Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin on Thursday said she's not too worried about the charges that Donald Trump has gone soft on immigration, saying the Republican nominee “didn’t garner a lot of enthusiastic support by being soft on anything.”

“Donald Trump understands that enforcing the laws and building a wall are paramount to what the will of the people is,” she told guest host Eric Bolling in an interview on "The O’Reilly Factor" on Fox News. “Thank God he’s still preaching that, because if he were not, then there would be a huge erosion of support.”


“Candidate Trump didn’t garner a lot of enthusiastic support by being soft on anything,” she added.

Trump over the past week has generated a flood of headlines by appearing to back away from his proposal for a "deportation force," saying he is open to "softening" immigration laws and that he's willing to "work with" certain undocumented immigrants if they pay back taxes.

Palin on Thursday also suggested people do their “ABCs — ‘Anybody but Clinton’” — which would help them understand that anything Trump decides to do with immigration would be “better than what Hillary will do, which is incentivize more illegals to come on over.”

Trump said on Thursday morning that he would be delivering a speech “in the next week” outlining a specific plan on immigration.
