Donald Trump is promising to unveil his new immigration policy over "the next week or two."

Trump had originally aimed to give his speech Thursday in Colorado but it was postponed, and a makeup date has yet to be announced. Trump, in recent days, has signaled that he is backing away from one of his signature immigration policies: mass deportations of the 11 million immigrants living in the United States illegally.

But Trump, speaking Thursday at a meeting with minority Republicans at Trump Tower, emphasized that he's still "very strong on illegal immigration."

"Don't let the media fool the media," he said. "[I'm] very strong on illegal immigration; we have to be. We have no choice.

"We either have our country, or we don't. We either have borders, or we don't," he said, stressing that he plans to build a stronger border wall with Mexico.
