"Donald Trump estimated that it will take 18 months to two years to get the roughly 11 million immigrants living in the U.S. illegally to leave the country, and that he would then build a wall running along the border with Mexico.
The businessman’s statement made on a call with Alabama Republicans Thursday night added a bit of specificity to the Republican presidential frontrunner’s hardline stance on immigration. Mr. Trump released a six-page policy paper on immigration last month, and reporters have asked for details about how it would work since....
.....“We have to get them out. If we have wonderful cases, they can come back in but they have to come back in legally,” Mr. Trump said in an audio clip posted on YouTube Thursday night by a person on the call.
Mr. Trump’s plan has been denounced by Democrats and many rival Republicans, who have called it impractical and immoral, among other criticisms.
Mr. Trump said he would remove illegal immigrants from the country “so fast that your head will spin,” and long before he could embark on his plan to build a wall spanning the 1,900 mile border between the U.S. and Mexico.
Mr. Trump also attacked Mr. Carson, and said the neurosurgeon couldn’t achieve the same results on immigration.
“It wouldn’t work for him because he has absolutely no management capability,” Mr. Trump said......
Why is it that everyone implies that Trump is going to do as the good sheriff implies? It is not and will not be necessary if the laws already on the books are enforced and enforced on everyone, especially the cheap labor lobby of the CoC.
I say the immediate thing to bring into effect is not THREATEN compliance and enforcement of e-verify, but to enforce it very publicly. Nobody has any intention of just busting into anyone’s house unless probable cause and a court order, under the laws, is presented. And then just a simple knock on the door will suffice.
If they come into contact will law enforcement, even for a broken tail light, arrest if they are illegally here, process at ICE and on the bus they go.
The remaining will self deport much faster than the two year estimate given by Trump. His coming back legally means get into the back of the line. That is the way it is done legally, no line jumping, no get out of jail free cards, no go directly to “GO”. Those interested on playing by the rules will do just that. Those here for nefarious goals will not leave willingly and they are the ones who will be forced out or try to duke it out in a final blaze of glory.
