For months now, Donald Trump has spouted the same line on immigration, promising to build a border wall and deport people here illegally. Last night, he admitted he would not deport the 11 million people in the United States illegally....
Trump appeared on Sean Hannity's show.... Here's the key transcript:
"We had a board meeting [at the New York Times], it was off-the-record, suddenly they leak it..." Trump said."They said it's negotiable on the wall," Hannity said...
"By the way it is negotiable. Things are negotiable," Trump said.
Trump was quick to add that the negotiation does not include nixing the idea altogether.
"Building it? Not negotiable."
"Would it be negotiable about the 11 million?" Hannity pressed. "Maybe let some people stay if they register in a period of time?"
"I would say this," Trump added, "we will work out some system that's fair, but we either have a country or we don't. We need a border. We need a wall."
Here's Rubio at the CNN debate last week:
before we do anything on immigration, we are going to secure the border. And, that's not just the physical border with Mexico, it's Visa overstays. That's 45 percent of the problem right there.It also has to do -- that's why we need e-verify, and entry-exit tracking system, and so-forth. And, until that happens, we're not doing anything else. And then we'll see what the American people are willing to support";
Those are exactly the same positions - build the wall, then figure out what to do with the people already here. There is literally no daylight between the Rubio and Trump positions on immigration.

I'll vote my candidate and you vote yours.
Your attempts at swaying me or anyone else are akin to Charles Manson convincing everyone he's sane.
I don’t know where you have been the past couple months, or ever the past couple weeks, Cruz is the establishment. Sorry I was the one that had to break the news to you. Also, Santa Clause is fake too.
Sorry about that one as well, but someone had to inform you.
My guess is that come Nov, we’ll vote for the same person.
You don't know what you are talking about.
Ted has talked good things
Trump has built good things
We don’t need another talker in the White House
And we don’t need another lawyer, the last thing we need
I did not think you would be honest enough to check it out. It was 28 years ago, and Trump saying the exact same on that interview that he is saying now.
“Did you read the article?”
Did not have to; I listened to the interview myself.
We don't need another person in the White House who thinks current immigration law is unfair to the millions of "good" illegal aliens in the country.
The boogie man is not Trump.
Apparently the transcript lies then.
Exactly why we don’t need Cruz
He promised Texas a wall 4 years ago, where is it?
He will say anything to get elected, he proved that
"We can nominate a Washington deal maker, profane and vulgar, who has a lifelong pattern of using government power for personal gain. Or we can nominate a proven conservative who has fought consistently for working men and women and to defend the Constitution." -Senator Cruz
