Pence: Trump's Mexico meeting could set up immigration talks
By Al Weaver (@alweaver22) • 8/31/16 8:47 AM

Republican vice presidential nominee Mike Pence predicted Wednesday that Donald Trump's meeting with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto could help set the stage for immigration talks between the two nations at some point, and called it "the beginning of a conversation."

"Well, I think it's going to be a meeting between two leaders. I know that Donald Trump was grateful for the invitation, and like any good leader, he knows that good negotiations begin with good relationships, so what I think the American people are seeing today is the kind of decisive president Donald Trump will be," Pence said on CNN.

"He gets an invitation late last week from the president of Mexico and essentially drops what he's doing to sit down, have a private conversation and begin a relationship where we can talk about the issues that we've got to resolve between the United States and Mexico, but also about the issues that we're both struggling with in common," Pence said. "Today is really the beginning of a conversation. Negotiations will follow this, but it all proceeds out of relationships."

Trump's meeting is set to take place only hours before he will deliver a highly anticipated speech in Arizona on immigration, which comes after deviations from him and his campaign on the issue, particularly on what to do with the 11 million illegal immigrants. In the past, Trump has called for a "deportation force" to remove them, but he made waves when he indicated he was willing to bend on that issue.

More than likely it will set up his final immigration walk back in his speech tonight.

Yep.  He's going to use this "private meeting" as an excuse to punt on immigration "until after the election."

Meeting in Mexico first, then giving a speech afterwards, tells me that his immigration policy will be "softening".

Set up negotiations at some point??  Meeting between two leaders??  Trump IS NOT president therefor, he cannot negotiate anything on behalf of the U.S.  The only thing it indicates to me is Trump will do whatever he wants without the consent of Congress; he doesn't understand the duties of the president, nor the duties of Congress and ultimately he doesn't recognize the Constitution.

He is a narcissistic demagogue. If by some fluke he becomes president, he will be a dictator; he will negotiate and make deals to benefit Donald J. Trump; not the American people.  IMHO he's probably laying the groundwork for the North American Union and the NAFTA Superhighway.  To think that he's not a globalist or wouldn't make 'trade deals' that would benefit his empire is one of the biggest mistakes people make when evaluating Trump.
