In his campaign’s first gesture of outreach to liberal bloggers, Donald Trump humiliated Ann Coulter on Wednesday night. Nobody should be allowed to come into this country regardless of whether or not they pay taxes. “They have to pay taxes”, he added. “There’s no amnesty, but we work with them”.
Trump said that on his first day in office, he would authorise law enforcement to actively deport “bad dudes”, such as those who have committed crimes, which he said numbered “probably millions”, CNN reported.
“No, there’s not a path to legalization unless people leave the country, if they come back in and then they have to start paying taxes”, he told CNN’s Anderson Cooper in a pre-taped interview from Manchester, N.H.
“So Black folks calm down – this ain’t about us”, Martin said. “He doesn’t want to talk to us, he wants to ignore us”.

But whatever the possible gains, Trump risks offending millions of conservatives. Well, that’s about to be tested, because if there’s one issue that has animated the Republican rank and file over the past decade, it’s immigration. He nearly appeared to be begging for their vote, condescendingly promising to lift them out of poverty and “failed” schools.
Trump supporters on immigrants The results of a Pew Research poll on immigrants was released and the poll, which spoke to 2,010 Americans in all 50 states and the District of Columbia by phone, found that there is a wide difference between what Trump’s supporters feel about immigrants, and what others feel about immigrants. Polls often show that majorities favor letting people illegally in the US stay and also back tougher laws to deport them.
Trump’s comments prompted Coulter to bash him on Twitter for using the same terminology as immigration reform proponents.
“Without the immigration issue, the words “President Trump” would still be a “Simpsons” joke, ‘ ” Krikorian said.
Democrats and immigration-overhaul advocates made the same point.
