Trump has been modifying his pledge to deport the 11 million immigrants in the United States illegally in recent days.

“There certainly can be a softening, because we’re not looking to hurt people”, he said during a Fox News town hall event Tuesday, Aug. 23.
Overall, Trump’s supporters are split on how they view immigrants in the country illegally – according to a new survey from Pew Research Center, only 50 percent of Trump supporters agree that “undocumented immigrants now living in the US are more likely than USA citizens to commit serious crimes”. Trump said. “Do we take him and the family – her or him or whatever – and send them out?” He said, “I take this very personally when I hear people say that he’s reaching for this bigoted vote, because I’m going to tell you as a strategist as well, there’s no way you could win an election with the very few racially bigoted people left in this country. It’s a very, very hard thing”, Trump said.
This represents a reversal for Trump, who has made a hard-line immigration policy a cornerstone of his campaign since he announced last June.
However, Mr Trump is not backing down on some of his signature immigration policies, including building a wall along the US-Mexico border.
King also allowed for the possibility that undocumented immigrants who haven’t committed crimes can be deported later than those who have. “And frankly, it’s leadership and it’s presidential”, she said.
Sen. Jeff Sessions, a top Trump adviser on immigration, told Fox News the plan was not set in stone, leaving the door open to potential legalization for longtime residents after the USA secures its borders.
“We got to match what the Democrats are doing”, Rivera told the crowd. Or, as Republican strategist Rob Jesmer told the Huffington Post, “To say you’re for deporting murderers and rapists, well that’s great news ― so is Paul Ryan, Nancy Pelosi, George Bush and Chuck Schumer”.
Other issues on which he had different feelings before the presidential campaign include abortion and assault rifles.
“I think you’d be hard-pressed to make a case that the African-American community is not better off”, he said.
“That’s where Hillary Clinton is wrong for trying to call out Donald Trump supporters as racist”. “We can not stand silently in the face of a campaign that is intent on dividing our country”, the chamber said in its July 20 endorsement of Hillary Clinton. Marco Rubio campaigned in November in South Carolina: “We will enforce our immigration laws”.
Rep. Jason Chaffetz called on Donald Trump Wednesday to “open up (his) kimono” and release his tax returns and medical records. “They are the founders”, Trump said at a National Association of Home Builders event in Miami on August 11.
The commercial then reminds viewers – as Clinton did in a speech Thursday in Reno, Nevada – that Trump’s real estate company was once charged with discriminating African Americans and breaking federal law. The Republican Party recognized the problem and after the election, a Republican National Committee report recommended moderating on immigration – seen as a threshold issue for many Latinos.
