Trump shifts immigration plan: No ‘mass deportations’

The Hill – by Jesse Hellman

Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump appeared to soften his tone on immigration Saturday, saying he wouldn’t issue mass deportations if he became president.

“President Obama has mass deported vast numbers of people — the most ever, and it’s never reported. I think people are going to find that I have not only the best policies, but I will have the biggest heart of anybody,” Trump said in an interview with Bloomberg Politics Saturday.   

Pressed on whether he would issue mass deportations, as he has called for in the past, Trump said, “No, I would not call it mass deportations.

“We are going to get rid of a lot of bad dudes who are here. That I can tell you,” Trump said.

Throughout his campaign, Trump has promised to build a wall between the U.S. and Mexican border and deport all 11 million people living in the country illegally.

In November, shortly after he launched his presidential campaign, Trump said he would build a “deportation force” to ship those in the country illegally back to their home countries.

“We’re going to do it in a very humane fashion. Believe me. I have a bigger heart than you do. We’re going to do it in a very humane fashion,” he said.

However, Trump stood by his proposal to restrict people from “terrorist countries” from entering the U.S. Previously, he said that if elected he would temporarily ban Muslims from entering the country.

“I want terrorists out. I want people that have bad thoughts out. I would limit specific terrorist countries, and we know who those terrorist countries are,” Trump said.

    BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

    Oh man, changing his promises and speaking like a sleazy, backstabbing politician. After he gets all his support to get the nomination, he backstabs the people who supported him.

    When will people ever learn?

    My money is on isrealhell not fitting his definition of “terrorist countries” and patriots are the ones with “bad thoughts”.

  3. “If I only gotta pay ’em a buck an hour to work like slaves for me, they can stay. Otherwise, you gotta leave, “beaner.”, “The Donald” wanted to say.
