From 2009 to 2014, the Obama administration deported 2.4 million people. It was a bid that didn’t necessarily go over well with black voters and caused lots of buzz on social media.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump today said there will not be any detention centres for illegal immigrants in the U.S. as he asserted that he would get “bad people” out of the country and the deportation process will be done in a humane manner. The first thing we are going to do if and when I win, is we are going to get rid of all of the bad ones. “You’ve got to go out and you’ve got to watch”. Is he anxious that his most fervent supporters – the folk who chant “Build that wall!” at rallies – will stick with their man, even when he says he’ll effectively be an extension of Obama? We don’t do anything. They update the information they recall about a candidate, but people rarely change how they feel.
Trump’s immigration shift comes after days of consulting with advisers and Hispanic supporters, and is a marked shift in style and substance from the strident illegal immigration tone he has struck since the day he announced his candidacy, when he accused Mexico of sending murderers and rapists to the United States illegally. As the United States recently saw a surge of tens of thousands of women and children fleeing violence and corruption in Central America, the administration has deported all new arrivals who did not qualify for political asylum in hopes of deterring others from making the risky journey – a stance that has angered immigrant rights groups. In a press release from her campaign, it says the office will serve as a hub for organizing activity in St. Louis to help elect Clinton and Democrats up and down the November ballot.
During the primary season, Trump frequently denounced his Republican rivals for being too weak on immigration. “As far as everybody else, we’re going to go through the process”.
He said the outgoing President Barack Obama got tremendous numbers of people out of the country using the existing laws and same was done by his predecessor George Bush. Lots of people were brought out of the country with the existing laws. “I’m planning on drawing off my experiences from elementary school”, she said on late-night talk show “Jimmy Kimmel Live”.
Later in the interview, Trump again explained how this group of people would be treated. The remainder would be processed by the existing immigration courts.
Donald Trump and his Republican allies say Hillary Clinton is weak, lacks stamina and doesn’t look presidential. “Bill, you’re the first one to mention ‘detention centre.’ You don’t have to put them in a detention centre”.

“I said that it’s something that has been done in a very strong manner”, Trump said, explaining why he had originally referenced the historic deportations.
