But in a meeting with Hispanic activists Saturday, Trump indicated he was open to considering allowing those who have not committed crimes, beyond their immigration offenses, to obtain some form of legal status – though attendees stressed Trump has yet to make up his mind.

“Once donors were writing checks to the campaign, Trump said, ‘Wow, I can get more money personally out of this, ‘” Kaine said at a campaign stop in Denver.
Trump’s pivot turned out to be a 360-degree pirouette: Back into the mud, where he feels most at home.
In all, almost $7.7 million has been paid out to Trump companies or Trump family members to cover campaign expenditures, filings show. It has to be very firm. “We need a change agent”, said Tucker, 64, of Philadelphia.
“If I was a donor, I’d want answers”. He’s made the claim several times, and just a few days ago he got specific, saying he’d win 95% of the black vote in a reelection bid, if he were to become President.
“He’s said exactly the same thing all along: ‘Let’s enforce the law, ‘” Conway told Fox News.
“As far as everybody else, we’re going to go through the process”, he said, citing the policies of President Barack Obama and former President George W. Bush as examples.
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump addresses a campaign event at Fredericksburg Expo Center August 20, 2016, in Fredericksburg, Virginia.
“The conversation about immigration that he would like to have is the one that talks about fairness to everyone”, Conway said.
Trump had been scheduled to deliver a speech on the topic Thursday in Colorado but has postponed it.
If elected, Trump could never actually carry out such a massive campaign of ethnic cleansing.
Campaigning in Akron, Ohio, Monday evening, Trump assured supporters of his plan to build a wall, funded by Mexico, along the southern border.
Despite polling at exactly zero in some states with African Americans, he’s been making his sales pitch to black voters over the past week – and he’s, predictably, being punished for it. “What the hell do you have to lose?”. Trump asked again and again.
“It is better for Trump to attempt to appeal to all voters rather than trying to segment them”, Luntz said.
What Trump said at a Hispanic roundtable in NY on Saturday “differed very little from what he has said publicly”, Conway said, adding that the billionaire also focused on the economic themes that he has made core to his pitch to voters and that he says resonates across demographic lines.
The Trump campaign didn’t comment on either article.
According to the report, Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton has been paying about $212,000 per month for her campaign headquarters in Brooklyn.
Still, some Republicans say Trump is wasting his time going after a demographic that is unlikely to give the GOP nominee a serious look in November.
“In particular, the failure to define Hillary Clinton with key demographics that are absolutely necessary to win the election is beyond malpractice”. “I’m white”, she said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week”.
Trump spoke to black voters about murder rates, which he said were up everywhere.
“The insane part about it is that the Secret Service had already cleared me to be back there, and yet she made a scene and claimed that she didn’t know who I was”, said Jackson. In the latest revelations, the State Department said Monday it is reviewing almost 15,000 previously undisclosed emails.
The new ad reservations include $3 million more for the remainder of August and almost $77 million for September and October in eight states, the aide said. In addition, Clinton is continuing to advertise in the Omaha market in Nebraska, one of only two states that awards its electoral votes based on performance in congressional districts.
Suddenly, the tenor of the Trump campaign makes a whole lot more sense. But thanks to a new filing with the Federal Election Commission, it seems as if the businessman-turned-politician has been using his campaign to pour money into his own companies, and companies run by his children.
