So, here's what Trump and/or his spokespeople have most recently said in regards to his immigration policy...
- MUSLIMS: Trump's no longer committed to blocking Muslim visitors and immigrants into the U.S., either temporarily or permanently.
- MEXICANS: He's no longer confirming intent to establish a deportation task force which would round up all the undocumented/illegal Mexican immigrants and send them back to whence they came.
Instead, Trump told the media yesterday that he will follow Obama's lead, but with more energy. He will focus on deporting the "bad" ones (criminals). President Obama has deported more illegal immigrants during his administration (prioritizing criminals) than all of the other U.S. presidents since 1892 combined.
Trump will then address non-bad illegal immigrants in some yet to be defined 'fair and humane' manner, with helping them to obtain legal status in the mix.
- THE WALL: Trump gained a lot of primary support with his promise to build that big beautiful border wall. He confirmed that he's still committed to The Wall and that he'll get the Mexican government to pay for it. (Personally, I don't care one way or another about the wall, but do not believe that a wall will be built on Mexico's dime.)
Anyway, I'm interested in hearing Trump's final(?) answers when his immigration policy speech is rescheduled.
