Despite his claims not to be another run of the mill politician, Trump is "evolving" on issues as is politically expedient just like so many others. I agree with his immigration positions and from what I read his 2nd Amendment policy paper looks solid, but this guy has been all over the map on issue after issue after issue - and in some cases all within a short period of time.
It's amusing that so many Trumpkins won't overlook other candidates policy position changes, yet Trump's they gloss over as if these flip flops never happened.
Trump is now the standard bearer on securing the border and dealing with illegal immigrants? Maybe, but to believe that you'd have to accept "the Donald" has done a complete 180 from his position just a couple years ago. In 2012 Trump claimed Romney was too TOUGH on illegals and lost the Hispanic vote (and therefore the election) because of it. And Romney's position wasn't half as tough or intrusive as Trump's is now. Romney was simply for using eVerify, punishing employers that are caught hiring illegals, and letting the jobs that attract illegals dry up so they won't come here. Heck, that is one of the few things Romney actually got right - it's vastly cheaper and more realistic than trying to deport 12 million people, and it punishes businesses with fines that don't attract the same kind of media sob stories rounding up and deporting a bunch of illegals would.
In the end, the nomination will go to an unscarred Cruz. That's the important thing.
