Trump gained popularity with the conservatives after introducing a hardline stance on immigration, with one of his proposals seeing him infamously promise to build a wall along the US-Mexico border.
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said on Saturday he would seek to develop a tracking system to ensure illegal immigrants who overstay their visas are removed from the United States.
Neither would definitively say what Trump would do with immigrants who have not committed any crimes since entering the country illegally.
Trump, whose support comes mainly from whites, is unlikely to be victorious unless he can cut into that support. But he did not elaborate on Trump’s plan. “The deportation force, I would like to address that”. On Sunday morning’s Fox News Sunday, Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway cleared things up like a batch of expired Valtrex.
“He will look at that”. He hasn’t mentioned that since last November, I think in a few of the debates as you point out.
“Donald Trump will articulate what we do with the people who are here”.
“A vote for Trump is a vote to have a nation of laws, a vote for Clinton is a vote for open borders”, he stressed. Fully enforcing the law would essentially mean carrying out mass deportations.
Conway said, “I pledge to you and everybody who is watching, Those events are actually being planned”.
She added: “He has to deal with those agencies already responsible for this who are not doing their jobs”.
The campaign remained at odds with the Republican Party over birthright citizenship, the constitutional right to American citizenship for any individual born in the US.
On NBC’s “Meet the Press”, Priebus was asked what Trump’s position is on undocumented immigrants.
“You’re going to hear in more detail in the next two weeks that lays out all the policies”, Pence said. “I believe in the interpretation of the Supreme Court on the issue”.
Spokespeople for Trump did not respond to a request for comment on his current view on birthright citizenship.
Indeed, even the Sunday-show moderators appeared to be taken slightly aback by the Trump campaign’s late-campaign maneuvering on immigration.
Mr Trump sought to clarify his views on how to overhaul the U.S. immigration system after saying earlier in the week that he was softening on his plan to deport all 11 million illegal immigrants.
