"The dilemma is if you're weak ... the country is going to be overwhelmed with [undocumented immigrants]. ... If you're strong, then you don't have any heart. Perhaps I'd like to be strong," the president said, according to pool reporters in the room."

The bracketed portion supplied by CNBC replaced Trump's original "millions of people"

Why did they have to take off "millions"? Because they know the true magnitude of this problem freaks everyone out?

To be fair,

Doesn't fit in neatly with their narrative that all of the ille--sorry, "undocumented immigrants"--essentially amount to little more than a few thousand bright-eyed, brilliant-but-humble hardworking photogenic young adults who barely even speak Spanish and simply want to go to be allowed to go to Harvard (where they demonstrably deserve to be on the merits) so they can grow up to be upstanding and tax-paying members of society.
