Republican presidential candidate has finally given us a glimpse of his proposed immigration policy, and it’s everything you would expect it to be:
Trump said Wednesday in an interview with CNN’s Dana Bash that as president he would deport all undocumented immigrants and then allow the “good ones” to reenter the country through an “expedited process” and live in the U.S. legally, though not as citizens.
“Legal status,” Trump suggested. “We got to move ’em out, we’re going to move ’em back in if they’re really good people.”
For a blustering candidate whose rhetoric has snatched headlines and galvanized a sizable segment of the Republican base, Trump’s comments Wednesday represent his most detailed explanation into what he would do with the estimated 11-plus million immigrants living in the U.S. illegally.
Trump didn’t elaborate on how he would find the 11 million illegals in order to deport them, however:
“Politicians aren’t going to find them because they have no clue. We will find them, we will get them out,” Trump said. “It’s feasible if you know how to manage. Politicians don’t know how to manage.”
As for illegal criminals residing in American jails, Trump said he would immediately deport them and never let them back in.
Trump 2016
PERFECT BUMPER STICKER! YOU COULD SELL A MILLION OF THEM OR MORE!
Sounds good to me.
All ILLEGAL ALIENS must be deported and never given amnesty, THEY BROKE OUR IMMIGRATION LAWS, no legal status of any kind, should not be allowed to come and go, never allowed to vote. they will vote democratic to get our social programs. They will have many more children than we; it makes no sense to have people in our country who are poorer than we. and will out number us. We have to protect our culture our language and our republic. We must have legal immigrants who share our culture, are educated and can give to our country, be self supporting. They must respect our laws, our Constitution, our flag, our language. AMERICANS WANT THEM OUT OF HERE AND WITH THEIR ILLEGAL ANCHOR BABIES EVEN IF THEY ARE 30 YEARS OLD.
unfortunately the Anchor Babies are Citizens but if they Anchor babies are under 18 the parents should have to make their own arrangements for them or take them with them
I can assure you if you start punishing the low lifes that hire them they will self deport.No more jobs no more illegals.Lots less crime.
1. tired of the “11 million” meme. We have no idea how many are in country.
2. At least he has the guts to discuss this most important issue when Scott Walker couldn’t even find a set of b a l l s to bring it up in his kick off speech 2 weeks ago.
I will support Trump until he gives me reason not to.
It’s probably at least 20 million. Just think how less congested the roads will be, shorter waits at A&E, smaller classroom sizes at school, less crime. Yeah he’s got my vote!
American unemployment will go down Americans won’t have to pay higher water rates, car insurance will get cheaper, roads will last longer, hospitals won’t go bankrupt, American children will be better educated, and counties /cities going bankrupt will be a thing of the past, just touch on a few benefits of deporting illegals .
Cheapest way to do it, and a net gain thanks to the massive fines employers will have to pay after they are raided.
Take them with them back to the country of origin. Don’t leave them here or we’re still stuck paying for them.
Right. We certainly don’t want them on the dole or in our foster care system sucking up money meant for the children of American citizens .
I love it!
Semper Fi, Colonel!
Take the illegals out of California, and no more water shortage….and maybe some Americans would move back into the once Golden State…..
Trump 2016
This 11 million number is a decade old lie continully regurgitated by the media..
30, 40, or even 50 million illegals occupy the USA
THIS COUNTRY WILL NEVER DEPORT THEM
Believe me, Trump knows that quite well. That’s another group who will side with the corrupt politicians to get Trump out of the picture!
Dear Americans,
I have long held that the illegal alien population in the United States hovers just above 30 million…about 10% of the nation’s population.
The annual cost to subsidize such a huge impoverished population is about $380 BILLION annually. That’s almost 1/2 TRILLION dollars annually!
Go figure why the USA is $18 TRILLION in debt after so many decades of encouraging the transfer of poor and unskilled masses from Mexico and Central America (and other countries, too). US taxpayers are required to pay off this enormous debt with increased tax levies in the future. Not just income tax increases, but increases in sales taxes, real estate taxes, DMV fees, excise taxes on utilities and telephones, and various other increased surtaxes, etc., etc…with no end in sight.
Donald Trump appears determined to bring our nation back under the rule of law insofar as U.S. immigration laws are concerned.
Americans, please join me in endorsing Donald Trump for president 2016. Furthermore, I think Texas Senator Ted Cruz is an excellent pick for vice president. These two candidates think the same, talk the same…and, hopefully will walk the same once in the White House.
