said. “And I think he’s going to get this thing back on track”, Reince Priebus, the Republican National Committee chairman, said Sunday.
“Lots of people were brought out of the country with the existing laws”. We’re going to get them out.
The poll results also show that this election is in part a referendum on the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the health care reform measure that is the centerpiece of President Barack Obama’s term in office, Pollack said.
Asked whether Mr Trump’s plan still included a deportation force, his new campaign manager Kellyanne Conway said it was “to be determined”.
When it comes to immigration, Donald Trump seems to be changing his tune about deporting 11 million undocumented immigrants.
In recent weeks, Trump has delivered several carefully scripted speeches as his team attempts to regain some semblance of control in the race following weeks of plummeting poll numbers. “Okay? I’m building a wall”, Trump said.
Instead, Aguirre Ferre said, “he will focus on removing the violent undocumented who have criminal records and live in the country”.
Trump’s audiences are as they have been since he launched his campaign – mostly white.
Trump, however, denied on Fox News early Monday that he was “flip-flopping” on his immigration proposals following a meeting with Hispanic leaders.
Donald Trump pitched himself to African-American voters and promised he would win 95 percent of the community’s vote in a hypothetical re-election bid at a rally Friday in Dimondale, Michigan. Obviously there’s some overlap among people who answered yes to each question but the point is that there are voters still out there whom Trump can convert and, importantly, the bar he needs to clear to convert them is comparatively low.
Julie Renner, 40, of the Wayne County village of Dalton, said she first liked Trump because of his off-the-cuff approach. “That’s not what he is supposed to be about”.
He still stressed his standard campaign pillars of building a wall along the border with Mexico, keeping out undocumented foreigners and opposing worldwide trade accords.
“We’re going to build the wall so fast their heads will spin”.
Instead, he repeatedly attacked Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and her family foundation, and criticized global free-trade agreements and Washington elites.
As it stands, only two percent of black voters support Trump, compared to Hillary Clinton’s 83 percent, according to FiveThirtyEight.
State Department spokesman Mark Toner said the Federal Bureau of Investigation had handed over about 14,900 new emails to the department, both personal and government-related, that would be made public.

Meanwhile, almost 15,000 emails Hillary Clinton sent from her private server while secretary of state were released, and raised fresh concerns about potential conflicts of interest between the foundation and her service as the top U.S. diplomat.
