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.

Cruz’s position is as follows.
He will not seek out and deport illegal aliens.
That means they get a free pass until they are arrested for a crime.
You really are a dim bulb around you.
No because 40% are overstays we already know who they are.
For they rest the you are ok with the government violating the fourth amendment rights of citizens to find the illegal.
Oh, I read the whole thing. It mentions "Donald Trump's off-the-record meeting with the New York Times." It notes that "sources told" BuzzFeed's editor what happened at the meeting (which would mean that BuzzFeed's editor wasn't there). In fact, nowhere in the entire article does it mention that anyone other than the NY Times was present at the meeting.
But I guess facts don't really mean too much to a Trumpkin.
LOL
That sharp pain in your back. It’s a fork. You’re done.
hear that tearing sound, that is the Constitution.
Why would you want a bunch of knuckle dragging redneck LIVs suddenly joining the Cruz team? Wouldn't that Make Cruz a racist or would he openly renounce them?
Google the Oprah Winfrey You-Tube video interview of Trump she made in 1988. Then get back with me about Trump changing positions like you change socks.
I mean, if you are honest enough.
Hear that woman screaming, she’s just been raped and has now been murdered too, after being mutilated while alive just for added kicks.
Bunch of garbarge..left out of the transcript the “negotiable” part...that Trump MIGHT take 2 feet off the wall...but the wall will be there no matter what.
"Look under the hood? Why would you want to do that? Take it to an independent mechanic for an inspection? Only losers would do that. Trust me, it's great!"
Is it okay to bust someone for their thoughts, because that is the only sure way to stop someone before they commit a crime.
From what I've seen, it wouldn't appear that he actually has any principles. Since everything is negotiable, it's all just shades of grey.
Border crossings will stop only when the penalty for crossing is greater than the reward.
We have been slowly nudged into this position just like our entire society has been slowly persuaded to accept every communist goal since 1950. Press 1 for English.
What possibly could the Black community gain by bringing in enough foreign immigrants to make the Whites a minority? Especially when they also would become a minority of the minorities.
Maybe the ambition to put whitey in his place is the most important goal.
There will only be one and it won’t be the Crubio chimera.
Are you illiterate, or are you just acting like it?
Illegal immigrants are here illegally.
OH ok I forgot illegals walk around with the word illegal branded on their forhead.... or are you saying that we should deport hispanics?
Stop it, I’m gettin all misty for ya.
I realize this is a real tough dilemma for you.
Try and read a book and get your mind off it.
You’ll feel better, promise...
You are correct. The FR is chock-a-block now with GOPe agents. Their desperation increases with the hyperbole and misrepresentations.
You'r right dog, we better go with Rubio.
Never trust a liberal journalist.
