But he recently walked back his stance and has suggested a “softening” in his immigration position in a Fox News town hall with Sean Hannity.

“No citizenship”, he said.
“I don’t know what to believe about a guy who doesn’t believe in things”, Bush said.
“We have got to fix the damage that has been done”, she said.
“I’ve had very strong people come up to me, really great, great people come up to me, and they’ve said, ‘Mr”.
But Trump insisted there would be “no amnesty” and that “they will pay back taxes”.
In outlining his views, Trump said addressing illegal immigration is important to helping Americans find jobs. “I’ve seen the headlines but you’ll have to ask his campaign”. “Or it’s like the merit system other than they did break the law in the first place”. “We’re going to have all the laws obeyed”. Roe said, “We’ve never taken in our enemies before”. “So do we tell these people to get out or do we work with them and let them stay in some form?”
During his campaign, Trump has said his first priority upon taking office next January would be the immediate deportation of thousands of illegal immigrants who remain in the United States despite having committed crimes.
“That one is so simple”, he said.
As for the 11 million people who are in the country illegally, Pence said, “We will have a mechanism for dealing with people in this country that – you heard the word “humanely” again”.
And on Friday, Trump supporter Kayleigh McEnany, speaking to CNN’s Jim Sciutto on “The Lead”, said Trump’s campaign was not engaging in Clinton’s “gutter politics”. Well, that’s about to be tested, because if there’s one issue that has animated the Republican rank and file over the past decade, it’s immigration.
This is similar to what passed a Senate “Gang of 8” bill in 2013 – a bill Trump attacked in the primary as weak on immigration. I think that’s where the majority of the American people is and that three-step process I think is the only way forward on immigration. Jeff Sessions, an immigration hard-liner. While he has not wavered on his desire to build an impenetrable wall along the border with Mexico, he exhibited indecisiveness in recent days about his plan to deport 11 million immigrants living in the USA illegally.
That stance drew fire from conservatives who wanted him to stand fast after he won the Republican presidential nomination in large part by a hardline stance that would include building a wall along the US border with Mexico. We’re going to build a wall, have a physical barrier. But he couldn’t say what the Republican nominee’s current stance is on a deportation force.
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump shares the stage with the family of Sarah Root at Joni’s Roast and Ride at the Iowa State Fairgrounds, in Des Moines, Iowa, Saturday, Aug. 27, 2016.
Donald Trump suggested Wednesday that he would allow exceptions to let some undocumented immigrants to stay in the United States, vowing he wouldn’t grant them citizenship but telling Fox News, “there’s no amnesty, but we work with them”.
She continued: “Maybe he will try to be presidential and try to convey a gravity that he hasn’t done before or will he come in and try to insult and try to score some points”. “You earn legal status, not citizenship”.
Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus admitted on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that his party’s nominee is considering changing his previous position, calling the issue complicated – even though Trump had ignored those complexities in the primary. “Chuck, we either have a country, or we don’t have a country”.

Ernst and most other speakers offered praise for Trump, a rarity at a time when many Republican political leaders have distanced themselves from his candidacy due to his incendiary rhetoric. McCain would repeatedly tell New Hampshire voters that he’d gotten the message. In five states right now, I’m at 16 percent.
