My mother was all for Trump a year ago, which I never understood. The more outrageous he got, I think she went off him, but immigration was the one bugaboo she had, because she was put through so much, just to be allowed to stay and work here (even though she was married to an American, and her two children were/are American citizens).

You`re right, I don`t believe he flipped flopped.
I think it`s a ploy for votes. His first stance is the product he will serve up.
For the record, I like his middle ground fibbing more than his deporting truths.

Criminals have to go. No doubt! This is proposed: Law-abiding families stay, but no citizenship, no amnesty, and they must pay taxes.

Hillary or Obama changing their mind: Flip flopping.

If it were up to me, I'd round up every 18-45 male illegal alien in America. Send them to Army training centers around the United States where they would undergo "Basic Training", "Advanced Infantry Training" and Basic Unit Training. They would also be taught the principles of Constitutional Representative Government, given a copy of the US Constitution, The Preamble to the Constitution and a copy of The Declaration of Independence...with heavy emphasis on the "purpose of government":

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness."

Then, I'd give each of them an M-16, a 1000 rounds of 5.56 NATO ammunition and smuggle them back across the border into Mexico.

Within 30 days, Mexico would close the border with the US and station Mexican soldiers every 100 feet along the border to stop any further illegal immigration into the United States....and prevent the return of any trained aliens back to Mexico.
