Trump postpones immigration speech

(CNN)-Donald Trump is postponing a major immigration speech he was set to deliver Thursday in Colorado as his campaign continues to fine-tune his immigration policy. The decision came after Trump, whose hardline immigration policies appealed to many GOP primary voters, met Saturday with his Hispanic advisory council and said in an interview Monday morning that he wants to "come up with a really fair, but firm" immigration policy.

Trump denied in an interview Monday morning on Fox News that he was "flip-flopping" on the issue of illegal immigration. A Trump campaign source said the campaign decided to push back Trump's immigration speech as it is still fine-tuning its immigration policy and the speech's language.

No. Can’t just deport criminals. Not fair to those who came legally and those in line. No. No. No.

He was certainly the first of the candidates to recognize it as a real problem.

Certainly criminals should be shown the door. No second offense. They do not need a trial. No papers...bye bye.

You have to be realistic.

The Federal government mandates we provide education for ALL through 12th grade.

So I came here when I was 3 and lived with an aunt who was born in the US, went to your schools, am working for IBM....and you're going to send me back?

There has to be several items on how we treat this.

But if you got here last year with no papers...you go back.

You just can't round up 11,000,000 immigrants and show them the door.

...pledge to honor our laws and culture in the future...

So, just say "my bad, it won't happen again"? How about a Get Out Of Jail Free Card for those of us who have been law-abiding citizens for our entire lives? Their first official act in our country is to break our laws...our sovereignty....but we'll overlook it, because we just need them so darn bad?

If you read the excerpt it says he “wants to come up with” a plan. That means it doesn’t exist.

The word “fair” doesn’t appear in any of the text you posted.

Lastly, “fair” is a huge Socialist code-word, like “We all need to pay our fair share.”

We’ll know pretty soon what happens.

That’s what i’m talking about. I dont care if he promises to turn straw into gold as long as he gets elected.

I dont see him needing to change anything to win but I dont have access to his internals and i’ve never run an election before.

Deportation of all was never going to happen. Change the laws and watch them go home is always the best way. No citizenship, no papers, no job. The same for welfare, housing, social security, long term medical, bank accounts and loans.

“I’ll take Sessions word over CNN’s ponderings.”

CNN is one of the last places a person would go to for it they want the truth.

Good point.

I guess I’m starting to have “conservative” Bush immigration flashbacks.

If he gives an INCH on the wall or on the deportations then I’ll just STAY HOME.

I’ll also encourage others to not vote for him.

NOT ONE INCH.

After all the leaked DNC emails proving absolute collusion between the dem party and the media, I have no idea why anyone on FR, or sane people anywhere, trust ANYTHING the media says.

Read my comment above, quoting DJT’s entire Immigration positions. There’s a lot more that can be done, even with current laws just being enforced (for a change).

CNN lies.

The time for wailing and gnashing of teeth is when, and only when, Mr. Trump demonstratively goes back on his word.

Otherwise, it’s just playing into the liberals hands.

Of course criminals can be deported. I assume amihow was being sarcastic.
