CNN: There will be no Amnesty
CBS News: Trump doubles down in immigration speech: "Mexico will pay for wall"
ABC News: Trump Slams 'Open Border Policy' in Long-Awaited Immigration Speech, ANALYSIS: Trump Lands Back Where He Started on Immigration
Huffington Post: DONALD GETS DARKER
Washington Times: Trump still plans to build border wall, Mexico’s Pena Nieto says he won’t pay for it
WSJ: Trump Vows Deportations and Stands by Wall Plan

So only the New York Times and the usual alt right websites are sucking Trump's dick atm.

Haha, they already slightly edited it; took out "a stark turnaround from the deportation force and other severe tactics that helped win him the Republican nomination," added a whole new paragraph:

"Yet the juxtaposition of Mr. Trump’s dual performances was so jarring that his true vision and intentions on immigration were hard to discern. He displayed an almost unrecognizable demeanor during his afternoon in Mexico, appearing measured and diplomatic, while hours later he took the stage at his campaign rally and denounced illegal immigrants on the whole as a criminally minded and dangerous group that sows terror in communities and commits murders, rapes and other heinous violence."

The chances you ever have to show it, other than while passing a border, are slim but the law is very clear about it.

https://www.uscis.gov/ilink/docView/SLB/HTML/SLB/0-0-0-1/0-0-0-29/0-0-0-8289.html

Section 264(e) of the Immigration and Nationality Act posted:

(e) Every alien, eighteen years of age and over, shall at all times carry with him and have in his personal possession any certificate of alien registration or alien registration receipt card issued to him pursuant to subsection (d). Any alien who fails to comply with the provisions of this subsection shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall upon conviction for each offense be fined not to exceed $100 or be imprisoned not more than thirty days, or both.

Obviously this means nothing statistically but I know several people who say they are not really following the election because it looks like "a blowout". I think that a significant number of white people treat politics like a sporting event since no matter what happens it won't really affect them.

Well considering the "border" can officially stretch up to 100 miles inland, I would keep it on me.

Jeet Heer thinks they may possibly have been given one version of the speech, a more Conwayesque one, and Trump at the last minute switched to a Bannon-style speech. A stretch, yes, but given how dysfunctional the Trump campaign is, I wouldn't put it past them.
