Donald Trump’s Surrogates Back Off ‘Deportation Force’ for Illegal Immigrants
Excerpts
A parade of surrogates for Donald J. Trump backed away on Sunday from a primary element of his immigration policy, further muddying an issue on which Mr. Trump himself sowed confusion in recent days.
Gov. Mike Pence of Indiana, Mr. Trump’s running mate on the Republican presidential ticket, would not affirm that their administration would expel the estimated 11 million immigrants who are in the country illegally, a campaign-defining stance that helped Mr. Trump vanquish opponents in the primary race.
He also backed away from Mr. Trump’s opposition to automatic citizenship for children born in the United States to illegal immigrants.
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Kellyanne Conway, Mr. Trump’s campaign manager, went even further than Mr. Pence, suggesting that Mr. Trump no longer favored the forced removal of illegal immigrants. “He is not talking about a deportation force, but he is talking about being fair and humane,” Ms. Conway said on CBS’s “Face the Nation.”
“He has said that, if you want to be here legally, you have to apply to be here legally,” she added. The statement seemed to suggest that immigrants would be able to attain legal status without leaving the country, a position that conservatives call amnesty
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Reince Priebus, the chairman of the Republican National Committee, said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that he agreed Mr. Trump had oversimplified immigration during the primary campaign. “But now he’s reflecting on it, and his position is going to be known,” he said.

His position is going to be known ? 
Wait a minute. Donald Trump has been making very tough pronouncements about immigration for over a year. The Wall, and forced deportation of 11 million people was the signature issue which propelled him to the nomination.
But, now, some 70 or so days before the election,,,,,,,,,,Trump is reflecting on it, and his position is going to be known?
But, don't worry. Trump is going to give a speech on Wednesday. Once again, the plain-spoken guy who says exactly what he means, is going to explain what he really meant.

We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.
