As she prepares for the first presidential debate next month, Hillary Clinton told donors on Monday that the face-off will be a crucial moment in the fall campaign and that Donald Trump is an unpredictable adversary.

“I will be making a major speech on ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION on Wednesday in the GREAT State of Arizona”. The latest polls show Trump trailing Democrat Hillary Clinton in many of those battlegrounds as well – and Clinton and her allied super PAC have already pulled ads from Virginia and Colorado in a sign of confidence.
The GOP nominee’s public schedule does not yet have any events listed for Wednesday, Aug. 31.
The speech was initially set for last Thursday in Phoenix, but was pushed back as Trump and his team wrestled over the details of what he would propose.
Trump had suggested he might be “softening” on the deportation force and that he might be open to allowing at least some immigrants in the country illegally to stay, as long as they pay taxes. Trump even questioned whether those born in the United States to people here illegally are citizens – even though they have automatically been considered citizens since the adoption of the constitution’s 14th Amendment in 1868.
Trump has focused lately on deporting people who are in the USA illegally and who have committed crimes.
“The margin has narrowed since her post-convention bounce, but Clinton is holding onto an underlying advantage over Trump among key voting blocs”, said Patrick Murray, director of the Monmouth polling institute.

“I just don’t speak for Donald Trump”, Reince Priebus said Sunday. But whom Trump considers a criminal remains unclear. “How much more crime, how many more shootings, will it take for African-Americans and Latinos to vote Trump=SAFE!” It will focus on his economic message, contrasting his approach with Clinton’s.
