Trump has promised, if elected, to deport millions of immigrants who are in the United States illegally, force Mexico to build a wall to secure the almost 2,000-mile border and renegotiate the NAFTA trade agreement to make it more favorable to the United States. She said, “I think you’ll see a very presidential Donald Trump”.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27 (Xinhua) – U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is seeing yet another scandal piling on top of others scandals, which hurts her campaign by shifting attention away from Republican candidate Donald Trump, experts said.
That omission didn’t bother Dan Stein, who leads the Federation for American Immigration Reform, a group that pushes for stricter immigration policies.
Trump has made a border wall the drumbeat of his campaign, and he doubled down on that idea during his policy speech in Arizona.
Seeking to end confusion over his aggressive but recently muddled language on immigration, Donald Trump vowed Wednesday to remove millions of people living in the country illegally if he becomes president, warning that failure to do so would jeopardize the “well-being of the American people”.
The buildup to the speech was abruptly interrupted Tuesday night by the news that Trump would visit Mexico, accepting on short notice an invitation offered last week by Pena Nieto. The Mexican leader’s office confirmed the meeting with its own tweet, saying the two men would meet privately.
“Mexico will pay for the wall”, he said.
Donald Trump made his much awaited Immigration speech on Wednesday in Phoenix.
Trump’s afternoon meeting in Mexico City with President Enrique Peña Nieto drew protests from Mexican residents and contempt from former president Vicente Fox.
Trump and Nieto discussed Trump’s plan for a border wall.
Mr Trump also told reporters: “I happen to have tremendous feeling for Mexican Americans. they are unbelievable people”.
Trump did however vow to create a “deportation task force” which would be tasked to identify illegal immigrants with criminal backgrounds and deport them to their country of original.
The self-proclaimed billionaire repeated his claim that Mexico will pay for the wall, “100%”.
Even as he beat a retreat from his earlier pledge to deport all illegal immigrants from the country, Trump’s aggressive tone in Phoenix marked a shift from earlier in the day. After one such roundtable this month, his new campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, said Trump’s stance on using a deportation force to expel people was “to be determined”.
President President Pena Nieto also stressed that Mexican undocumented immigration into the United States had peaked 10 years ago, and has been consistently decreasing and was therefore less of a problem for the US.

Trump is trailing Clinton in opinion polls and the NY businessman’s aides hoped the trip would make him look presidential and show he was willing to deal head-on with thorny issues such as relations with Mexico. It comes on the heels of a string of comments that have made the candidate deeply unpopular with Latinos, including the description of Mexicans as criminals and rapists, and an attack on a USA judge’s impartiality because of his “Mexican heritage”.
