In news from the campaign trail, Donald Trump is standing by his harsh immigration proposals, which include deporting 11 million undocumented immigrants and building a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border. Over the weekend, Trump’s new campaign manager Kellyanne Conway attempted to soften his proposals, saying his deportation plans remained “to be determined.” But Trump repeatedly stood by his mass deportation proposals on Monday, including during this interview with Fox News’s Bill O’Reilly.
Donald Trump: “The first thing we’re going to do, if and when I win, is we’re going to get rid of all of the bad ones. We’ve got gang members. We have killers. We have a lot of bad people that have to get out of this country. We’re going to get them out. And the police know who they are. They’re known by law enforcement, who they are. We don’t do anything. They go around killing people and hurting people. And they’re going to be out of this country so fast, your head will spin. We have existing laws that allow you to do that. As far as everybody else, we’re going to go through the process.”
This comes as Trump has canceled a speech about his immigration policies, which was slated for Thursday.
