Washington - U.S. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said on Monday he is not changing his tune on his immigration policy, which includes plans to deport 11 million people who are in the United States illegally.

“I’m not flip-flopping. We want to come up with a really fair but firm answer,” Trump told Fox News when asked about comments by his campaign manager Kellyanne Conway on Sunday that it was to be determined whether his immigration plan would include a “deportation force” that the candidate had previously pledged to set up.

Trump met over the weekend with Hispanic supporters, representatives of a community that has been wary of the billionaire businessman’s proposals to build a border wall and deport people living in the United States illegally.

Earlier today, Eric Trump, one of Trump’s sons, was asked on “Fox and Friends” Monday whether this was a flip-flop. He replied: “My father hasn’t flip-flopped on anything.”

He declined to provide details of his father’s plans, but said they will be “humane and ethical and treats everybody well, but we have to solve a problem,” referring to illegal immigration.

The Republican presidential candidate plans to speak about his immigration plans this week.
