Last week, he postponed a speech he was planning to make in Colorado on the topic. Early in his campaign, Trump said he would build a wall between the U.S. and Mexico and deport the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants in the country. On Wednesday, he said "there's no amnesty, but we work with them," adding that his policies "could certainly be softening, because we're not looking to hurt people." The next day, he told Anderson Cooper there's "no path to legalization unless they leave the country," and his plan is not "a softening. I've had people say it's a hardening, actually."
