After a week of confusing statements about his immigration policy, Donald Trump on Sunday evening said that he will deliver a speech about immigration on Wednesday in Arizona.

The Trump campaign had cancelled an immigration speech planned for last week, and Trump proceeded to offer comments on deportation that differed from his stance throughout the primary. He appeared open to not deporting all 11 million undocumented immigrants from the United States. He said he might be “softening” his policy, before later insisting that he was “hardening” his stance on deportation.

On Saturday, Trump focused on his plan for “criminal illegal immigrants,” who he said he would deport “within one hour” of taking office.

    Unfortunately, Donnie, there are no magical little blue pills for this problem. There are only blue solutions – Democratic, blue solutions. The red M&Ms are the ones that cause the problems – we need to cull Congress of the red ones. Replace with the blue ones.

  2. Oh boy, I’m getting goose bumps and Chihuahuas just thinking about it!
    If he speaks in the early afternoon, I can easily watch.

  3. Will there be any mention of Melania’s own immigration falsehoods? Wanna clear up that potential scandal, Mr. Trump?

    It will be billed as a speech on immigration, but you know that it will feature Anthony Weiner. The temptation will just be too great.

    Will it look something like this?
