...he was for amnesty before he was against it...

...from the No. 1 defender of deportation. At the end of June, speaking to the press in Chicago and after saying he "heard you probably have 30 million" illegal aliens in America, Trump contended:
"You have to give them a path, and you have to make it possible for them to succeed. You have to do that. But the bad ones, and there are bad ones, you have to get out, and you have to get them out fast."

...Trump, interviewed by Newsmax's Ron Kessler, blasted Mitt Romney's "crazy policy of self-deportation." It was "maniacal," he said, contending it cost the Republican "all of the Latino vote" and adding "he lost everybody who is inspired to come into this country."
Trump told Kessler that the Republicans must develop comprehensive immigration reform "to take care of this incredible problem that we have with respect to immigration, with respect to people wanting to be wonderful, productive citizens of this country."

..."The Democrats didn't have a policy for dealing with illegal immigrants, but what they did have going for them is they weren't mean-spirited about it. ... What they were is they were kind."

Trump sneered, "Jeb (Bush) is a very nice person" and "Jeb said when they come across the southern border, they come as an act of love." But Trump's reference to immigrants, legal and illegal, as "people wanting to be wonderful, productive citizens of this country" sounds awfully similar.
"I have a very hard-line position,"... ..."People that have come into our country illegally, they have to go."
"They have to go" is quite a flipflop from the "you have to give them a path" position that Trump took only five and a half months ago.

Really well said.
You didn’t hurt mine, you have no control over that, lol.
Great question. I don’t know either. I don’t trust any of them but I do support those who adhere to what I think is most important at the time in our history.
I didn’t agree with Bush II on everything but I’m glad he was President rather than Gore or Kerry. Our Country would have been worse off with either of those two. Obama kept his promises...he fundamentally transformed America. He’s not stupid or clueless. He’s doing exactly what he said he’d do with the help of our Congress, Judicial Branch, and of course the Media.
Why should I trust any of them? I don’t. Not Trump or Cruz and certainly not any of the others. I trust Trump and Cruz more than the others and in that order. I guess we go with what we know.
Nice, you posted an article based on a spliced and edited CNN video. This is a load of crap!
Here is a video (JULY 27TH) where he makes the same exact arguments to Hannity that he has been all along.

I don't think I posted any articles on this thread. I just made a couple of comments. I think your post is directed to the wrong person here.
Trump is just another politician, saying whatever he thinks his audience wants to hear.
As recently as August, Trump was taking pro-amnesty positions, saying “you have to give them a path” and “make it possible for them to succeed here.”
We don’t want to hold against him the fact that he’s conscious of putting up a good front. I’m personally pleased that he’s peddling a lot of what I like —in severe contrast to say Ms. Clinton and M. Sanders.
Oh, the establishment pukes, the media pukes and the anti-Trump brigade here on FR are getting frantict!
