Donald Trump mulling Mexico trip
But while Trump was in the air, the drama that never seems far from his campaign resurfaced.

The speech comes mere hours after he appeared with Mexico’s president, Enrique Peña Nieto, where he was much more restrained.
Trump had earlier denied the two discussed who would foot the bill for a wall.
Many Mexicans felt the Republican candidate had left Pena Nieto flat-footed by accepting an invitation that Pena Nieto had made simply for appearances’ sake. But Mr Trump also expressed his desire to give local law enforcement the ability to round up immigrants with criminal backgrounds under his “zero tolerance” policy. He pledged “cooperation” toward shared objectives, a “deep and sincere” bond, and a “close and honest relationship” between the two countries in pursuit of “mutual good”.
For its part, the Los Angeles based La Opinion said it was hard to understand why Mr Trump had been invited to Mexico “especially after all the insults the latter has spewed against Mexican immigrants and Mexico’s leaders”.
Yet in tonight’s speech, Trump was confident that he would come around. This Trump doppelganger spoke instead about “improving NAFTA” and making sure it’s “updated”.
“Mexico will pay for the wall, 100 percent”, the NY businessman said.
“They must be afraid he might win, and so they’re saying, ‘Just in case, we’ll shake his hand”, Garnica said. “US paid them $3 billion”, Trump tweeted about the escape of the biggest Mexican drug lord.
Alas, within hours, he was back to his xenophobic self.
President Enrique Pena Nieto awoke to a storm of criticism from Mexicans over his decision to meet Wednesday with Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, who is widely reviled in Mexico for referring to its migrants as rapists and criminals.
But Trump, having completed his photo op with the Mexican president, discarded the “friend” he had apparently just used as a prop. Trump landed in Phoenix for what was supposed to be a detailed “policy address” on immigration but was a familiar, nativist rant.
Seeking to end confusion over his aggressive but recently muddled language on immigration, Donald Trump vowed Wednesday to remove millions of people living in the country illegally if he becomes president, warning that failure to do so would jeopardize the “well-being of the American people”.
“A whole range of topics were discussed in the meeting and the subject of the wall was discussed, but getting into the details and negotiations about paying for the wall, it really wasn’t that kind of a meeting”, he said during an interview on CNN Wednesday night. “They don’t know it yet, but they’re going to pay for the wall”.
He said any person living in the country illegally who is arrested for any crime whatsoever will immediately be placedinto deportation proceedings.
Trump’s trip to Mexico was something of a Hail Maria, as polls show Democratic rival Hillary Clinton with a yuuge advantage and Democrats with a better than even chance of taking back the Senate.
If the Trump campaign had hinted at a change in any other position (other than maybe that of Melania as his primary wife) it would have been a minor news story. Earlier in the campaign, Trump also downplayed the heroism of Arizona Sen. John McCain, a POW, citing his capture during the Vietnam War. She lost by 13 points. “It is our right as a sovereign nation to choose immigrants that we think are the likeliest to thrive and flourish and love us”, Trump said. Beruff lost by 54 points. If his core supporters were anxious – and if the rest of Americans were reassured – that he was softening his hard-line position, they had to wait only until he spoke in Phoenix on Wednesday night. “Mexican nationals in the United States are honest people, working people”, he said. Watching a seemingly castrated Trump in front of the leader of the nation he got nominated largely by demeaning was quite something.
“We need a system that serves our needs – remember, it’s America First, to choose immigrants based on merit, skill and proficiency and to establish new immigration controls to boost wages and to ensure that open jobs are offered to American workers first”. “We will work together and we will get those problems solved”. “Under a Trump administration, it’s called America First”. There will be no amnesty!.

He did not commit to deporting every undocumented immigrant living in the U.S. as he previously had, but vowed that immigrants living in the U.S. illegally would never have a path to legal status under his presidency.
