Democratic presidential nominee is launching a blistering new attack on Donald Trump after spending the last week fundraising on the West Coast.

Trump also said that he’ll give an immigration speech “over the next week or two” to clarify his wavering stance on the issue.
But Trump appeared to re-iterate his support of deporting the millions of undocumented immigrants in the U.S.in his interview with Cooper, who asked Trump whether undocumented immigrants who have established families and jobs in the United States will be kicked out.
The danger for Trump is clear: Can he persuade his supporters to go along with a new direction on immigration – and pick up some additional voters with a softer tone-or will he belly-flop into the stack of previous Republicans who have been wounded by their changing views? “But there is no path to legalization unless they leave the country and come back”. And as we work our way through this, there will be people lost in the shadows, as others say, years down the road, and it doesn’t trouble me if they live in the shadows and we don’t find them, if they’re not running contrary to the law.
King told CNN’s Chris Cuomo on “New Day” that he urged the Republican presidential nominee – whose position on illegal immigration has been called into question this week – to stick to the policies that he proposed during the GOP primary, which included building a border wall and opposing any form of legal status for undocumented immigrants.
“I don’t know what to believe about a guy who doesn’t believe in things”, Bush said. When Cooper suggested that Trump’s immigration policy is now emulating Jeb Bush, he went bonkers.
“We’re going to see what happens once we strengthen up our border”, he said, noting that if he is president “we’re going to deport many people-many, many people”.
Trump called for a show of support and the audience registered its approval for the approach to work with immigrants, rather than kick them out.
On Wednesday Trump wasted one of his lifelines on an inconclusive poll of a Fox News audience, so now he’s made a decision to go with his gut and revert to his initial answer.
Hillary Clinton hit on Donald Trump’s extremism during a Thursday campaign stop on the campus of Truckee Meadows Community College. She is taking aim at the so-called alt-right movement, a loosely defined and relatively new network of anti-establishment activists on the right that extends from mere outside-the-box protectionist thinkers to flagrantly racist and anti-Semitic hatemongers.
For example, a 2013 Senate plan engineered by Rubio and the “gang of eight”, would have put immigrants on a 13-year pathway toward that goal.
At the same event with Hannity, Trump, who over the weekend met with Hispanic advisers, said about his immigration policies: “There could certainly be a softening because we’re not looking to hurt people”. “I’ve had people say it’s a hardening, actually”.
“Now, everybody agrees we get the bad ones out”, Trump said. The Democratic nominee, who has been working to paint her opponent as fear-mongering and racist, also said that Trump’s “disregard for the values that make our country great is profoundly risky”.
The Hillary Campaign was quick to slam Trump for his remarks on illegal immigration.
