GO, TRUMP!!! 1.12pm BSTHello and welcome to our live-wire coverage of the 2016 race for the White House. Did you catch Donald Trump’s gigantic speech on immigration last night? No matter whether not; to understand where Trump now stands on immigration, or you may simply refer in your textbooks to the drop of 2015,when Trump emerged as a scorched-soil, anti-“amnesty”, and anti-immigrant hardliner.“There was no pivoting. There was no softening. There was just Donald Trump,” writes the Guardian’s Ben Jacobs of the speech:
In a much heralded immi
gration speech in Phoenix, the Republican nominee finally put to rest any pretence that he would moderate his views for a general electorate. “There will be no amnesty, or ” Trump proclaimed to a cheering crowd on Wednesday.

n presidential candidate doubled down on his hardline stance in a speech on Wednesday night which delighted core supporters and dismayed his few remaining Latino allies who had expected a tack towards moderation.
