Donald Trump said Thursday that Hillary Clinton’s attempt to cast him and his supporters as racists smacks of desperation and is meant to distract voters from how her policies have devastated minority communities and the nation’s inner cities. “So we want to stop all illegal immigration”. And as we work our way through this, there will be people lost in the shadows, as others say, years down the road, and it doesn’t trouble me if they live in the shadows and we don’t find them, if they’re not running contrary to the law.

“They will take words of mine out of context and spend a week obsessing over every single syllable”, he said.
“There is no path to legalisation, unless people leave the country”. In an appearance on Fox News Channel’s “Hannity” show Wednesday, Trump discussed how tough it is to break up families for deportation, suggesting that maybe upstanding people who’ve been in this country for years should be allowed to stay if they pay back taxes and insisting, just as Bush and Rubio were repeatedly forced to do, that such actions would not amount to “amnesty”.
Donald Trump is promising to unveil his new immigration policy over “the next week or two”. He rejected the argument that only immigrants who’ve committed crimes should be deported, because as he argued, anyone in the country illegally is by definition a criminal.
“We’ve always had great relationships with the African American community and I’ve made it such a focal point”, Trump said yesterday before a meeting at his NY headquarters with black and Hispanic Republicans.
By contrast, 50 percent of Trump supporters say undocumented residents “are more likely than American citizens to commit serious crimes”; 43 percent said they are not. And that’s a little unfair to people but we’re going to let people come in anyway. “We’re going to have a wall that Mexico pays for, which will be very easy, because they are making a fortune with us, the wall is peanuts compared to the money that they make”, he said.
Trump courted hard-liners on immigration in the primary campaign.
Trump’s campaign says the Republican nominee has never used the term “alt-right” and disavows “any groups or individuals associated with a message of hate”.
The other, clear objective with this Trump visit was to reinforce his promise to enforce illegal immigration laws and build a wall along the Mexican border. “I don’t know the comment he made, but I like him very much”, Trump said.
Her campaign also released an online video that compiles footage of prominent white supremacist leaders praising Trump, who has been criticized for failing to immediately denounce the support that he’s garnered from white nationalists and supremacist, including former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke.
“She is a bigot because you look at what’s happening to the inner cities, you look at what’s happening to African-Americans and Hispanics in this country where she talks all of the time”, Trump told the network. “She is selling them down the tubes because she’s not doing anything for those communities”.
Bell said that the strategy to reach Black voters is to bring in people who reach out to the community and shining light on the party’s past fixes, such as improving schools and creating jobs.
“Her policies are bigoted. But I speak to border guards, and they tell us what we’re getting”, Trump said.

Well, according to polls and numerous reports, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s one line in an attempt to attract African-American voters seems to have the answer to that question.
