Pence: Trump’s Deportation Force Is a ‘Mechanism, Not a Policy’

The “touchback” policy seemingly floated by the GOP ticket this week could mimic the very proposal Pence laid out in 2006 while serving in Congress.

Trump’s campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, said the candidate has said that people who want to be in the US legally must apply through legal means. He added that Christie is “not the only one” advising Trump on immigration but said “he is great value” to the Republican nominee.

Recent polls indicate Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton is ahead in some of the most competitive and pivotal states.

He compared Duke’s support for Trump to the father of the Orlando nightclub shooter’s appearance at a Clinton rally, suggesting neither is relevant to the two presidential candidates.

“I don’t know how much of it is true or not”, he remarked to Todd.

“There’s a lot of things that he’s doing very differently; there’s a lot of beliefs that he has”, Eric Trump said.”I think the Republican Party has nearly become an “America First Party” because that’s really his message”.
