"The address definitely strengthens his base and, we read that once his message is assimilated by the Latino population interested in keeping the illegal immigrants in the USA, his approval among them will increase somewhat," said A D Amar, president of Indian-Americans for Trump 2016.
"What we read from this policy address by Trump is that if the illegal immigrants who have not committed crime continue to live in the shadow, there will be no rounding up of them by any deportation task force that he promised to enlarge if elected the next president," Amar said, commenting on the major policy speech of Trump on immigration.
"However, he spared mass deportation for the largest part of the 11 million illegal immigrants who have not committed any crime, are not public charge, are gainfully integrated in the American society, and continue to do so," he said.
"We see this as a softening, and showing heart for the immigrants living in the USA. Nevertheless, he was very clear that if they wanted path to citizenship, they will have to go back to the country they came from and go through the process to be legalized," Amar said.
