What is Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump's current position on the mass deportations of undocumented immigrants he promised his followers all year? No one is sure.
Hispanic leaders who met with Trump on Saturday told BuzzFeed News that Trump indicated to them that he is looking for a "humane and efficient" solution for the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants currently residing in the U.S..
New campaign manager Kellyanne Conway told CNN on Sunday morning that the candidate's policy on mass deportations is still "to be determined."
Many of Trump's right-wing, anti-immigration supporters are howling with outrage over the possibility of any deviation from the plan to forcefully deport all undocumented immigrants. The promise has been a main selling point of the Trump campaign since its launch in June of 2015, when Trump said that Latino immigrants coming to the U.S. are "rapists," criminals and "drug dealers."
At conservative website Red State, commentator Kyle Foley said, "Trump's base is built around this hardcore stance that the wall should be built and the illegal immigrants should be deported. They railed against 'Gang of Eight' Marco Rubio for his perceived weak stance, however they will most likely justify Trump's flip-flop because let's face it, nothing matters to them. It's almost like Trump simply told them what they wanted to hear in order to win. Lord knows what he actually believes when it comes to immigration."
