On the eve of a Phoenix rally that he predicts will draw 5,000 people to hear him speak about illegal immigration, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump told Bloomberg's "With All Due Respect" that he has no intention of backing off the stands that have drawn him rebukes from some top-ranking political figures. "We have to stop illegal immigration," the billionaire businessman told interviewer Mark Halperin on Friday. "The country is being decimated by it.

Speaking about the wave of criticism he has received this week, he did not back down. “All I can do is talk the truth,” Trump said. He declined to say that he has made any mistakes, or that anything had hurt his feelings. “No,” Trump said, “because I’m a big boy.”
