“This speech is clearly geared at those individuals right now, to make sure they are there, he has locked them in for the election”. “Americans, particularly Latinos, deserve better than the performance we witnessed tonight from Donald Trump”.

President Enrique Pena Nieto’s meeting with Mexico’s most-disliked man is turning into a public relations disaster for a leader already struggling with historically low popularity ratings.
Donald Trump first promised to “Make America Great Again”.
“They will have one route and one route only”, Trump said. He said that “we will take them great distances” instead of sending them just across the USA border.
“Donald Trump goes down to Mexico, has a very perfectly normal diplomatic engagement with the president of Mexico … and then comes back and gives a very, very sophisticated speech that I think mirrors – I did 170 interviews with active Republican presidential candidates”. Basically, by denying any chance of obtaining the legal status for those who come into the USA illegally, a potential Trump administration would force them to go back to their countries on their own.
For more than an hour, it really seemed as if Trump’s unlikely meeting with Mexican president Peña Nieto came off without a hitch.
Standing next to Pena Nieto, Trump said the topic of who would pay for the wall would be discussed later.
A day after delivering a hard-line speech on immigration, Donald Trump is continuing to stress his America-first approach.
“Donald Trump has made his outlandish policy of forcing Mexico to pay for his giant wall the centerpiece of his campaign”.
Trump, who has repeatedly vowed to build a wall along the border, with Mexico footing the bill, said the issue wasn’t discussed.
The visit was an apparent attempt to portray Trump in a statesmanlike light and to counter Clinton’s claims that he is temperamentally unfit to be President.
Even as he beat a retreat from his earlier pledge to deport all illegal immigrants from the country, Trump’s aggressive tone in Phoenix marked a shift from earlier in the day.
In the highly anticipated speech in Phoenix in Arizona, Trump said, “anyone who has entered the United States illegally is subject to deportation”.
Aimed at ending weeks of confusion over just where he stands on immigration, Trump’s fiery speech was filled with applause lines for his loyal supporters.
(Trump) “Zero tolerance for criminal aliens, zero, zero.” . But his proposed policies for dealing with the estimated 11 million people resident in the U.S. illegally showed just the smallest glimmer of a softening.

Trump also declared that illegal migrants would be unable to obtain legal status or citizenship and must return to their country of origin and apply to re-enter.