This is our last chance to elect a presidential administration that will finally take on the enormous task of returning America to its heralded status as a “nation of laws.”
Part of that enormous task is to repatriate the millions of illegal aliens currently occupying US territory back to their homelands, where they can stand in line at a US embassy to apply for legal entry into the United States of America…just like the millions of “LEGAL” immigrants have done before them. For many of them, they will not be allowed to return to our country, and rightfully so.
Immigrants from around the world are invited to America at the pleasure of the United States citizenry, not at the fleeting whim of anyone who just wants to come here regardless of violating our laws.
If we are to be a civilized nation, governed by its people under the rule of law, then we must actually enforce our laws, America. The alternative is to devolve into a nation of anarchy where laws are meaningless and apply only to those persons naive or foolish enough to obey them.
For too long our political governors have let the mobs of millions of illegal aliens rule our country.
It is finally time for the “mob rule” and the political tyranny to stop.
Does Donald Trump have your support, America?
Jim Gilchrist, Founder and President, The Minuteman Project
Mr. Gilchrist: You make very good sense> I am still stuck on all of the thousands of illegals that Obama has deliberately encouraged to come to our country….so these many thousands of illegals will all be given a chance to apply for legal status, which is what Obama wanted and so they could vote and change our country to a socialist or worst nation! That’s where my mind is, I am stuck right there! I have not heard anything from Trump regarding their offspring of “legal status” and if he is letting in single mothers or families…it does make a difference! I think they should pay to use our schools, etc and not have our social security! I still see them as unworthy to be here. Trump says he wants to process them quickly, why, why cant they wait behind every good citizen in another country who has waited for years and who deserves to be here. Whereas these illegals have been in our country ILLEGALLY already and used services and whatever, they should not have priority! In a way, this is not what I want and think of it as wrong! Who else can I vote for, no one! I want Trump but I don’t want this mob coming back into our country!
First problem: We already know that there are more than 11 million ILLEGALS occupying this country. Honesty is a must in dealing with them. Can we deport them? Absolutely; Hoover, Truman and Eisenhower did with far fewer resources than we have now. Further, once they see that we’re serious about deporting ILLEGALS, a continuing increasing number will self deport to prevent being labeled as INELIGIBLE TO RETURN.
Second, employers who hire ILLEGALS must be prosecuted.
Third, it must be recognized that no ILLEGAL will be allowed to jump in line in front of honest IMMIGRANTS (which illegals are NOT). We believe in a lawful process of IMMIGRATION which is controlled for THE BENEFIT OF THIS COUNTRY! We will not stand for being the world’s dumping ground!
If the gutless politicians want to blather on about IMMIGRATION, make them start with an accounting of all the crimes committed by ILLEGALS and finish with a accurate total of ALL their costs to the taxpayer
Are there any politicians who will stand up and do this? NO! They are all too C.S. to do their job, but Trump has a great chance to prove he will!
A Trump – Cruz ticket can do the job in either order.
Cut off ALL the benefits including jobs, health care and education and they will self deport. You won’t have to find them.
Try to find a Trump representative in your area and hammer, hammer, hammer away at them about your feelings about the illegal alien invasion. Give them a piece of your mind, but be respectful and gentlemanly. If you feel they are ignoring you, then get right in their faces and blurt it out for them. Sometimes, a little intimidation makes them grow up and find some semblance of courage to do what the electorate wants.
They are not US citizens. We have just been letting them get away with it. The 14th amendment does not give citizenship to babies born to foreigners on our soil. The proceedings to the 14th amendment were recorded in THE CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE OF 1866 and Jacob Howard, author of the line “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” was recorded as saying, “This will not include babies born to foreigners, aliens,…….”.
It does not get any more foreign than being here illegally.
Oh please, why do people keep pushing for Cruz on Trump articles?
Cruz wants to increase foreign work visas by 500% (look it up and watch Cruz say it) and he wants to give illegals work visas.
He also does not have Natural Born status. He would be the perfect first North American Union president though.
Ramrodd,
If you have the attitude that we will “never” deport them, then you are correct. Keep an attitude that says we “will” deport all illegal aliens occupying US territory. Do not back off, because if you do, then it will show you are resigning yourself to defeat. Just hold the line on deportation of illegal aliens and do not back down. I do that all the time in my public appearances, and I warn the audience that if I did not support deportation of “all” illegals, then there would be no debate about them and we might as well just surrender to Mexico and Central America.
Mr. Gilchrist, Cruz wants to increase foreign work visas by 500% and give illegals work permits and he supported TPA.
