AUSTIN, Texas (AP) – Donald Trump is suggesting he could favor “softening” laws dealing with immigrants living in the United States illegally.
Trump taped a town hall in Austin, Texas, on Tuesday for Fox News. Moderator Sean Hannity asked the Republican presidential nominee if he would change any statute to accommodate law-abiding citizens or those with children.
Trump answered, “There certainly can be a softening because we’re not looking to hurt people. We want people, we have some great people in this country.”
He added, “We are going to follow the laws of this country.”
His remarks could indicate he is considering easing his earlier pledge to deport the 11 million people living in the country illegally.
Trump said he would make a decision “very soon” about deportations.
