Yes and it’s true. Illegal immigrants with criminal records are being released by the DHS and nobody is getting deported. That’s a fact. I don’t know what’s so controversial about this statement.
It isn’t the fact he said “Defacto”. It is the impression that I get from him as he is resigned to the fact of it and oh-so-willing for immigration reform, not of the kind that protects this country’s sovereignty.

Several questions are posed to him by a WNDTV reporter and he talks at length on this. His main theme is “fix the border” and then ‘normalize’ these people. He is very vague about just exactly what ‘normalize’ is, but it does include work visas, ‘getting them into the process’, paying taxes, etc. He even goes to the canard “there are some jobs (agricultural) that Americans WON’T do” and if they didn’t we’d starve. Horseshit. Growers would be forced to raise wages and the prices would go up - capitalism.
I am all for ‘fixing the border’. I am against legalizing any invader I don’t care how long they have been here. They are, in fact, criminals - willing or unwilling. And, his extended answers to the WNDTV series of questions gives me the willies. If he gets his version of ‘fixing the border’ it seems he’s willing to bend over backwards to legalize these 11 million (actually much more than that).
I’m not buying it.
It isn’t controversial. It is a red herring , it smells fishy and nobody is buying. I already destroyed the “de facto amnesty” canard in my initial post.
