Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump ruled out a pathway to legal status for illegal immigrants and said if elected to the White House he would authorise law enforcement agencies for deportation of those illegal immigrants who have committed crime.

Americans for Legal Immigration PAC, an ultraconservative group that supported Trump’s plan to deport 10 million immigrants living in the United States without permission, warned the Republican presidential nominee that there could be backlash if he backed away from his immigration position, which helped him secure the Republican nomination.
Trump tried to get ahead of the Democratic nominee, addressing a crowd in Manchester, New Hampshire just minutes before Clinton. “When they come back in, if they come back in, then they can start paying taxes”, he said.
King also allowed for the possibility that undocumented immigrants who haven’t committed crimes can be deported later than those who have. He said he would still prioritize deportations for illegal immigrant criminals, and crack down on sanctuary cities, and this puts him in the company of congressional Republicans and, in some respects, the Obama administration.
“Oh, we’re going to build a wall, don’t you worry about it!”
When Donald Trump announced his candidacy for the presidency past year, the first problem he raised and made his dominant issue was illegal immigrants from Mexico.
Donald Trump is drawing back from the hardline position on immigration that brought him lots of primary voters. “We want people – we have some great people in this country”.
“Senator Rubio is a particularly different case because he led the Gang of Eight with Chuck Schumer and – and I think Dick Durbin. We’re going to go with the laws that are existing, but we’re going to have a very strong border and we’re not going to have people pouring back in”, he said.
That being the case, we made a decision to analyze the past six months of Trump’s tweets to see what they could tell us about the frequency with which he tweets, whether he writes a lot of the tweets himself and what time of day he is taking to the social media site.
At the same event with Hannity, Trump, who over the weekend met with Hispanic advisers, said about his immigration policies: “There could certainly be a softening because we’re not looking to hurt people”.
Trump said Thursday he will lay out an “exact plan” on immigration in an upcoming speech.
“He may try to disguise his plans by throwing in words like “humane” or ” fair”, but the reality remains that Trump’s agenda echoes the extreme right’s will – one that is fueling a risky movement of hatred across the country”, Clinton spokeswoman Jennifer Palmieri said.
“I don’t think it is a change in policy”, Coulter told the Washington Examiner.
Trump and Clinton are each portraying the other as discriminatory toward African-Americans, with Trump charging on Wednesday evening that the candidate herself was hateful.
Note: Because Clinton’s tweets don’t exhibit a similar time-of-day disparity between devices, we couldn’t make a determination about who was behind a tweet – so we chose to just focus on Trump here.
“[Trump] seems to be getting contradictory advice”, she said.
“Because she’s selling them down the tubes”. She talks a good game.
“For one thing, we know that immigration is not seen as the top problem facing the nation today by most Americans, but it is perceived as an important issue”.
When pressed on the similarities between his position and Trump’s new stance, Bush said with a laugh: “Well I’m sure I influenced his position”.
Asked about his controversial new campaign chief, Steve Bannon, who had praised the movement when at Breitbart News, Trump drew some distance: “I don’t know what Steve said”. You can trust Hillary Clinton to keep all of her promises and you can trust Donald Trump to break all of his. About two weeks after its release, he announced his candidacy with a speech in which he warned that many undocumented immigrants are drug dealers and rapists.

“What Donald Trump is saying and doing is blowing up his own base”, he said.
