Talk radio host Rush Limbaugh told a caller Monday that there’s nothing in the immigration-position section of Trump’s website that mentions mass deportation, omitting that the candidate had embraced roundups in interviews and GOP debates. In contrast to the moderate, statesmanlike stance he portrayed on his worldwide trip, the speech was filled fiery rhetoric about deportation and “tak [ing] our country back”. “Donald Trump has zero interest in helping with comprehensive immigration reform”. It’s time for border security.

Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Kaine says Donald Trump “choked” by not demanding to Mexico’s president that his country pay for a border wall. “100%. They don’t know it yet but they’re going to pay for the wall”. “We have to remember that we have a country that’s based on laws and the people are here illegally”. That point got a rousing thumbs-up from former Ku Klux Klan Imperial Wizard David Duke.
Trump may try to bridge that gap by pumping the brakes on his immigration shouting points, or he may double down on the nativism Either way, it doesn’t matter much what he says on Wednesday. Branstad, whose son runs Trump’s campaign in the state, said he also hopes Trump would launch campaign ads there and that he sees the race as “about even”.
With Trump’s big immigration speech in Arizona set for later this week, Ma said, “The expectation should be that, as president, he should be able to articulate the policies in a clear manner so that we understand what. he wants to do in terms of the direction of the country as it relates to immigration policy”.
Donald Trump, a parking cone with emotional issues, spent last week indicating that he might be open to “softening” his stances on immigration. Or is he still intent on deporting millions who entered the United States illegally? “I don’t know how he undoes that”.
But it’s possible Trump will glaze over the fate of the 11-plus million undocumented immigrants living in the U.S. in his speech Wednesday despite hammering his bold plans to deport them all throughout the Republican primary – a policy position that drew millions of Republican primary voters to his campaign and helped Trump cast his opponents as weak, ineffective and tied to the failures of Washington.
And, in a sign of Christie’s influence, Trump also said that he was developing an “exit-entry tracking system to ensure those who overstay their visas, that they’re quickly removed” a proposal that Christie made during his own candidacy.
Trump will outline his immigration policy at the city’s convention center on Wednesday evening. “Moved a 1.5 million illegal immigrants out of this country, moved them just beyond the border”. “What they are really concerned about is the general gap and leakage with moderate voters, people who can’t stomach Hillary and are looking to come back to the party”.
By the next morning Trump had again u-turned, explaining that his first priority is to deport all the criminals but that everyone who is here illegally eventually will get the old heave-ho. “Do we take him and the family and her and him or whatever and send him out?”
The next day, he told Fox News’ Sean Hannity that “there could certainly be a softening” of his deportation policy and suggested his administration would “work with” undocumented immigrants, rather than deport them – which would mark a major flip-flop.
Joining the presidential nominee on stage were top Iowa Republicans-among them Ernst, Gov. Terry Branstad, Sen.

“It’s a process. You can’t take 11 (million) at one time and just say ‘boom, you’re gone, ‘” Trump told Cooper.
