Trump backers claim shift in his immigration rhetoric
AP ^ | July 31, 2016

CLEVELAND (AP) -- As he turns his attention to the general election, Donald Trump is signaling that he is ready to tone down his fiery rhetoric on illegal immigration — at least behind closed doors.

At the same time, Republican officials appear eager to push him in a more moderate direction, telling Hispanics that he has abandoned his divisive primary pledge to deport the estimated 11 million people living in the country illegally — even if Trump hasn't said so publicly himself.

If a President Trump does not make a super sincere effort to build THE WALL then he is dead to me. He must build the wall and crack down on visa over stayers who are 40% of our illegal aliens. I just saw all the slightly exaggerated hi-tech tracking and tracing that can be done these days in the new Jason Bourne movie. It is ultra easy to computerize all ports of entry and exit as far as tracking those with visas who come here. But it simply is not done.

Washington DC swallows up everyone like the LaBrea tar pits. Trump has to remain above this.

He better not flip-flop on this.

Get with the program.

Trump is going to try (i.e. negotiate) to get everything done that he has proposed.

But he also has to get elected.

That's a tiny array of needles to thread.

Cut him some slack.

This is the issue that will get him elected.
Or defeated.

If he foolishly listens to the GOP and backs down, he will lose.

Trump has shown time and time again that he is a leader, not a follower.

He's not going to fold.

He owns the GOP now.

So true about the media. The scary thing is they’re not going to any great lengths to hide their liberal bias anymore. It’s out in the open for everyone to see. I guess they figure who the hell is gonna stop them!

Yeah, but that media BS to try and demoralize us still works on a number of our fellow Freepers. Gotta remember who the enemy is and who their protectors are.

It’s pure garbage.

This is definitely the media trying to cause trouble for Trump because they know Hillary cannot win on this issue. No way Trump is backing down on illegal immigration.

He doesn’t have to deport them all. They will deport themselves if they can’t get jobs or live off the government.

Back in 2004 .
I watched the unreal chanting and celebrating of the young so called journalists when they met Johnny Phony Kerry .
It’s was unreal and the entire crowd was farrrrr left and no normal people .

I knew the media was done then .

You do recognize the media would like to peel off support from Trump.. at least the weak links.

We’re going to have to be smarter than the media baiting us.

Why oh why!!!!! Why do we have to go through this damn hand-wringing every time this crap is troweled out by the media. I don’t believe a damned thing until I hear it straight from Trump. And not a blurb... complete context. I am sick of this crap getting posted and then the doubters, trolls, shills and Cruz-can’t-give-uppers latching on to it.
