Media very confused as Trump maintains same immigration stance he's held all along

Subtlety is his thing but not theirs, apparently

We talked last week about how just about everyone is getting Donald Trump’s position on immigration wrong. He is not going to round up 11 million people and deport them. Never was. Never will. What he’s said all along was that everyone in the U.S. illegally will be subject to deportation, which means that unlike Obama and Hillary he’s not going to concede up front that they’ll be given a pass for breaking the law. He will prioritize those who are lawbreakers or otherwise causing problems in deciding who to deport, but no one just gets - for lack of a better term - flat out amnesty.

You might not get deported. But legal authorities are not going to declare you above the law.

They’re confused about how to spin this as a negative.

1. Trump’s signature issue: ‘We will build a great wall along the southern border. And Mexico will pay for the wall.’

2. A pledge to begin deporting more border-crossers instead of engaging them in long, drawn-out legal proceedings: ‘We’re going to end catch-and-release.’

3. ‘Zero tolerance for criminal aliens,’ and a promise to deport ‘illegal immigrants who are arrested for any crime whatsoever.’

4. Trump would ‘block funding for sanctuary cities’ that refuse to turn over criminal aliens to the federal government for deportation.

5. ‘Cancel unconstitutional executive orders’ – a code for President Obama’s ‘deferred action’ orders that protect an estimated 5 million illegal immigrants and their family members from deportation.

6. Trump would ‘suspend the issuance of visas’ to people from countries ‘where adequate screening cannot occur,’ including ‘places like Syria and Libya.’

7. Unspecified action against the 23 countries that refuse to accept their own citizens after the U.S. deports them.

8. A ‘biometric entry-exit visa tracking system’ like one that Congress has demanded, a system that would help authorities identify and remove the half-million visa holders who stay longer than allowed each year.

9. A strict use of the ‘e-verify’ employment system in order to ‘turn off the jobs and benefits magnet’ that lures foreigners into the U.S.

10. The formation of an ‘immigration commission’ that would change the criteria for entering the U.S., selecting immigrants ‘based on their likelihood of success in U.S. society, and their ability to be financially self-sufficient.’

I like that he is going to have benefits turned off to them, no more government hand outs to illegals

Glad he said that, big selling point to moderates who hate welfare abuse

Hillary promised executive amnesty to 40 million illegals.

is that true or not?

It is and that means 10’s of millions of more voters for Hillary/socialism. Hillary is worse than ObAMA AND Chavez combined. If Hillary wins America is done and will become Venezuela . They have no food nor medicine in Venezuela now because of socialism. it doesn't work. first Hillary will implement single payer healthcare. this is not sundandc this is me , Google it. it's true . and all that don't do everything to stop Hilliary it's what they are doing is destroying America.

Trump last night outlined his immigration policy in a speech. Ann coulter said that was the greatest speech she ever heard and I agree. why don't you all read it or see it? All Americans have to unite to defeat Hillary the communist = Chavez

Help spread all this message above to all Americans . Hillary is 1 million times worse than Obama .

As the Chief Executive of the Executive branch of government, Trump will execute the laws as written.

This is outrageous! Unheard of! No one’s ever done that! Can’t the media stop him?!?!

He totally played them. Made them perk up and give close coverage because they thought he was going to flip-flop, and then once he had the platform, used it to hammer home what he’s been saying all along, only now with several million more listeners.

I hope when Trump attempts to clarify an issue from now on, we won’t all freak out and claim he is compromising.

You can go to the I.C.E. Website or the State Dept’s for that information.

Or you can google, “23 countries not accepting US deportees”...

Is this for your homework assignment tonight?

This is a perfect lesson in how to combat media manipulation: you let them make fools of themselves. The "Trump flip-flopped" stories were falling like bird poop from a flock of parrots, and in 24 hours Trump met with a head of state to validate the thing, and then reiterated his policies in a sold-out venue with the entire country watching. That's mighty tough to spin, although they're giving it their best shot.

Hillary is still mailing it in. I suspect someone on her staff has convinced her that she has it so much in the bag that she doesn't even have to go through the motions. That has been a fatal mistake many times before.

Under current law illegal aliens who leave on their own can get in line for proper entry.

Those we have to deport have to wait 10 years.

Publicize the facts.

This is outrageous! Unheard of! No one’s ever done that! Can’t the media stop him?!?!

************************************

The Ministry of Propaganda has been trying to stop him precisely because it is outrageous to the Cheap Labor Express.
They are determined to prevent the citizens from reversing 30 years of bipartisan policy of non-enforcement.
The illegal alien inundation was intentional.
Some of their stooges wear R jerseys and some of them have radio shows.
