The candidate is not saying he will halt efforts to remove illegal immigrants instead he is now saying that he recognizes that the USA has already strong laws in place with which to approach the issue of deporting illegal immigrants and that he will abide by those laws.

Trump, who also met Thursday in NY with members of a new Republican Party initiative meant to train young – and largely minority – volunteers, has been working to win over blacks and Latinos in light of his past inflammatory comments and has been claiming that the Democrats have taken minority voters’ support for granted.
Coulter has said Trump requested and received an advance copy of the book.
But the fact is, Trump has made a big shift in his immigration rhetoric, which had been the pillar of his presidential campaign.
But with this perceived capitulation on immigration, Trump just threw himself on the scrap pile of politicians against whom his supporters rebelled. But as Trump gained support, his opponents were forced to modulate their stances, as even those like Rubio who had supported a path to citizenship for people in the country illegally put the focus on border security first.
Spokespeople for Trump did not immediately respond to a request for more clarity on Trump’s position in light of the CNN interview. “I don’t think it’s a softening”. His poll numbers slipping behind Hillary Clinton’s with less than three months until Election Day, Trump tried to get ahead of the Democratic nominee, who addressed a rally in Reno, Nevada minutes later, warning that the Republican Party is being taken over by “a radical fringe”, motivated by “prejudice and paranoia”.
This week the GOP nominee managed to flip-flop on his signature issue: the one that got him through all those noisy primary debates.
When Donald Trump announced his candidacy for the presidency a year ago, the first problem he raised and made his dominant issue was illegal immigrants from Mexico. He advocated the same in the GOP primaries.
Trump spoke about immigration in a town hall hosted by Fox News that was taped Tuesday, Aug. 23, but then broken into two parts and aired on Tuesday and Wednesday nights. “But there is no path to legalization unless they leave the country and come back”. I don’t think he is softening.
King said if Trump is wavering on his mass deportation policy, that would be against the rule of law. But she also, stunningly, conceded that it may be “in our interest to let some [undocumented immigrants] stay”. But he backed away from the sweeping approach by the time of his presidential campaign and repeatedly insisted that he did not support “amnesty”.
Obama under pressure from his Latino base eventually refined – and probably undermined – Bush’s enforcement policy by ordering immigration authorities to limit their deportation efforts to “criminal” aliens, many of whom ended up being released anyway. And, 67 percent said undocumented immigrants are no more likely than citizens to commit serious crimes. “It’ll keep all the bad guys out”, he could say.
‘And I think Donald Trump understands this.
On the very first page, Coulter complains about what she perceives as the decline of American exceptionalism and says: “There’s nothing Trump can do that won’t be forgiven”.
He doesn’t have to apologize to Mexicans for the wall’s offensive implications about them as a people and their country, either. She told ABC News that she wants Trump “to dump whomever the moron is who told him Americans are staying up at night anxious about how people who broke our laws entering, broke our laws staying here, broke our laws taking jobs, how comfortable they are”. Trump asked the audience.
More than 76 percent of those surveyed said undocumented immigrants are as hardworking and honest as USA citizens, according to a poll conducted by the Pew Research Center.
I didn’t believe this was possible for someone who launched his campaign on a promise to protect Americans from Mexican criminals and rapists – a fear-mongering tactic that seems passe now that Trump is more anxious about the Islamic State. “I look forward to it”. “It’s very exciting. I haven’t seen anything like this since the 1980 Reagan campaign against [Jimmy] Carter”.
“You have somebody that has been in the country for 20 years. We either have borders or we don’t”, Trump said, adding that he would still build a massive wall along the Southern border, and make Mexico pay for it, if elected president.
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 US illegally. But he did not offer any new details on his revised stance. In recent days, he’s suggested he might be open to allowing them to stay.
He also promised to implement a “mass deportation” of the 11 million illegal immigrants residing in the country right now. The tone he has adopted lately no longer includes that language. “Do you imagine what it’s like to be Jeb Bush today?”
Bush weighed in as well, without any amusement, calling Trump’s shifting on the issue “abhorrent”.
Now, Trump risks having the same problem in the final stretch before the general election.
Trump’s main point throughout the night was that he would be the one to bring back law and order to the country. “Donald Trump will be helping to advance the conservative movement”.
