Trump Once Opposed Deporting Immigrants

Just four years ago, CNN notes that Donald Trump took a drastically different position on what is now his central issue: deporting undocumented immigrants in the United States.

Said Trump: “You know my views on it and I’m not necessarily, I think I’m probably down the middle on that also. Because I also understand how, as an example, you have people in this country for 20 years, they’ve done a great job, they’ve done wonderfully, they’ve gone to school, they’ve gotten good marks, they’re productive — now we’re supposed to send them out of the country, I don’t believe in that.”
