Trump has said no such thing. He has come out for 100 percent deportation. His only concession has been an expedited legal process to return people we might want in this country. This is much better than NOT deporting them, and offering them not only legal status, but eventual citizenship, based on the premise that they can't be removed.
Pathway to citizenship might be assuming too much... might be.
He DID say to Dana Bash that some of them should be given legalized status because they do jobs Americans don’t want to do. He did NOT leave out the option of citizenship for them one day.
In the midst of a conversation with Bill O’Reilly he all of a sudden said you have to give these illegals a path to succeed in this country.
