Trump: My immigration plans aren't set in stone; Parts are "negotiable"
Politico ^ | 03/01/2016 | Hanna Trudo

Posted on 03/01/2016 8:03:10 AM PST by SeekAndFind

Donald Trump says parts of his immigration proposals are “negotiable,” but only minor details about his border wall.

In an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity on Monday night, Trump responded to a question about a recent claim, first introduced by BuzzFeed earlier in the day, that he told The New York Times editorial board in an off-the-record tape-recorded meeting that he may not follow through with his proposed immigration measures if he is elected president.

“The New York Times is claiming today that they had an off-the-record conversation with you in January,” Hannity started.

“We had a board meeting, it was off-the-record, suddenly they leak it, it’s all over the place,” Trump said.

“They said it’s negotiable on the wall,” Hannity said in reference to Trump’s stance on Mexican immigration and his oft-stated promise to build a border wall.

“By the way it is negotiable. Things are negotiable,” Trump said. “I’ll make the wall 2 feet shorter or something.”

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 answered. “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.”

RE: I would like to see Vicente Fox be required to deliver at least one of the payment checks.

I’d like to hear him say what he said in SPANISH :)

I hear the “F” word becomes the “J” words....

He certainly voted for the Corked bill which abrogated the treaty provisions in the constitution and made it possible. He knew when he voted on the bill that he was basically giving Obama the power to do what he wanted with Iran. Do you think that is a good idea? I knew it would not turn out well, why couldn’t a genius like Cruz predict that? I think it should have been handled as a treaty, since that what it actually is but the constitutional expert knew better.

What lies? We don't know what the results will be yet, do you have a crystal ball? My vote will always be CRUZ, you can have the flip flopping flim flam man all to yourself.

I would suggest you spend your time finding a way to defend Trump on his KKK stance in his run against Clinton. You have got time to manufacture one........It is not going away, count on that FACT. Better get your Defense caucus rounded up.

Did someone else use theword negotiate or negotiable?

NO, it was Donald Trump. If he was committed to his claimed immigration polcy, why would he use the word negotiable?

to voters STILL think I am telling the truth and they still LUB me, I can do no wrong, so there."""""....

YOU:You're completely making this up based on a quote taken out of context from the Hannity show by CNN.

Thank you DOUG. You perfectly proved my point. DT can say anything today, restate another way tomorrow and that's ok. OH, it was his earpiece.

Better get to work on the defense of the KKK mess, it's not going away.

All OK by me. I’ll settle for a 48 foot wall and 95% deportation. And an official, no exception end to anchor babies.

Do you get the feeling they are scrambling around to find that trash can they put their last defense thrown into.., then have to find the other can where they defended his next statement.

He didn't mean this, he said that, he means this, etc.etc.etc. My gosh they are even mind readers.

Round and round we go, where it stops nobody knows.

Musical Excuses.........DT won't let his puppets rest. ROFL

So far, Cruz hs doneeverything he promised when running for the Senate. Trump doesn’t even keep his promises to his wives.

Never mind that his deals will be selling out us, no change from the status quo. The KKK is a great motivator for dems but the MSM and dems are sitting on a lot of other stuff. So sad, if Trump is nominated Hill will win big.

Ok, that is between him and his 2 ex wives and ultimately God. Ronald Reagan was divorced and signed the most liberal state abortion law in the 1965 or 1966 in CA when Governor.

He evolved and was the leader of the Conservative movement in the 1980’s. If Trump tackles 1) Border security and illegal immigration, 2) Free Trade that is not Fair trade for U.S. workers and economy and 3) stops this neo-con interventionist foreign policy and only commit US forces when the U.S. has been attacked, then I will say he is next to Reagan, my 2nd favorite president.

That is how I see it, others are free to have their own opinions.

When you have a candidate who can’t speak in complete sentences like Trump his cult members tend to fill in the blanks with what they want to hear rather than coming to a logical conclusion based on other statements and past history.

Cruz even went that extra step by renouncing Canadian citizenship! No one even asked him to do that.
