Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump proposed contradictory immigration policies, saying in a broadcast interview that it would be “a very, very hard thing” to deport illegal immigrants who have been in the country for decades.

On Wednesday, Trump told Hannity there would be “no citizenship” for those illegal immigrants.

James Garcia, a spokesperson for the Arizona Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, said, “In terms of his [Trump’s] latest position, they’re really unclear”.

After initially taking a hard-line stance against illegal immigration, Trump appeared to back down this week, promising to be “fair, but firm” toward the estimated 11 million immigrants living in the United States illegally.

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump will deliver a “post-primary unity speech” at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in downtown Phoenix next Wednesday afternoon, 12 News has confirmed with Trump campaign sources. Trump and his surrogates have hinted over the last week that Trump will soften message regarding immigration. He still wants to build a wall along the US southern border with Mexico but he has emphasized in recent days a need to deal most urgently with illegal immigrants who commit crimes and also those who might be displacing African-American and Hispanic workers.

Trump was asked, [relevant exchange begins around 3:30] “Y$3 ou’re not a criminal alien, you committed no crimes, but you didn’t respect our laws and sovereignty”.

PALO ALTO, California Democrat Hillary Clinton will accuse Donald Trump of embracing a brand of USA political conservatism associated with white nationalism and nativism when she makes a Nevada campaign stop on Thursday. “We got to get rid of the sanctuary cities, we’re protecting these people”.

Trump then polled the audience again, when asked what was in his gut, Trump stated that asking the audience was “like a poll”. One such stop is expected to be in September in Detroit.

“There’s no question that he will be in the communities”.

Trump at several recent rallies has urged African-American voters to support him, pledging that his public safety and economic policies will improve their quality of life while suggesting that Democrats had taken them for granted. He vowed to make cities safer so that “when you walk down your street. you’re not going to be shot, your child is not going to be shot”.
