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”.

Since Donald Trump’s 10-point immigration policy speech last night, at least three members of his Hispanic outreach council have said they’re stepping down. Kaine said that in the first 100 days of any Clinton administration, he and Clinton would “build a comprehensive package that includes basically support for DREAMers, that includes support for employers, that includes a path for hardworking people to earn the ability to stay here as citizens over many years and also border security”.
The GOP candidate announced during a fiery speech on immigration on 31 August in Arizona that there would be “no amnesty” for those who had been living and working undocumented in the U.S. – with those under threat most likely to be Mexicans living in USA border states.
These overtures suggested to some that Trump was going to “soften” his immigration policies, an idea that Trump vomited all over later that day during his speech on immigration in Arizona.
Even one of Mr Trump’s own Latino advisory board members – Jacob Monty, an ardent Republican – has quit, saying he will no longer be a prop for the Presidential nominee.
“As long as he continues with this sort of rhetoric, no, none of us are going to support him”, Hughes said.

“I think there was an advance in general”, he added. He was moving toward a resonable (sic), pro business and compasionate (sic) immigration plan. He must want to lose.
Pena continued, “I am so sorry but I believe Mr. Trump lost the election tonight”.
“And then we heard yesterday, and I was totally disappointed – not surprised, but disappointed – and slightly misled, because he gave the impression and the campaign gave the impression until yesterday morning that he was going to deal with the undocumented in a compassionate way”. The implication here is that Trump will deport all immigrants who have committed crimes (which has been the focus of Obama’s deportation strategy, too), and that this will ensure the safety of America’s children. We thought we were moving in the right direction … we’re disappointed.

Pena did not officially pull his support, but he did say “it is hard to (imagine) how I can continue to associate with the Trump campaign”.
