" Donald Trump says he'll deliver a detailed speech on his proposal to crack down on illegal immigration on Wednesday in Arizona " but it's anyone's guess what he might say. The announcement came late Sunday in a tweet by the GOP presidential nominee after days of wavering " and at least one canceled speech " on a question central to his campaign: Whether he would, as he said in November, use a "deportation force" to eject the estimated 11 million people in the U.S. illegally.
Trump campaign senior adviser Boris Epshteyn on Sunday dismissed concerns that Donald Trump had softened his immigration stance and insisted that the candidate would "make sure America stays America." "The key is to contrast what Donald Trump is saying to what Hillary Clinton is saying," Epshteyn told CNN's Fredricka Whitfield.
Is he or isn't he? That's been the question of the week about whether Donald Trump is "softening" his hardline stance on illegal immigration, adopted ahead of the Republican primaries. What exactly is going on with Trump and immigration remains the subject of uncertainty and debate.
John Dickerson, host of CBS's "Face the Nation," on Sunday referred to "11 million undocumented workers," yet thousands of illegal aliens are imprisoned. It is unknown exactly how many illegal immigrants are in the United States and most estimate between 11 million to 12 million.
A path to citizenship for illegal immigrants is "off the table" for GOP nominee Donald Trump, Republican National Committee head Reince Priebus declared Sunday. In an interview with NBC News' "Meet The Press," Priebus said Trump's immigration position will be "tough," "fair" and "humane."
Even as Donald Trump vacillates between toning down his harsh anti-immigrant rhetoric and reaching out to minorities, he remains unshakable on one central campaign promise: building a wall on America's southern border with Mexico. Donald Trump says his success as a construction magnate guarantees he can build a wall on America's southern border with Mexico, but provides few details "We are going to build a great border wall to stop illegal immigration, to stop the gangs and the violence, and to stop the drugs from pouring into our communities," the Republican presidential candidate said as he accepted his party's nomination last month.

Jeb Bush hammered Donald Trump Thursday after the Republican presidential nominee appeared open to major shifts on his immigration platform -- several of which echoed the former Florida governor's during the GOP primary fight. "All the things that Donald Trump railed against, he seems to be morphing into," Bush said in a radio interview with Rita Cosby of WABC.
Donald Trump defeated 16 rivals in the Republican primaries by being the most anti-immigrant of them all, promising to build a giant wall on the border and deport millions.

Donald Trump said he would "work with" undocumented immigrants during a Fox News town hall with Sean Hannity taped on Tuesday, the second half of which is airing tonight at 10 p.m. When asked whether he would allow an exception for someone to stay in the U.S. who's proven to be a fair citizen, Trump said, "No citizenship. Let me go a step further -- they'll pay back-taxes, they have to pay taxes , there's no amnesty, as such, there's no amnesty, but we work with them."
Donald Trump suggested Wednesday that he would allow exceptions to let some undocumented immigrants to stay in the US, vowing he wouldn't grant them citizenship but telling Fox News, "there's no amnesty, but we work with them." For Trump, whose rise to the Republican nomination was based in large part on his hardline immigration policies, the comments are the clearest sign yet that he is reconsidering his pledge to deport all of the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants in the US, a key part of his campaign platform.
Mark Krikorian argues that the core issue in immigration policy, superseding that of "amnesty" for the 12 million or so illegal immigrants living here today, is how to fix the system to prevent the next wave of illegal immigrants. That's an important point, although given the decline in immigration from Mexico in particular over the last several years, it's more a long-term than a short-term issue.

The man all about issues, of course, is real estate developer Donald Trump .
WASHINGTON _ Donald Trump is backing away from his call for mass deportations of undocumented immigrants, and even some of his rally-going supporters say they're fine with it. If he wins the November election, the Republican presidential nominee said Monday, he would do "the same thing" as President Barack Obama in prioritizing the removal of criminals residing in the U.S. illegally, but " perhaps with a lot more energy."
Donald Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, is en route to Texas today for fundraisers in Fort Worth and Austin , as well as a rally and a town hall in the latter.
