Ann Coulter Blasts Trump on Twitter For Softening Immigration Stance

Conservative voice Ann Coulter took to Twitter Thursday blasting Donald Trump after he delivered a bombshell Wednesday night when he told Fox News that he would work with "upstanding" illegal immigrants on a plan to stay in the country vs. deport them.

Coulter tweeted:

Well, if it's "hard," then nevermind. Trump: "... to take a person who's been here for 15 or 20 years ....It's a very, very hard thing."

Trump told Sean Hannity during the Fox interview that in order to stay, the "good people" would have to pay back taxes.

"No citizenship. Let me go a step further - they'll pay back taxes, they have to pay taxes, there's no amnesty, as such, there's no amnesty, but we work with them," Trump told Hannity.

The "In Trump We Trust" author was not impressed:

Only part he left out was the "hoops" they'll have to jump through! Trump:"No citizenship. Let me go a step further—they'll pay back-taxes"

Trump: "they have to pay taxes, there's no amnesty" [Pro Tip: "Back taxes" means we pay illegals $30k apiece in EITC.}

It's not "amnesty." It's "comprehensive immigration reform"!!!! Trump: "they have to pay taxes, there's no amnesty."

Coulter went on MSNBC earlier this week, promoting her book but also warning Trump against softening his stance on immigration. 

"This could be the shortest book tour ever if he's really softening his position on immigration," Coulter told MSNBC.
