When you head to the polls, its all youll be able to choose for a president. Beyond Hillary Clinton or we hear what the libertarian candidate has to say. Says polling numbers put them major developments from all parts of the campaign trail. Begin with donald trump, who appears to be shifting his immigration stance. This afternoon, hes rallying people from florida. So far, he has not mentioned shifting. Trump was asked if there is any part of the law he would change to accommodate lawabiding immigrants with kids here in the united states, he answered, there certainly can be a softening, because were not looking to now, during the primaries, the gop nominee called for a Deportation Force to remove 11 million undocumented workers.
