Trump shifting back to hard line on illegals

On the other hand, there are signs that Trump – thanks largely to his intensely loyal following-may be able to navigate a minefield that others could not, including former House Speaker John A. Boehner, former House Majority Leader Eric Cantor and several of Trump’s defeated presidential rivals. They have to pay taxes.

Trump said on Thursday that he will be laying out his “exact plan” on immigration over the next week.

The shift, if it sticks, marks a dramatic turnabout for a candidate who repeatedly attacked Bush, Rubio, Sen. His earlier statement that he would deport all illegal immigrants seems to be off the table.

But Trump was saddled with another inflammatory revelation Friday when court papers surfaced showing that an ex-wife of Trump’s new campaign CEO, Stephen Bannon, said Bannon made anti-Semitic remarks when the two battled over sending their daughters to private school almost a decade ago.

Even under tightened new policies, there’s still no guarantee that someone being detained is actually in the country illegally, said county Corrections Director Ed Sweeney. Donald Trump was introduced by Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, Senator Jeff Sessions and former NY mayor Rudy Giuliani. “I don’t think it’s a softening”.

Donald Trump is ramping up his use of a phrase that he once brutally mocked Jeb Bush for using during the Republican primaries. But numerous bill’s actual provisions would be much tougher than Trump’s latest, admittedly sketchy, plan.

Anyone who doubts this should only consider Trump’s idea of an appeal to black voters: “What do you have to lose by trying something new like Trump?” They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. “When they come back in, if they come back in, then they can start paying taxes”. He advocated the same in the GOP primaries. Even where the Trump campaign offers something more specific, like moving from a complete Muslim ban on immigration to “extreme vetting”, a careful review reveals that the new policy is so ambiguous as defy any real analysis.

“Because Hillary Clinton and her running mate, (Tim) Kaine, have promised amnesty to illegal aliens within the first 100 days of a win for them”, Gheen says.

Requests for comment from both the Trump campaign and Conway herself have not yet been returned. In her phone interview with MSNBC, she said she was certain there are no emails or Clinton Foundation ties to foreign entities that would affect her presidential prospects. Though the bill would provide a so-called path to citizenship, following that path would take a long, long time. But antipathy toward Hispanics who are “flooding” across the border, allegedly to take Americans’ jobs and commit terrible crimes, has been a central tenet of Trumpism.

“Everywhere I go I get the same reaction”.

“I would say this – those who are here illegally, those who cross the border illegally – committed the crime. We’re going to go with the laws that are existing, but we’re going to have a very strong border and we’re not going to have people pouring back in”, he said. Trump asked the crowd, which had a mixed reaction. “Don’t say we didn’t warn them”. “I look forward to it”.

“You either have a country or you don’t. We’re going to see what happens”, he said.

“There’s no path to legalization unless they leave the country”, Trump said after an event in Manchester, New Hampshire. But he did not offer any new details on his revised stance.

Trump called for a show of support and the audience registered its approval for the approach to work with immigrants, rather than kick them out.

That being the case, we made a decision to analyze the past six months of Trump’s tweets to see what they could tell us about the frequency with which he tweets, whether he writes a lot of the tweets himself and what time of day he is taking to the social media site. It also expanded programs to allow more legal immigration.

Now, Trump risks having the same problem in the final stretch before the general election.

Donald Trump defended Thursday calling Hillary Clinton a “bigot”, arguing that her policies are a personal reflection because she knows they are destined to fail minority communities. He won the GOP primaries on the strength of an aggressive immigration policy, calling for the immediate deportation of the estimated 11 million people in the US illegally and construction of a Mexican border wall.
