He won’t be deporting people other than the criminal element which they should be doing anyway....but of course Trump supporters will accept that as Trump doing what he said he’d do if he wins. He can play is supporters very easily and he knows that.

Be more specific on where you think he’s going to balance this.....he won’t take from social security and other entitlements as he’s Promised to keep these untouched.....which leaves the military being cut and or education, which he has said he won’t touch wither.

So where is he going to cut spending...be specific????????

Instead of trying to get me to do your homework for you, let me help you out a little bit here: Trump's immigration plan.

Obviously, controlling illegal immigration is going to have a lot of 2nd and 3rd order effects. The money we are spending on health care, the money lost by illegals not paying taxes, the money we are spending on social programs and education, all for illegals, all adds up to considerable savings realized just from controlling illegal immigration. And so on, if you examine the other policies--they amount to spending cuts without specifically stating so.

Add to that the effect that getting all the people back to work that Obama has left unemployed, which results in less social spending.

Someone who runs on "cutting spending" without a real plan is running on nothing. Trump is running with real plans that will end up decreasing spending without specifically saying so, because the decreased spending is a 2nd or 3rd order effect.

Face it, even talking about cutting certain programs like Social Security results in major tantrums and fear-mongering from the left. Remember how Bush was portrayed as throwing grandma down the stairs, when he proposed a plan to privatize Social Security and put people in charge of their own retirement? Trump knows the left and is very aware of the tantrums they will throw if he talks directly about getting rid of those bloated programs. So, instead, he has policies that will decrease the bloat indirectly. He is also wisely picking a few (seven) policies to showcase in his campaign. A lot more does need to be done, but he understands that no one can do everything--so he has picked a few key areas to focus on.

I'll be honest--all I see in Cruz is someone with no real plan, no real world experience, busy trying to create an image of himself as the "one true conservative." It is nothing more than an image, and he pushes the image because, as far as actual plans and actions go, he is in over his head. Most voters see that. The recent NY primary and polling data show that.

A simple 20% across the board import tariff balances the budget tomorrow.
