“And I think when voters look at that, they’re going to say that’s not what we want to have happen in our country”.

The Trump campaign did not respond to requests for comment.
Trump promises on Twitter that he’ll make a major speech on illegal immigration on Wednesday, Aug. 31, 2016, carrying his self-declared “immigration week” into a second. His trip to Mexico would occur between his events.
Trump’s signature hardline approach on the issue of immigration, which capitalized on deportation and his plan to build up a wall between the borders of US and Mexico, took a vacillating turn after meeting with Hispanic leaders August 20. Trump’s rhetoric around race, ethnicity and nationality have depressed his numbers among every demographic – he is underperforming past Republican presidential candidates in almost every voting bloc.
Both Trump and Clinton are now among the worst-rated presidential candidates of the last 70 years.
When Trump’s campaign manager Kellyanne Conway was recently asked if Trump would forcibly remove all undocumented immigrants from the country, she said that this was to be determined.
It was not immediately clear from the wording of Sullivan’s order whether Clinton must answer the questions under oath before or after the November election.
Thomson says if Trump stays on the ballot, she will vote for him because defeating Hillary Clinton is the most important thing. His running mate, Mike Pence, describes him as “a CEO at work” as he consults with various stakeholders.
It will be a perilous moment for Mr Trump, who surged to capture the nomination of the Republican Party earlier this year in part on his uncompromising platform of evicting everyone in the country en masse and simultaneously building a 2,000-mile wall at the US-Mexico border.
Even with those broad priorities in place, it is unclear how many people would be subject to immediate deportation – all undocumented immigrants, all who have overstayed their visas or just those who have committed serious crimes.
So, what is he going to do with 11 million immigrants?
Polls have shown Clinton leading Trump in all four, though a recent OH poll showed the two tied. It could, however, cause an eruption among those who have backed him so far. As the Republican primary contests unfolded, he vowed to kick out all of the nation’s illegal immigrants and called for a “deportation force” to get the job done.
“Trump’s positive message of economic opportunity is working and we see the national and battleground state polls all moving in the right direction”. And he has struggled to prove that he has a sufficient grasp of policy issues to implement his proposals if elected, a weakness that Clinton has repeatedly sought to exploit.
The candidate has received a deluge of conflicting advice and perspectives from advisers and supporters.
Clinton is accused by Trump of doing political favors for some of the people who donated money to her family’s foundation when she was in office from 2009 to 2013. Marco Rubio, R-Florida.
Either way, there’s little doubt that many Trump backers are skittish about going public. But now those details are tripping up his campaign.
Bannon, who previously headed the conservative website Breitbart News, made the case to the group that Trump must underscore his populist immigration views in the final weeks of the general-election campaign, perhaps with an audacious gesture.
His plans for the day include meeting with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto who extended an invitation to the Republican presidential nominee.
Kyle Dropp, Morning Consult co-founder and chief researcher, said at the time that other factors also contributed to the disparity, but he added that what the divide “does suggest is that some polling may be understating Trump’s actual level of support”. Trump came in at 64 per cent, up two points.