Also, he does not have Natural Born status. We must get back to the Natural Born requirement….being born in country to parentS that are citizens. He would make the perfect first North American Union president though.
too late…that already happened
First we secure the border by whatever means possible. But, we secure it. Then, we must make E-Verify the law of the land. Businesses who fail to follow must be heavily fined. If illegals cannot find work, thousands will self deport. And we must make it government policy that illegals will be given NOTHING in the way of government services. NO HANDOUTS OF ANY KIND. Period. Obama will fight that, because he wants to change the demographics of the U.S. for political reasons. So, we’ll need to elect a strong conservative POTUS in 2016 to get anything done. Trump sounds about right on ILLEGAL immigration…
At last someone who understands that Illegal’s are truly not under jurisdiction of our Gov’t. that you need to be a citizen FIRSs
Can’t prove you are a citizen, to bad, no food stamps, medical care, other than emergency, no benefits PERIOD, other than jail if you drive drunk or break any other law.
The government can’t find them but if they sent them a package by FedEx then they could arrest them, also them could pretend to give them a bunch of free stuff and catch them. Oh Hell were are doing that now.
Precisely.
Another man was recorded in the Globe as saying “loyalty to…”. One is subject to the jurisdiction of their own country….even if they are physically in the jurisdiction of another country.
That’s because Trump’s positions have evolved to match a lot of Cruz’s positions. The only major thing I disagree with Cruz on is his H1B visa policy. Trump isn’t perfect on that either though. He has tried to hire over a 1000 foreign workers for American jobs, and he was for amnesty just a few years ago. Either one of them will be way better for our country than anyone the libtards pick.
BTW, Cruz is a NBC. NBC was based on English common law not Vattel.
Nothing in English Common Law would give someone natural born status if they were born in a foreign country to a foreign father. Also, Cruz had Canadian citizenship. THAT also disqualifies him. In fact, he was not even eligible to hold his Senate seat because he had citizenship with Canada. Don’t tell me that he gave up his Canadian citizenship so now he’s eligible. You can never be a citizen of another country and be eligible to be president.
True, Obama usurped the presidency, but he can still be prosecuted.
Also, Cruz wants to give illegals work permits and don’t forget he supported TPA.
He would make the perfect first North American Union president though.
I agree 100% with you Sherri!!! Wish more people felt this way.
No matter how many times you state your lies and misinformation Ted Cruz is a NBC. He didn’t have to give up his Canadian citizenship to run for President. Your understanding of the Constitution is either limited or you just want to ignore it to try and convince people that Trump is our only choice.
Oh my gosh, you think someone with foreign citizenship is eligible to be president?
Your ignorance is BREATHTAKING.
I have no doubt that Cruz loves America and is a true Patriot. He renounced his Canadian citizenship to show his loyalty to the country he was raised in, the country his mother came from, and the country his father immigrated to.
You are not stupid so stop acting like it. Stating inaccurate comments on here will not change the law, and will get you and the other birthers nowhere. Dual citizenship wasn’t addressed in the requirements for President. Your version of NBC isn’t recognized either. I await your next response which I am sure will contain more of your idealistic interpretations of the law.
Such bullcrap.
The only definition then and now of NB is being born in country to parents who are citizens.
You can never have citizenship with another country and be eligible for president. How can you be so ignorant?
You are smarter than this. READ the Constitution!!! Whether it is right or wrong is not what we are debating, we are debating the legality of it. If you don’t like the law write some legislation to change it and send it to your legislator.
I heard the latest number they could track, but, is probably even more than this, is 36 million! Another thing Trump, “really good people”, don’t break the law in the first place.
They need to pay a fine for doing that.
KEEP THEM IN JAIL AFTER THEY SERVED THERE TIME IN JAIL THEN DEPORT THEM AND DO NOT LET THEM BACK IN AT ALL
Simple solution to Illegal immigrants: Use the same policy the countries these people came from. Just Google Mexico’s policy on Illegals. You Will be informed..
Donald Trump is a JEW with a JEW DAUGHTER.
What have the Jews had as the policy for all White nations for the past 50 years? Flood the White nations with non-Whites.
Will all of Donald Trump’s pretty words mean anything? Unlikely. Obama said a lot of pretty words. They were all lies too.
See: Vattel’s “Law of Nations” and Natural Born.
The term Natural Born Citizen came from English common law not Vattel’s book.
Think of all of the money Americans will save by not supporting the criminals in our very expensive jails!
