September 1, 2016 MORE POLITICS > Trump's Fiery Immigration Speech Trump Slams 'Open Border Policy' in Long-Awaited Immigration Speech Donald Trump gave his long-awaited immigration speech in Phoenix last night after touching down in the U.S. following a surprise visit to Mexico. He explained his plan to "break the cycle of amnesty and illegal immigration," including building a wall. Trump launched into his immigration policy discussion by saying that the focus should be on improving the lives of Americans and their security. "When politicians talk about immigration reform, they usually mean the following: amnesty, open borders, lower wages, immigration reform. [It] should mean something else entirely. It should mean improvements to our laws and policies, to make life better for American citizens. But if we're going to make our immigration system work, then we have to be prepared to talk honestly and without fear about these important and very sensitive issues," Trump said. He referenced the trip to Mexico at the start of his speech, saying that he had just "returned from a very important and special meeting" with Mexican president Enrique Pena Nieto, who Trump said "truly loves his country, Mexico," ABC's MEGHAN KENEALLY and JOHN SANTUCCI report. http://abcn.ws/2bD4aMT READ MORE   Trump 'Didn't Discuss' Border Wall Payment With Mexican President Donald Trump said that while he had a "substantive, direct and constructive" meeting with Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto, they "didn't discuss" who would pay for the border wall that Trump has made a centerpiece of his presidential campaign. Trump arrived in Mexico City Wednesday and took the podium for a joint press conference alongside Pena Nieto, noting the "tremendous feeling" he has for Mexican-Americans, note ABC's CANDACE SMITH, MORGAN WINSOR and MEGHAN KENEALLY. "I was straightforward in presenting my views about the impacts of current trade and immigration policies on the United States" Trump said, noting later that "We are united by our support of Mexicans." http://abcn.ws/2cfmzzn READ MORE   Analysis -- Trump Lands Back Where He Started on Immigration Donald Trump hinted at a new immigration policy that would be a softening, but also a hardening, of his previously stated policies, ABC's RICK KLEIN writes. He meandered through all of that territory, and to both sides of the US-Mexico border, to land back where he started on a signature issue. His anger-tinged speech Wednesday night in Phoenix carried high expectations of a new tone and fresh policies, but brought little of either. If anything, despite a mostly friendly foray to Mexico City earlier in the day, Trump's newly articulated policies represented a substantial strengthening of his commitment to rooting out illegal immigration, as well as ridding the United States of those immigrants themselves. "Anyone who has entered the United States illegally is subject to deportation," Trump declared. "Otherwise we don't have a country." Even by Trumpian standards, Wednesday's events capped a dizzying policy journey. The day's frenzy started with a surprise acceptance of an invitation to visit Mexico, where Trump was courteous and even complimentary toward his hosts. Trump seemed like a downright conventional politician as he talked of a "constructive conversation" and "shared goals." Gone, for a few hours, was the Mexico he's portrayed over the past year-and-a-half as a menacing enemy -- siphoning American jobs and wages, taking advantage of free-trade agreements, and sending rapists and drugs across a porous border.

Tim Kaine, the Democratic vice presidential candidate, today called Donald Trump a "diplomatic embarrassment" when asked on "Good Morning America" about the real estate mogul's trip to Mexico Wednesday, ABC's JESSICA HOPPER notes. "I think it was kind of a diplomatic embarrassment," Kaine said of Trump's unexpected meeting with Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto. "He's been talking for a year about we're going to build a wall and Mexico is going to pay for it and then he goes and he sits down and goes eyeball to eyeball with the president of Mexico and, what, he forgets suddenly to bring it up or he's too afraid to bring it up or he chokes in the meeting. "It's just kind of an indication that the guy talks out of both sides of his mouth." http://abcn.ws/2bFK431 READ MORE   Clinton Hits Trump for 'Dropping In' on Mexico Hillary Clinton used her first public event in nearly a week to bash Donald Trump for "dropping in" on Mexico, saying building relationships takes more than "a photo op." "You don't build a coalition by insulting our friends or acting like a loose cannon. You do it by putting in the slow, hard work of building relationships," the Democratic presidential nominee said during remarks at the American Legion's national convention in Cincinnati. "Getting countries working together was my job every day as your secretary of state. It's more than a photo op. It takes consistency and reliability," report ABC's LIZ KREUTZ and JOSH HASKELL. http://abcn.ws/2bVMBWG READ MORE   Trump's Mexico Trip Credited to Son-in-Law Jared Kushner Trump's voyage to Mexico Wednesday is thanks to efforts by the billionaire's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, according to senior level sources close to Donald Trump.
