Donald Trump Ready To Clarify Immigration Policy

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- The presidential candidates have just 10 weeks left to make their case to voters as it appears Hillary Clinton is losing some ground, but remains far ahead of Donald Trump.

CBS2's Dick Brennan reported this comes as Trump is now ready to clarify his immigration policy – a tricky political move for him. On one hand, it's at the core of his message to conservatives.

Clinton is fundraising in New York Monday, but last week, she said Trump had a history of discrimination.

"I think we all remember when Trump said a distinguished federal judge born in Indiana could not be trusted to do his job because quote, 'He's a Mexican,'" Clinton said.

The Illinois Board of Elections confirmed hackers took some voters' information, including addresses and partial Social Security numbers, but they said they have increased security measures.

This raises worries about a possible cyber-threat to elections.
