Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is reaffirming that people in the U.S. illegally cannot receive legal status, despite recently suggesting he might be softening his stance on immigration.Trump is telling thousands of supporters in Phoenix that "you cannot obtain legal status by entering the country illegally." His immigration plan will not offer a path to legal status or citizenship: "There will be no amnesty." Those here illegally have "one route and one route only: To return home and apply for reentry like anybody else."
Trump is summing up a nearly hour-long talk without effectively changing his overall position, the crux of his campaign for more than a year. He says that the United States welcomes immigrants but that "they have to come into our country legally and properly vetted and in a manner that serves the national interest." (AP)
