Trump met with Hispanic supporters at his Trump Tower headquarters in NY on Saturday, when several participants told Spanish-language network Univision that he said his plan will include finding a way to legalise millions of undocumented immigrants.
Donald Trump is expected to rollout an immigration plan in a visit to the Denver area on Thursday, addressing a crucial issue in a battleground state key to his campaign’s rebound efforts. And Univision reported the planned Thursday speech would introduce a new immigration proposal that would include a path to legalization for immigrants without proper documentation.
Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway went on to say his position is “to be determined” as he considers policies that would help Hispanic businesses grow.
Conway’s comments set off a firestorm of speculation that Trump was shifting to a more general election-friendly message.
(Trump) “No I’m not flip-flopping”.
“We have to be very firm, we have to be very, very strong when people come in illegally”, Trump said Monday on Fox & Friends, later adding that “we’re working with a lot of people in the Hispanic community to try and come up with an answer”. “He was there to listen and learn. It has to be very firm”.
And on Monday, Conway said the plan to deport 11 million people was never set in stone.
The new media buys come the same day the campaign is unveiling another television attack ad against Donald Trump.
After months of not airing any ads, the Trump campaign announced last week that they would begin airing about $4 million in television time in four states to air over the next 10 days: $1.4 million is reserved in Florida; $985,000 in Pennsylvania, $830,000 in North Carolina and $745,000 in OH, according to data from CMAG/Kantar Media, a company that tracks political advertising.
