DORAL, Fla. — Donald Trump on Wednesday at times appeared to attempt a more measured tone on immigration, even as he reprised some false, alarmist attacks against migrants during a town hall that will be televised on the Spanish-language network Univision.

Trump has frequently warned of a migrant “invasion,” and he has used dehumanizing language to describe undocumented immigrants, including calling them “animals.” On Wednesday, he avoided those specific terms and voiced support for legal immigration in broad responses to some questions. But legal immigration rates fell when Trump was president, and he recently vowed to revoke temporary protected status for Haitians.

The appearance, coming less than three weeks before Election Day, showed the Republican presidential nominee in a different setting from the largely White rallies he often speaks at. This time, he was speaking to a broadcast audience that includes many Latino voters. The former president has over the years given conflicting views of his stances on major issues.

Trump faced questions from undecided Latino voters who asked him about a range of topics, including the cost of living, reproductive rights, climate change, his handling of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol and his loss of support from some officials who served in his administration.
