Republican candidate Donald Trump’s platform: Because I said so
The Washington Post's Politics ^ | August 1, 2015 | David A. Fahrenthold

Posted on 08/01/2015 8:56:11 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Donald Trump wants to make America great again. This is how he wants to do it:

If Trump were elected president, he says, he would launch the U.S. government into a massive building project — and a massive manhunt — both at once.

On the U.S.-Mexico border, Trump would build a long, impenetrable wall. In the rest of the country, he would pressure the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants to “self-deport” — and, if they don't, round them up to deport en masse. Later, Trump says, “the good ones” could come back.

He also wants to go on a building spree.

Modern new VA hospitals. Better bridges, highways, railroads. A new floor at LaGuardia Airport, to replace that shabby terrazzo Trump hates. And, to pay for it all, Trump would not raise taxes. He’d lower them....

While the GOPE and Dems wants immigration to remain the same or keep increasing it.

Wait, what?
Even the WaPo says he wants a policy wherein all illegals must leave or be deported.

I read here on FR he was for work permits and against deportation...

Hmmm
Could Brietbart have writers with an agenda?

Every site on Earth has an agenda.

Yeah the only one who has used the word "deport" is Trump.

I usually like Ben, but he has shown a little Trump Derangement Syndrome of late.

If caught at or near the border, they can be put to work immediately building the wall. If Mexico doesn’t like it, too bad.

Geez Brietbart never reported that Trump was against deportation. Brietbart did report that Trump wanted to expedite the "good ones” to come back.

That's called amnesty and there are probably about 20 million of them.

Or it could a very very much smaller number that come back in a temp. legal status without citizenship.

The United States had a Mexican temporary workers program that spanned from the 40s to 1960s.

Breitbart - One Voice Silenced, Millions Awakened

The Trump candidacy has revealed just how inaccurate, deceptive, and misleading, the flow of information we receive is..It is truly, proof of concept, that what they are feeding us is not a gauge of what of the majority of Americans feel about the issues.

By misinforming, and distorting, the reality they are able to project false realities, thus controlling outcomes.

For example, as pertains to Trump, had he been anyone else, he would have capitulated in the wake of the "false realities" and contrived stories.

We would have never know what the people really think.. By standing, not capitulating Trump has allowed us to see the magnitude of deception, and the hidden agendas they propagate.

We have never seen this before, at least I have not in my lifetime.

This is what is so confounding the propagandist media, political elites..Here is a poll from today that gauged Hispanic voters..You can see it is the opposite of what we have been told..

POLL: Trump Leads GOP Field In Among Hispanics, Records 34% Favorability..Closest To Trump Is Bush at 27%..others lag substantially behind.

See what happens when you speak truth??

I’d be down for shutting down all immigration and process 1 mil/yr of illegals under strict criteria until done.

Many families oame regularly to work he produce fields. When the drug cartels took over their villages in Mexico we made sure they found winter jobs and housing and the kids stayed and went to school. Some of their children now have college educations. Now families don’t come. Just young men (all legal workers)
