Republican Donald Trump insists that he’s not flip-flopping when it comes to his proposal to deport the estimated 11 million people living in the United States illegally – even though his new campaign manager now says his stance is “to be determined”.

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump canceled an immigration speech scheduled for Thursday.
Trump is expected to discuss “illegal immigration and border security” at a town hall moderated by Fox News’s Sean Hannity on Tuesday in San Antonio; it will air Tuesday and Wednesday nights.
But on Fox News Monday night, Trump appeared to walk back his praise for that initiative.
Kaine said: “Once donors were writing checks to the campaign, Trump said, ‘Wow, I can get more money personally out of this.'” He said Trump had a “what-can-the-campaign-do-for-me” ethos. “We have some great people in this country. You get shot”, he said. And they are the ones who do the fighting and dying, not those in the rear-echelon who pen letters from their leather padded chairs in cushy offices. We don’t do anything. “If he wasn’t hitting this nerve with a broad spectrum of people out in the countryside, then given the kind of candidate he is and the kind of campaign he’s run he wouldn’t be anywhere”. “We have existing laws that allow you to do that”.
Instead, Aguirre Ferre said, “he will focus on removing the violent undocumented who have criminal records and live in the country”.
The campaign’s new leadership combines Bannon, a combative conservative, with Conway, a data-driven analyst who has been trying to broaden Trump’s appeal to women and independent voters.
Hopkins said Trump relies on his business reputation to persuade voters, but she said she does not believe this makes him qualified to be president. “We want to come up with a fair but firm process”. Bush, the same thing.
“Is there any part of the law that you might be able to change that would accommodate those people that contribute to society, have been law-abiding, have kids here?” “Well, I’m going to do the same thing”. A central reason for his success with many Republican voters, Trump’s pledge to deport undocumented immigrants, is itself now in question. Trump quickly batted down the suggestion that he would house people in detention centres. “Bill, you’re the first one to mention ‘detention centre.’ You don’t have to put them in a detention centre”.
It’s possible that Trump could go on the defensive and attack the New York Times again.
O’Reilly said that he suggested detention centres because Trump had previously likened his plans to mass deportations carried out during the 1950s under President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Trump says blacks have nothing to lose in supporting him, arguing that Democratic policies saddle black Americans with bad schools, crime-ridden streets and no economic opportunities. “I don’t agree with that”.

Later in the morning, Scarborough responded on Twitter without mentioning the ripped-from-the-tabloids rumor of a secret relationship: “Neurotic and not very bright?”
