hmmm
as one who actually listened to Trumps speeches:
1. He said he would not support status change from illegal for any people here illegally.
2. He promised to deport all Illegal Aliens that had committed crimes.
3. He promised to secure the border. Even Chis Matthews on MSNBC admitted that you cant have a country without secure boarders.
4. He committed to review Status of remaining Illegal Aliens after 2 and 3 are accomplished.
This has not changed.
It is the standard leftest mantra that just because a person believes that immigration should be legal and controlled by law, that he or she is a hater.
This is what is called a big lie.
It is the leftest that can only justify a position by "feelings". And their favorite feeling is "superiority".

"That idea that Donald Trump is softening his immigration policy: Not going to happen.
The Republican presidential nominee on Wednesday re-upped the harsh immigration rhetoric that electrified his primary campaign, vowing "no amnesty" for undocumented migrants living in the United States and promising to build a "beautiful" and "impenetrable" border wall that Mexico would pay for -- hours after that country's president vowed that it wouldn't.
From a WSJ article dated August 16, 2015:
"Donald Trump is calling for the deportation of millions of immigrants living in the U.S. illegally and for the end of automatic citizenship for children born to foreigners on U.S. soil, adding specifics to the hard-line immigration stance that first helped his Republican presidential campaign take flight."
I see nothing here limiting deportation to those here illegally who have committed crimes. Here are his exact words from last night:
"What we are going to do is get the people that are criminal and have criminal records — gang members, drug dealers — we have a lot of these people, probably 2 million, it could be even 3 million. We're getting them out of our country or we're going to incarcerate. But we're getting them out of our country, they're here illegally."
"After the border is secured, and after everything gets normalized, we're going to make a determination on the people that you're talking about — who are terrific people, they're terrific people. But we're going to make a determination ... but before we make that determination, Leslie, it's very important, we're going to secure our border."
So Trump has gone from deporting about 11 million illegal immigrants to 2-3 million illegal immigrants who have committed crimes.
This is NOT a discussion on illegal immigration. I support enforcing legal immigration. This is a discussion on whether or not Trump will be living up to his campaign "promises".
