Trump to Soften his EXTREME Immigration Positions?
Donald Trump has made news for his extreme positions on immigration, including vilifying Mexican immigrants as criminals, calling for a “big beautiful wall” along the US/Mexico border, advocating “extreme vetting” of Muslim immigrants, and more. Now, he may be moderating his tune. Is he or isn’t he?
Jay Solomon of the Wall Street Journal reports that Trump’s campaign suggested yesterday that the Republican presidential candidate is prepared to soften his stance on immigration.
Trump has made a tough stand on immigration a signature issue of his campaign, pledging among other things to create a “deportation force” to rapidly remove some of the country’s estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants. On Sunday, his new campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, dialed back on that pledge, suggesting the deportation force might not be set up after all. Asked on CNN if Mr. Trump would mobilize this deportation force in the White House, Ms. Conway responded: “To be determined.”
Stay tune to see if Trump pivots on immigration as the election nears.
