Trump postponed plans to give an immigration policy speech in Denver on Thursday.
On Monday night, Trump explained how he would address nonviolent illegal immigrants. He kicked off his campaign by saying that Mexico was sending criminals and rapists into the country, vowed that Mexico would pay for his planned border wall, and called for the “mandatory return of all criminal aliens”.
“We want to come up with a really fair, but firm answer”.
Trump told ‘Fox and Friends Monday morning: ‘We have to be very firm.
“We’ll look back and say, ‘Why in the world didn’t Hillary Clinton’s campaign totally put us away in those two weeks?'” Conway said. “And I think he’s going to get this thing back on track”, Reince Priebus, the Republican National Committee chairman, said Sunday. We’re going to get them out.
After telling Bill O’Reilly that the “bad ones” would be deported immediately”, Trump then added: “As far as everybody else, we’re going to go through the process. “You’ll be able to walk down the street without being shot”, Trump said.
