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.

Waiting for someone to claim how brilliant this is and that Trump is a genius who’s playing the media like a fiddle.
We don't know how much of it is negotiable and how much, if any, is non-negotiable.
First of all it was meeting, there were press people there, and questions were asked and answered, Cruz had one, Rubio had one, almost all front runners have these types of meetings...
Second of all, when your invited to a meeting like this, it's ‘off the record’ and is suppose to stay that way, but Trump knowing the press the way he does, gave just a ‘hint’ so to see who would ‘leak’ and sure enough, here's Buzz feed and NYSlimes off and running, which he knew would happen, that's the purpose of them being invited...
You can bet from now on, since Trump knows his plan worked, they won't be invited again...hence...his remarks from the other say: ‘ I feel there should be ‘libel’ laws in place so the MSM and talking heads can't just print lies’ and that was all there is to the ‘hint’ he dropped, plan worked just as Trump thought it would...
Have you heard from any other ‘news’ people all of what was in that meeting? No, just people picking up from Buzz Feed and the NYSlimes...good luck with all of that, you really feel stupid now don't you? (meaning the MSM)
That lifelong pro-choice DEM, pro-socialized medicine, pro-eminent domain, 9/11 truther, tax-statement-withholding, realestate salesman trump is squishy on illegal alien deportation should surprise nobody.
Trump = Perot = Trump = Perot.
.
Just wait 5 minutes. Me Too Teddy will agree with Trump’s immigration position again.
Just here to help the infirmed...
Cruz rules out ‘deportation force’ to boot undocumented
immigrants
Cruz indicated that he would only deport those who are apprehended, such as those who commit crimes or are caught by prospective employers without having immigrated legally. Immigrations and Custom Enforcement or Border Patrol agents could also apprehend those along the border.
So MS-13 members, you’re safe
Illegals pre rape of women and children, you’re safe
Illegals pre crime of any sort, you’re safe
Vote Ted Cruz...

Nobody is perfect. In my view Trump is more a man of his word than any professional politician who ran as a conservative promising to stop Obama and then voted for voted for the Gang of 8 bill, TPA, the Corker bill or supports TPP.
Isn’t the system we have now fair? The law has specific ways to deal with illegal aliens. What isn’t fair about them?
Any return that doesn't put illegals at the end of the long quota line is unfair.
Certainly "expediting" them back is unfair.
Keep swingin fellas.
So one of two things are going to happen. Either people are going to expose Trump now for the reprobate that he is, or the Democrats will do it in the fall when he is the candidate. If you don’t want a Democrat in the White House come January 2017, now is the time to wise up to what a clueless low-life Donald Trump really is.
- Memo To The Trumpeters
Cruz will win his home state but the delegates will be split, Carson will win a state before Rubio ...
“When Trump grants Amnesty, they’ll be for Amnesty.”

Yes, for, to his supporters, Trump (Bless & Praise Him) is their messiah.
Extremely misleading headline.
[[But if he said not negotiable he would be called a Hitler...sometimes you can’t win.]]
Actually he’d be called a man of principles- and yes, the msm would hate him for it- the left would pound him for it, but conservatives would trust him more- but in the end, he didn’t say that, because poll numbers seem to be his best friend-
In other words, he won’t be governing by executive order
Trumpies: Get ready for this should Trump win the election. Trump has no core values, and has expressed liberal ones in the past. He’s not even a RINO. He’s not a Republican. He’s just the personification of your frustration. Think you have a “uniparty” now - just wait. You’re being played for fools.
How would other news people know what was said at the meeting? It was a meeting WITH the N.Y. Times, not with other news people.
