Well, that doesn’t make any sense.
The optimist’s interpretation of this would be that Trump, having established that a hard line against the alien invasion is a winning position, is now taking a dive in favor of Ted Cruz, who can run a more overtly anti-invasion campaign.
If we were electing a King/Emperor I would worry. If I sensed Trump would not enforce existing laws I would worry. In my opinion, Trump will probably evolve on amnesty as he gets more facts and input from voters; regardless, he will stop the bleeding first by securing border and enforcing current immigration laws...
1. Close the borders.
2. Get rid of all the convicted felons etc.
3. Get rid of sanctuary cities.
4. An illegal commits a crime, deport his ass immediately.
5. Check ID for every service, INCLUDING SCHOOLS AND HOSPITALS. Other than emergency lifesaving, do not give benefits to illegals.
Once all the above is done, the ones who stay are the good, hard working people who stay below the radar. They cannot bring their families here unless they go through legal channels. They can’t go home or they can’t get back in. So they will be more American and eventually their generation will die off. Future generations of immigrants should be from all over the world, not just Mexico and Central America.
Trump was the only one THE ONLY ONE...THAT KICKED MEXICO IN THE TEETH ABOUT IMMIGRATION.
soooo he is in the lead.
Hey what a surprise.
This is not Breaking News and the title is a lie not supported in the text.
Reality: Most of these immigrants aren’t going to be leaving for one simple reason-they are needed to pay the SS and Medicare for the greedy baby-boomer generation.
Well that’s a shame.
For openers, I should probably note that I am not a Donald Trump supporter.
Still, the qualifying phrase, "who owns three New Jersey golf courses and once owned three Atlantic City casinos," is an example of the argumentum ad passiones fallacy (or an appeal to emotion).
I swear, it seems sometimes like the whole population is incapable of comprehending plain English.
These pundits are always trying to ‘nuance’ words into our guy’s mouths that they DID NOT SAY.
What Trump DID say, is that:
1. He wants the bad actors out NOW.
2. He appreciates the fact that some illegals have worked hard, and have committed no other crimes.
3. That the southern border has to be closed before ANYTHING happens with regards to the working illegals.
That’s it. He’s not calling for amnesty. He says he doesn’t know what the ultimate solution to the 30 million will be, but that he believes in the ‘merit system’. How that merit will be determined, and what final allowances will be granted to those people, is unknown at present.
What I do know, is that if Trump keeps his cool, he’s going to attract millions of moderates, Independents, and Democrat voters to his bandwagon. If he starts talking like Atila The Hun right now, he’s going to turn off everyone but Free Republic.
He’s already got a lot of support from non-conservatives, simply because he’s going as far as he is, with this issue. It’s pretty obvious that a huge majority of Americans want SOMETHING DONE to stop the invasion and get rid of the worst offenders.
Trump is the ONLY one who’s promising Americans that he’ll get the job done.
Start talking about loading train cars with illegals, and he’ll lose them all. This needs to be done a step at a time. You can’t expect those in the mushy middle and center left to come to full awareness overnight. A step at a time, people.
The logistics once that is done will be trying and there won't be an easy and quick fix no matter anyone's desires or philosophies on the matter.
Disappointing? Is Greenfield that naïve? Trump’s a DNC Trojan Horse.
