Donald Trump expected to address immigrant deportation plan in Colorado visit

The Republican candidate, perhaps unaware of what’s he’s said in the recent past, responded, “I said that it’s something that has been done at a very strong manner”.

“There certainly can be a softening, because we’re not looking to hurt people … but we’re going to follow the laws of this country”, he said. “What I’m doing is following the law”.

Maybe Donald Trump has changed his position on immigration, and maybe he hasn’t.

GOP officials insist presidential nominee Donald Trump is finally hitting his stride and will catch up with Democrat Hillary Clinton by around Labor Day.

Conway told Britain’s Channel 4 that the polls showing Trump behind are “cherry-picked polling numbers that are put out there by media outlets that are also bent on his destruction”.

A Trump campaign source said the campaign made a decision to push back Trump’s immigration speech as it is still fine-tuning its immigration policy and the speech’s language. One man said he wanted them to pay taxes, work and learn English.

Trump also gave a vague preview of his new immigration policy, which is slated to be unveiled next week.

“When your family, your business, your American Dream is attacked outright by a buffoon with a national microphone, there’s no kiss and make up”, he said.

“Donald Trump has been disciplined and mature. No speech will change that”.

Some of those attending the event, however, liked that Trump might be offering a more expansive view on immigration. Jeff Sessions, a longtime ally of Trump’s, emphasized that “there’s not going to be mass round-ups and that kind of thing” in the Republican nominee’s immigration plan.

Clinton said she doesn’t question Trump’s health – she believes he’s “healthy as a horse”. He said he will have a “really fair but firm answer” to the immigration issue, but didn’t elaborate.

She said this was not due to his personality, but “because of his three main issues: immigration, ending the job-killing trade deals and ending these endless, pointless wars in the Middle East”.

At rallies this week, Trump has continued to trumpet his plan to build a border wall and force Mexico to pay for it, and he campaigned in Texas on Tuesday with the mothers of people killed by immigrants in the country illegally.

Jose Fuentes, a Trump supporter and the former attorney general of Puerto Rico, was at the roundtable with Trump on Saturday, and said he did not walk away with the interpretation that Trump was open to legalization for some undocumented immigrants.

On Monday night, Trump said in an interview with Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly that he would immediately deport any illegal immigrants who are violent criminals or gang members, something that’s already happening in many cases. In 2012, Immigration and Customs Enforcement set a record of removing 409,000 immigrants.
