--TRUMP UNVEILS HIS IMMIGRATION PLAN, CALLS FOR END TO BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP: Donald Trump released his specific plan for immigration reform yesterday, ABC's JOHN SANTUCCI reports. In the 6-page report titled "Immigration Reform That Will Make America Great Again," Trump is calling for an end to birthright citizenship, saying it "remains the biggest magnet for illegal immigration." Trump again repeated his commitment to build a wall on the United States' southern border. Outlining his plan, Trump's policy seeks to "impound all remittance payments derived from illegal wages; increase fees on all temporary visas issued to Mexican CEOs and diplomats (and if necessary cancel them); increase fees on all border crossing cards -- of which we issue about 1 million to Mexican nationals each year (a major source of visa overstays); increase fees on all NAFTA worker visas from Mexico (another major source of overstays); and increase fees at ports of entry to the United States from Mexico [Tariffs and foreign aid cuts are also options]." http://abcn.ws/1NySqDC HOW TRUMP COULD WIN IOWA with ABC's MATTHEW DOWD: http://abcn.ws/1DZLsYr
--WHAT THE DEMOCRATS ARE SAYING: Democratic National Committee Director of Hispanic Media, Pablo Manriquez, responded to Trump's immigration plan: "Trump has reignited the GOP's longstanding obsession with mass deportation. Like his fellow GOP candidates Jeb Bush, Scott Walker, Marco Rubio and others, GOP front runner trump dismisses a full and equal pathway to citizenship for hardworking immigrants. The GOP should quit treating these families as second class citizens and join democrats who support immigrant families and want to keep them together."(continued)

This alone is reason enough to vote for Trump.
I’m not a Trump guy, I’d rather have Cruz, but I’ll tell you this, he is on a roll.
If Trump starts polling with support from 10%+ of voting Democrats, the RNC had better figure out a way to get the hell out of his way.
No, Trump is not a Constitutional conservative, but if he’ll act on immigration and reverse Obama, that may be enough.
The problem is, he’ll need a willing Republican congress that doesn’t try to get to the Left of him on everything.

Ann Coulter and I agree with you.
About time!
Get it right, ABC (too much to hope for).
“. Like his fellow GOP candidates Jeb Bush, Scott Walker, Marco Rubio and others, GOP front runner trump dismisses a full and equal pathway to citizenship for hardworking immigrants.”
He left off, “Who came to this country illegally.”
Does any other country in the world have birthright citizenship?
Since Obama did all his EOs, would Trump as POTUS be able to make IDs for voting mandatory ???
I don’t know, but Japan is pretty much the opposite of us. It is almost impossible to become a Japanese citizen in any way, shape or form.
Only 30 of the world’s 194 countries grant automatic citizenship to children born to illegal aliens.
Of advanced economies, Canada and the United States are the only countries that grant automatic citizenship to children born to illegal aliens.
No European country grants automatic citizenship to children of illegal aliens.
The global trend is moving away from automatic birthright citizenship as many countries that once had such policies have ended them in recent decades.
Trump is threatening one of the Dems greatest objectives. Millions of new Dem voters. LOL!
Canada is the only other country in the developed world that has birthright citizenship. We need to end it.
Right now, I would say that a Pres Trump could do just about anything.
Judge Neapolto (SP) is on Fox right now trashing Trump’s immigration policy saying he can’t deport children born here since they are considered U.S. citizens. I’m not sure that is what the 14th Amendment says. Then he said that illegals have to have a hearing before a judge before being deported. If Jeff Sessions worked with him on this, I would think Senator Sessions knows the law better than Judge what’s his name.
The Judge is wrong. You can deport minor US citizen children with their parents unless there is an appointed guardian to take care of them.
This should definitely happen. The US and Canada are the only two developed nations that grant birthright citizenship. It’s a ridiculous and self-destructive policy.
Yes I watched him.. idiot says that the Constitution says they are citizens “Regardless of the mother being an illegal alien” (Para)
the 14th Amendment does not say that..
