You are correct. This is a Dishonest representation of what Trump meant and said. Yes, they will be deported and yes, they can come back but only through legal channels.
“Yes, they will be deported and yes, they can come back but only through legal channels.”
The qualifier Trump has used is “some” will come back.
No, they would not be eligible to come back “through legal channels” at all under our current law. Trump not only would make their return legal—he would expedite their return.
That is the straightforward “touchback amnesty” that the GOPe tried to use to get amnesty by the base almost a decade ago.
