Donald Trump forcefully fought off attacks by pro-illegal alien politicians like John Kasich and defended both a strong defense of our Southern Border and serious immigration law enforcement.
“We are a country of laws,” the real estate mogul declared. “We need borders. We will have a wall. The wall will be built. The wall will be successful. And if you think walls don’t work, all you have to do is ask Israel. The wall works, believe me, properly done. Believe me.”
When pressed by Maria Bartiromo on whether he would really deport the millions of illegal aliens currently in the country, Trump affirmed that he would, saying “we either have a country or we don’t.”
When Kasich used the establishment argument that it’s impossible to actually enforce the law because there are just too many criminals running around, Trump invoked former President Dwight D. Eisenhower:
“Come on folks!” he cried. “We all know you can’t pick them up and ship them back across the border. It’s a silly argument. It’s not an adult argument. It makes no sense.”
Trump responded by pointing to the ultimate success of Operation Wetback in the days of President Eisenhower.
“Let me just tell you that Dwight Eisenhower … moved a million and a half illegal immigrants out of this country, moved them just beyond the border; they came back,” Trump explained. “Moved them again beyond the border, they came back. Didn’t like it; moved them way south. They never came back.
“Dwight Eisenhower. You don’t get nicer, you don’t get friendlier; they moved a million and a half people out. We have no choice. We have no choice.”
