Joey I've lost track after the last few days where does Donald Trump stand as of noon Sunday on this immigration thing?

In all cases, no matter what changes or clarifications have been made, Donald Trump stands for more enforcement of immigration law than does Hillary Clinton.

That was a great answer although not to the question asked. Seriously though. Do you not think he has completely alienated a good portion of his base by his recent 180 (360/540 ?) on immigration? So much so that they can't trust anything that he stands for now?

He probably did alienate some small portion of them, but here's the thing - I think most people still remember the example of the 1992 campaign, and Perot's part in getting Clinton elected by attracting voters that would otherwise have supported Bush. The "third party" answer is a loser, and is synonymous with "staying home" or voting for Clinton. So, unless and until Clinton's positions seem better than Trump's, I do not think he will lose many of his supporters.

Please explain....I mean I get it that every single MSM outlet has been chirping this exact phrase ad nauseam, but really - How so?

This is his plan - none of this has changed:

1. He is building the wall.

2. There will be NO AMNESTY for illegals here.

3. His going to begin to round up and deport ALL criminal illegals (gang bangers, drug dealers, etc.) Day One.

The only thing modification to the original position paper is that he's realized that automatically deporting 11 million people at once probably is not feasible. He has said he will register every single one of them, make them pay back taxes, and never offer them citizenship. Many will go back because the gravy train runs out.

So... is that really 180 / 360 / 540 policy shift?

what it is, is, a far cry from the Gang of Eight's Amnesty bill, and light years from Clinton's open border, free college and free medical for all policy that she knows there is no way to afford, but she also knows that pandering is the name of her game. It is, quite literally, all she has.

May be the MSM can break ranks and do a little investigative journalism to see if her hot sauce is still in her purse. *dry heaves*

Shouldn't he be pounding the table saying that to calm those that are supporting him for his stance on that very issue ? Is he counting on the masses to ignore the media onslaught this weekend and be as savy as you? I think it is a strategic gamble.We shall see how he fairs in the polls over the next couple weeks. IMO he needs to go 24x7 on Clinton Foundation and pay for play politics as usual.

Agree completely on all counts. He has a major immigration policy speech scheduled for Wednesday in Arizona. Whether it will be accurately reported, if reported on at all, is TBD. If the current MO is to be expected they will dice and slice one or two lines from it to beat him over the head, all the while misrepresenting the facts.

Mike Pence reiterated on one of the Sunday morning programs, again, that the ONLY path to citizenship for those here illegally will be to return to their country of origin, and follow the legal immigration process for re-entry.

It's amazing to see how far we've fallen as a country when a tough immigration plan is balked at by nearly half of the country (when you include the felons and illegals that are going to vote).

You know the cries of this being our last chance to right the ship is really starting to get to me. I truly believe it's too late but if we can't keep this worthless old lying woman out of the White House then maybe it's time I re-evaluate where to live. It certainly won't be in this decaying city with an idiot of a mayor.
