Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump says he’s planning a speech Wednesday on illegal immigration.

Trump had planned to address the issue last week in Colorado, but postponed that event.
Early on in his campaign, Trump advocated deporting the roughly 11 to 12 million immigrants in the United States, and said that they could only re-enter the country through the legal process.
Garza said that question still holds true as Hispanic voters – as well as the rest of the country – watches Trump’s speech in Arizona Wednesday.
“On Day One, I am going to begin swiftly removing criminal illegal immigrants from this country – including removing the hundreds of thousands of criminal illegal immigrants that have been released into USA communities under the Obama-Clinton Administration”, the Republican nominee stated.
Unlike all the other candidates who merely praise the legacy of Ellis Island as a way to avoid the actual policy questions, Trump was moving the discussion back to brass tacks.
Trump believes that limiting illegal immigration would help America with unemployment.
Donald Trump is an expert in branding himself and his “ideas” for the millions of people who don’t follow politics closely: Do it in the most blunt way possible. In front of an audience in Detroit, Trump said, “I’m changing”. And they didn’t bother defending his initial response Saturday to the killing of a mother as she walked her baby on a Chicago street.
Tapper attempted to clarify whether or not Trump would still remove the millions of illegal immigrants now living in America using a “deportation force”, not just those who have committed violent crimes. Any discussion of inconsistencies, they suggested, reflected media focus on the wrong issue.
The Indiana governor, Conway and other surrogates said the main tenets of Trump’s immigration plan still will include building a wall along the southern US border and making Mexico pay for it, no path to legalization or citizenship for people here illegally and stronger border enforcement. While he has not wavered on his desire to build an impenetrable wall along the border with Mexico, he exhibited indecisiveness in recent days about his plan to deport 11 million immigrants living in the USA illegally.
Yet according to Pence, who said Trump has been “absolutely consistent” on immigration, “there will be no path to legalization, no path to citizenship unless people leave the country”.
Trump’s campaign also announced on Sunday a $10 million-plus buy for ads to air in nine competitive states starting Monday.
In an interview with CNN last week, his new campaign manager Kellyanne Conway said the question of whether he would create a deportation force was “to be determined”.
Clinton said the private Clinton Foundation’s charitable programs would continue if she’s elected, even as Trump and other critics argue they would present a conflict of interest.
And he said he would stop illegal immigrants getting welfare benefits.
In one case, the chairman of the Republican National Committee refused to speak for the GOP nominee at all. Undocumented immigrants taking those jobs, Trump said, means Americans are being denied that protection.
When I go through and I meet thousands and thousands of people on this subject, and I’ve had very strong people come up to me, really great, great people come up to me, and they’ve said, “Mr. Trump, I love you, but to take a person who’s been here for 15 or 20 years and throw them and their family out, it’s so tough, Mr. Trump”.
The new investment comes amid signs that Trump’s lagging poll numbers may be improving against Clinton’s following a campaign reboot.
