Donald Trump won the Republican presidential nomination by running to the right of many opponents on immigration, vowing to deport every last one of the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the United States.

King, who called the initial softening a “mistake”, now says Trump’s consideration of legal status “gives me an uneasy feeling in my stomach”.
Now Trump has reportedly told members of his national Hispanic advisory council that he regretted some of his more hurtful comments about Hispanics and that, if elected, he wants to find a “humane and efficient” manner to deal with immigrants who are in the country illegally. Chris Pandolfo type-shouted in the Conservative Review Wednesday.
But Trump was saddled with another inflammatory revelation Friday when court papers surfaced showing that an ex-wife of Trump’s new campaign CEO, Stephen Bannon, said Bannon made anti-Semitic remarks when the two battled over sending their daughters to private school almost a decade ago.
“He’s said no path to legalization, no path to citizen ship”.
“Confirming what we’ve seen from the start of his campaign: Donald Trump will be Donald Trump”. But the stories were essentially just transcripts of exchanges between the Republican standard-bearer and the Fox News host. The celebrity businessman was not planning to join the 42-mile motorcycle ride that is part of the event but bringing his campaign to a state where polls show a tight contest, a rare bright spot for Trump amid a sea of challenging battleground states.
This really isn’t unusual. Donald Trump: “Look, I’ve had people say it’s a hardening, actually”.

During the primary, Bush repeatedly argued that Trump’s deportation idea and proposal to build a wall along the border were “unrealistic” and wouldn’t come to pass.
And then, out of sheer desperation or stupidity, Trump decided this week to copy them. “We can’t trust anybody”. And there are many elements to that connection.
“Democrats are taking Trump way too seriously”, one veteran GOP consultant told me at the Republican convention in Cleveland.
“I would say this – those who are here illegally, those who cross the border illegally – committed the crime”.
Amid signs he is softening his stance on illegal immigration, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump indicated Thursday he will unveil his exact plan in the coming days.

“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 unsafe movement of hatred across the country”, she said. It’s no more complicated than that. “I’m not going to be supporting the legalization of people that are here unlawfully, because that is amnesty”, he said. Yet Trump now seems to be reverting to his original plan – one derided as a “touchback” policy in which those without proper papers must return home before re-entering the country.
