Priebus: Trump will deliver major immigration address

By Alexander Bolton

Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Reince Priebus announced Sunday that Donald Trump, the GOP’s presidential nominee, will deliver prepared remarks clarifying his views on immigration.

“You’re going to find out from Donald Trump very shortly. He’s going to be giving prepared remarks on this issue, I think very soon,” Priebus told Chuck Todd, host of NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

“His position is going to be tough. His position is going to be fair. His position is going to be humane,” he said.

After meeting with Hispanic leaders in mid-August, Trump suggested that he may soften his position on deporting an estimated 11 million illegal immigrants living in the country.

But he later told CNN’s Anderson Cooper that he had not softened his stance.

“I’ve had people say it’s a hardening, actually,” Trump told Cooper.

Priebus said Trump won’t back away from his core immigration position: building a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

"He’s going to build and complete the border wall that was set in place in 2006 by Congress. It’s going to be paid for. I believe that he’s going to, when he talks about deportation, he’s going after people who are here that are criminals.”

Trump is looking more closely at the question of what to do about millions of illegal immigrants living in the country.

Last November, he floated the possibility of creating a “deportation force” to roust them from American communities, but many policy experts view this approach as highly impractical. It has also sparked a backlash from Hispanic voters.

Priebus said Sunday that questions about the deportation force are among “the things that Donald Trump is going to answer.”

Priebus: Trump will deliver major immigration address

By Alexander Bolton

I am very much looking forward to this so that his supporters, to defend his sellout,  have to come here and other sites to publicly admit they, Like Trump, are Pro Amnesty. Lets see who these people REALLY are. They cannot support a candidate campaigning on letting illegals stay because 'reasons' and convince anyone they are any different in actual function than a Democrat or member of LaRaza.

[Suppressed]

He should deliver it from the middle of the Rio Grande.

[Just_Victor]

We should start a game of Trump immigration policy bingo.

Too easy. His ever-shifting positions would blackout the card. What would be more interesting is to play it with which so called conservative will tie themselves into a knot making excuses for how polar opposites are REALLY the same thing.

"It's going to be the toughest and most pro-America amnesty in history, it'll be great and you'll love it, you will love it and it'll be great, I do not repeat myself, I do not repeat myself. It'll be the most America first amnesty there ever was! Believe me! Believe me!"

And the illegal transgenders will come out of the shadows! And pay back taxes! And stuff! And we can make sure religious bigots can rot in jails because I love Jesus! And Stuff!

Because...CONSERVATISM!

God Bless America...

Crowds of imbeciles will swoon to his every idiotic utterance.

Wonder if it will start with....   "You know that wall I've been talking about?, well........."

Trump doesn't need to create a deportation force, he just needs to allow the one that exists to to its job properly...

I'm not expecting a lot of change here, perhaps just a more nuanced way of saying what he already said, almost a year ago.

[Suppressed]

What incentive does he have to preach amnesty? I think he'll push his "no amnesty" façade, and add "compassion touches".  He's seen that he can't go amnesty now.

[Wingnut]

GOP’s presidential nominee, will deliver prepared remarks clarifying his views on immigration.

In what color crayon did they write his prepared statement?  Hope it has nice pictures in the margins too.

When you tell the kicking and screaming child on the floor of the supermarket "No, you can't have the candy bar," the child then screams louder.

At best, trump will simply lie more boldly and then take his revenge when the opportunity presents itself. He will reverse course on some position he was OK with just to spite. Thats how bad CEOs operate in the workplace as well. So he's well versed in that.

Is there no topic the GOP can address besides shady foreigners coming to kill us or take our jobs?  Yeah, I know immigration is an issue people care about ... but it's one of many, and the focus makes for a racially sectarian, paranoid campaign.  Maybe Hillary was right when she said the alt-right was taking over the party.

[RedHead]

Whoop-dee-do.  If it's like his economic address and his foreign policy address it's going to be a bunch of platitudes interspersed with "I will be releasing details in the coming weeks".  Well both those "speeches" are a couple of weeks old and we still haven't seen any details.

She was right and she should know because it her and her husband that launched the takeover.

Think back to when the left began infiltrating all aspects of the conservative Right. The Churches, the House. Back to when Alphabet agencies like the FBI/CIA began being purged and replaced in large numbers with cronies and fellow travelers. Back to when the military went from an LBJ social experiment in a couple areas to a full on petri dish. Back to when the GOP began actively pushing out traditionalists and embracing the tenets of progressivism OPENLY.

All these things happened with a Clinton sitting high up the DC food chain and it is no coincidence. It's history.

Please cite a single example, with a source, where Trump has said or done anything "nuanced."

He can't even put together a string of words that make a coherent sentence.

Why in the world do you expect him to come out with a "nuanced"  policy statement?

Every day and in every way.....the Trump camp will prove that what he said about shooting someone on Fifth Avenue and not deterring his loyal sycophants is the truth.  And when he goes back on the final "wall" campaign promise, they'll be parsing, spinning and defending that too.

[Oceander]

Hmmm, let's see.  If you want to know more or less what he's going to say, just go read the discussions regarding the Gang of Eight immigration reform.  What the reviled gang of eight said back then - for which they were branded as traitors - is what Trump will be saying now.

Trumpkins are such suckers.

Yup. We/many of us, myself among them, made the mistake of believing the Bushes weren't complete fellow travelers. I'll give them credit. They did pull a few good moves, but ultimately it was just cover. Incrementalism. 'Lesser Evil".

Ultimately they were on Team Liberal all along.

idiots, imbeciles, and suckers,....
Sounds like personal attacks to me.....

Cut it out
