Trump denies 'flip-flopping' on immigration

Donald Trump and his surrogates on Monday pushed back against the idea that the Republican nominee is softening his hardline positions on immigration, with the GOP nominee himself insisting there was no flip-flopping on his part.
The campaign has found itself on the defensive after BuzzFeed reported over the weekend that Trump had indicated an openness to legalization for undocumented immigrants and after his new campaign manager Kellyanne Conway saying Trumps use of a deportation force is to be determined.
Trump on Monday was vague when pressed about his specific immigration plans, but was adamant that hes not shifting on the issue that has been core to his campaign.
And the kicker:
"I mean, they should come first. You were born in this country. You were born here legally. Youre here legally. I mean, wages have been stagnant for the last 15 years and it's because you have, you know, Syrian refugees coming in," Eric Trump continued. "Its because you have, you know, thousands of people coming over the border. I mean, and Americans are suffering because of it and that's his point. So he's speaking to Hispanic and Latino leaders and hes having really amazing conversations. Hes also speaking to law enforcement, hes speaking to border patrol. And you know hes going formulate a really, really great plan that's humane and ethical and that treats everybody well. But we have to solve the problem. Its a real problem for this country."
Syrian refugees?!
