Late last year, the Federal Aviation Administration abandoned its conservative shackles and made this bold prediction: As many as 1 million drones would be bought by consumers during the holiday shopping season. As it turned out, the FAA made a pretty good call: At least 800,000 of the unmanned aerial vehicles were purchased during commercial blitz that precedes Christmas - a fact that has ignited the hobbyist slice of the drone market.

By Joshua Partlow, Sean Sullivan and Karen DeYoung, The Washington Post MEXICO CITY - Donald Trump, who has made maligning illegal immigrants from Mexico a cornerstone of his presidential campaign, met with Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto on Wednesday - striking a remarkably subdued and cooperative tone as he faced a world leader forcefully opposed to his signature proposals. Yet just hours later in a major speech on immigration in Phoenix, Trump had returned to the aggressive tone that has defined much of his campaign.

In a speech delivered several hours after returning from his meeting with Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto on Wednesday, US Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump reiterated his pledge to build a wall along the US-Mexico border if he is elected. He said Mexico would bear the costs for the wall and that he would limit immigration from certain areas and order the halting of the absorption of Syrian and Libyan refugees.
The GOP nominee reiterated many of his most extreme proposals, outlining a 10-step policy that included building his much-discussed wall , immediately deporting "criminal aliens," and adding an "ideological certification" to ensure that US visa applicants - at least from certain countries - share American values. Per his usual, Trump painted America as a country under siege by criminal aliens and pledged that from his very first hours in the Oval Office, he would commence with the promised deportations.

Mexico's president was savaged on social media and in political circles following his joint press conference Wednesday with Donald Trump, with many seeing a national humiliation in his welcoming of a man who has derided migrants as rapists and criminals.

Donald Trump, in a speech on immigration Wednesday, said U.S. policies must serve the American people and the government should choose immigrants "we think are the likeliest to thrive and flourish and love us." In the long-awaited speech in Phoenix, Arizona, amid accusations he was softening his hardline stance on the subject, Trump said that America's current immigration system "serves the needs of wealthy donors, political activists and powerful politicians."
Hillary Clinton and the Democrats - and a considerable number of Republican summer soldiers who play "can you top this" with each other to see who can say the most hateful things about their party's nominee - thought they had Donald Trump 's number. He was ignorant, a blustery racist, a blowhard bigot and maybe even guilty of mopery, a little bit crazy and unable to learn from his mistakes.
