At a campaign event today at the U.S.-Mexico border, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump left the door open to amnesty. He did so at a press conference on the border: ...

That nutball Shep tried to insinuate Trump changed positions but he was not focusing on Trump’s altercation with Jose Diaz Balart. Shepherd was in his own world seriously. Why I avoid him.
he was asked what he would do about the “11 million” illegal aliens already here..
He said build the wall we’ll talk about what to do with them later..stop more illegal aliens from coming in..
he never mentioned AMNESTY..
he went on to assure people he was not against IMMIGRAQNTS coming here..legally..
he said LEGAL IMMIGRATION...
Total BS article and headline. Trump said we need to secure the border and then we can talk. Then said next. Wow. Media is desperate.
I think this was when he first arrived in Laredo and there were people trying to get him to say something they could twist...
Not sure where you got the ‘amnesty’ word but nothing in the video or the link suggests he’s interested in ‘amnesty’.
I think there are lots of pols and people interested in letting those here now find a way to stay here legally.
I, for one, am 100% against that simply because they broke our sovereign laws to enter illegally. To reward that behavior is reprehensible plain and simple.
The larger problem is anchor babies. No one should be a citizen simply because they got hatched here. It’s a huge part of the problem with our immigration system IMHO.
Number one. Secure the border as close to 100% as humanly possible. Number two. Fix the anchor baby loophole. Number three. All those here illegally MUST go home and apply for entry. No exceptions. If those who whine and bitch about separating families say anything about it; just let them know there is nothing stopping the anchor babies from going home with the illegal parents. It would likely be a good thing. They could get to know their home country and maybe decide to stay there and make it better rather than coming here to trash America.
Just sayin’. I’m so sick of this huge issue being swept under the rug by so many Presidents.
If Trump said he would like to walk on Mars, it would be rhetorical speech but ridiculed by liberals. If John Kennedy had said the same thing, we would have Mars Base Caroline and Mars Base John John by now.
It is the most correct answer for the time.
First things first.
From the link....
“The first thing we have to do is strengthen our borders,” Trump started.
The reporter interrupted, “But after that — after that.”
“And after that we’re going to have plenty of time to talk about it,” Trump said, failing to answer the question and then hastily ending his press conference. “Thank you very much. Thank you everybody.”
Trump has not made clear how as president of the United States he would deal with the illegal immigrants already in this country. Today’s press conference left the door open for some sort of amnesty in the future.
You have to give them a path
I hereby INSIST the follow the same path.....on their way OUT...that they did on their way IN
“Trump Suggests He May Be Open to Amnesty, EveningStar wrote:”
It suggests that he didn’t want to sound bite an answer to that type of question.
Taking it on a ‘case by case’ basis is NOT blanket amnesty.
Sheesh.
Today’s press conference left the door open for some sort of amnesty in the future.

Boy, is that a stretch. Left the door open for ..... amnesty in the future????? I don’t think so.
He just shut the media down.
Thank you for that! Heard this AM that he had discussed this and have given it a good deal of thought today as to why when he has been so strong on just the opposite. Figures..the press lies again.
I agree. Build the damn wall, fill it with electronics, and make it as impenetrable as technologically and physically possible.
Then we'll talk about the rest.
That is EXACTLY the right answer.
Cruz approach. Flawless.
Headline is a bald face lie.
sad.
Him and Cruz have been soft on this. No amnesty - ever.
