But the Democrat’s contradictions are dwarfed by those in the GOP. Instead, over the past week Trump has hinted at a change in his views regarding deporting 11 million people, while his campaign manager has denied any such change, and Trump finished the week creating further confusion on the issue.

“This is a new situation for Utah to be in”, said Chris Karpowitz, co-director of BYU’s Center for the Study of Elections and Democracy. “He’s thinking about these things, people are talking to him and he’s reflecting that”. She said trade jobs for roofers and carpenters, for example, are being taken over by undocumented immigrants.
He is unfavorably comparing the US economy to China’s and says the nation has “some very, very serious problems and it’s going to get worse with this group of people” in charge.
King told ABC News there is “not much” about Trump’s evolving comments about immigration that have “encouraged” him.
“It makes it very hard to figure out exactly where he is”, Karpowitz said.
The latest presidential poll out of Florida shows Donald Trump with a 1-point lead over Hillary Clinton.
Clinton also invoked the extermination order in her op-ed in the Deseret News, where she defended religious freedom and warned that “Trump’s Muslim ban would undo centuries of American tradition and values”. “The challenge is those same Republican voters seem to have made up their minds, rightly or wrongly, about Hillary Clinton“. “Poor Ann, oh my God, she has this book ‘In Trump We Trust, ‘ and in it she says, ‘The only thing, the only thing that could cause Donald Trump any trouble whatsoever is if he flip-flops on abortion or immigration and goes amnesty, ‘ and it looks like he’s getting close to it”.
“Once an illegal immigrant is arrested, the jail that booked them or law enforcement agency that effected the arrest will report the booking or arrest to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)”. “If he softens up, they think it can help in a place like Utah”. And it made them see the man proposing it as someone who is not approaching the business of being president in a serious and thoughtful manner.
Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee, blasted Trump on Thursday as a divisive candidate who was stoking racist groups. He could also add the requirement that illegals first return to their native country and formally apply to re-enter – in effect, “deporting” them but with the expectation that many, and even most, might return.
Even under tightened new policies, there’s still no guarantee that someone being detained is actually in the country illegally, said county Corrections Director Ed Sweeney.
And no issue fueled her support for Trump more than immigration.
Did Donald Trump really just do a total flip-flop on immigration?
But that’s not the main reason why Trump is softening his immigration rhetoric – because he surely knows that he has near zero chance of significantly raising his support among Hispanics.
In part, the new strategy aimed to win back support of local police and communities that have been backing away from helping enforce federal immigration laws.
“The fact of the matter is he can’t unring the bell”, said Javier Palomarez.
But what that means for Clinton in Utah remains to be seen. Their actions of not speaking out against the worst candidate any party has ever offered for the presidency have not only brought the Republican party to the precipice but have also endangered our country and the stability of the world.
Being undocumented sure would have its benefits, and as I’ve said before, where do I sign?
The Republican nominee is meeting with Latino supporters in Las Vegas.
