Trump Announces ‘Major Speech’ on Immigration

Donald Trump tweeted tonight that he will be making a speech on illegal immigration on Wednesday in Arizona.

During his campaign, Trump has said his first priority upon taking office next January would be the immediate deportation of thousands of illegal immigrants who remain in the United States despite having committed crimes.

After Trump’s call for a mutual release of medical records, some on Twitter questioned whether Trump was similarly willing release his tax records since Clinton released hers this month. Speaking on the Sunday morning news shows, Trump’s supporters didn’t address the matter definitively, signaling that their candidate would clarify his position soon.

“The real issue is look at the two plans”, Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus told NBC’s “Meet the Press“.

On immigration, Conway said on “Fox News Sunday” that Trump has not recently advocated a mass deportation force.

This past week, however, the Republican presidential candidate – once uncompromising in his vow to use a deportation force to repatriate illegal migrants – seemed a little less resolute. In a December debate, she said she supports the establishment of a no-fly zone “to create those safe refuges within Syria”.

Trump said: “The U.S. has become a dumping ground for everybody else’s problems”.

“This is a guy who’s been very consistent on no amnesty, no legalization, for folks who have been coming to the country illegally”, he said.

Asked whether the “deportation force” proposal Trump laid out in November is still in place, Pence replied: “Well, what you heard him describe there, in his usual plainspoken, American way, was a mechanism, not a policy”. “I don’t really see huge up-and-downs and every vote’s gonna count”, Kaufmann said. “Donald Trump will articulate a policy about how we deal with that population”. The outpour of a “softening” Trump led many to wonder what it meant for his pledge to deport 11 million illegal immigrants.

The cycle is set to start again this morning, as the candidate looks to make yet another “pivot” to moderate his positions after a year of inflammatory campaign rhetoric. His allies had also questioned Clinton’s health in recent days.

Trump also previewed his immigration plans at the Iowa event, saying that he was developing an “exit-entry tracking system to ensure those who overstay their visas, that they’re quickly removed”.

Donald Trump is casually preparing for the upcoming presidential debates with informal sessions held at his New Jersey golf course..

But he could not provide clear answers to whether people who have stayed in the country for a considerable period of time having established a family and work history in the country should also be deported. The video itself stretches the truth, leaving the impression that Trump is broadly attacking even legal immigration.

Pence gave a less-than-definitive response to a question on that matter.

While Priebus made it clear that “I just don’t speak for Donald Trump”, he outlined some of what he thinks will be included in Trump’s position. “And this is not a simple question”, said Priebus, who’s had a hard relationship with Trump. As for himself, Priebus said he is “comfortable” with birthright citizenship continuing to be the law. “But I don’t want to spend the entire interview on that one subject”. “I’m going to get to know him”. Advisers said this week would be “education week” for the Trump campaign, where the candidate – who for decades was better known for his discussion of beauty pageant contestants than positions on American school standards – will focus in some depth on the issue of preparing our next generation for college and the workforce.
