“Donald Trump sought to reassert control of an immigration story line that has bedeviled his campaign in the last week, telling an Iowa audience that he would deport ‘criminal illegal immigrants’ immediately upon being sworn into office,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“Yet the Republican presidential nominee didn’t offer any detail on whether he would abide by his primary-campaign pledge to install a ‘deportation force’ to remove 11 million illegal immigrants from the country. Instead, he blamed the media for focusing on his old campaign promises instead of what he deemed more pressing issues.”
