The Indiana governor, Conway and other surrogates said the main tenets of Trump’s immigration plan still will include building a wall along the southern US border and making Mexico pay for it, no path to status adjustment or citizenship for people here illegally and stronger border enforcement. This is part of the agenda-setting power that presidential candidates have. “Bring them back where they came from”.

Trump has suggested that minorities have been left behind by Democratic economic policies and hammered the nation’s sluggish GDP growth as “a catastrophe”.
Trump’s first tweet about the shooting ended this way: “Just what I have been saying”. “And then he wants to look at this situation and deal with it in a humane way”.
I appreciate the concerns that people have expressed, and thats why I have made it clear that if Im successful in November we are going to be taking additional steps, she said.
Ali Vitali points out that Trump has been adding to his immigration plan but is still offering only vague details on his view of deportations. The candidate himself added to the confusion this week, telling Fox News “there certainly could be a softening, because we’re not looking to hurt people”, before telling CNN the next day that he doesn’t “think it’s a softening.you know it’s a process”.
But while the Trump campaign attempted to stay on its talking points, attacking Hillary Clinton’s proposal to create a pathway to citizenship for immigrants living in the USA without permission, there were still discrepancies among some of the Republican nominee’s surrogates.
The GOP nominee faced backlash over the weekend for a tweet he posted about the death of National Basketball Association star Dwyane Wade’s cousin. “He’s been saying that for as long as I’ve been listening to him of late, and that’s what he’s going to do”.
Trump sought again on Saturday to draw African-American voters – a reliably Democratic demographic – to his campaign, noting that “Republicans are the party of Abraham Lincoln” and arguing that minorities would benefit from his presidency.
Trump later followed up with a second tweet sending the family his condolences. “They are in my thoughts and prayers”, he wrote.
More than half the people outside the government who met with Hillary Clinton while she was secretary of state gave money, either personally or through companies or groups, to the Clinton Foundation. “We haven’t had that from the current president”.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said the media “focus on process. instead of the message”. Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, a former chief of staff to Democratic President Barack Obama, has struggled in particular to contain violence in his city.
The gun violence is not unique to Chicago or NY. Last week, an 8-year-old girl died from injuries suffered from a stray bullet.
Clinton’s favorability rating also dropped; she only has a one point lead on the Republican nominee in the race.
The poll average has Clinton at 48.4 percent and Trump at 42.1 percent.
At the same event, he referenced Clinton’s use of the term “super predators” in 1996 to describe violent criminals, a term widely seen as racist and that Clinton has said she regretted using.

Donald Trump’s greatest problem this election is a massive loss of Catholic voters, including Irish Catholics, to Hillary Clinton, a just released polling shows. The fact is that she’s been the person who has started this type of conversation in the campaign.
