TRUMP: Undocumented Workers Can Stay ... BUT ONLY IF THEY WORK HARD
TMZ ^ | 06/27/2015 | TMZ

Posted on 06/27/2015 7:52:26 AM PDT by GIdget2004

Donald Trump says if he's elected president, he'd let undocumented workers who are productive stay in the United States, but if they just sponge off the system and don't contribute ... he'd have them deported.

Trump tells TMZ, he'd create a "system of merit," saying people here illegally should have "a road to legal status" if they work hard and contribute to the country.

Trump also says no one really knows how many people are in the U.S. illegally -- he cites different stats that show the figure is somewhere between 11 and 30 million. Trumps says it's unrealistic and inhumane to attempt to deport all of them. Thus, the merit system. He says many undocumented workers are "hardworking people" who deserve a chance to live the American dream.

The candidate was not specific about the criteria for being "productive," but he was specific that people who don't pay their freight over a period of time have no place here.

What does this thread have to do with Walker? Did Trump mention Walker when he announced his New Standard Of Good Illegals?

Whites are not going to do it as it is too hot for them. Pay more? White boys want easy work here. I roofed and unloaded box cars in the hot summer in VA at 16 years old. Also worked 9 on and 3 off on a scallop boat at 17.

LMAO!
Whateva, Trumpsta.

Many have defended Trump and on a variety of issues. Will they defend his advocating amnesty?

Probably.

It has become apparent to me that I live in a country where people will say anything and whatever it takes to get their chance to feed at the trough and wield power over others, and other people will say anything and whatever it takes to help those that tell them the lies that they prefer to hear get their chance to feed at the trough and wield power over others, because those people foolishly believe that crumbs will be tossed their way.

Nothing means anything in America anymore.

There is no history, there is no future.

There are no easy solutions to our predicament. Elections will not save us. Trump will not save us.

This house of cards is going to fall.

There is no job in the entire world that does not have a price point for indigenous labor. None. It is an economic fact. If I advertized for roofers at 50/hr I would get roofers. If I advertized for roofers at 8/hr I would get no roofers. So it is incumbent on the contractor to find the correct price point which is somewhere between 8 and 50.

Because a Walkerbot came on the thread attacking Trump so Walker is fair game. Walker is a GOPe default candidate who has no chance to win a general election.

I think he was just commenting on the subject of the thread, a subject that has to make anyone who has hopes for Trump feel more than a little sick and queasy. It’s Trump who displayed idiocy here, and I think it’s fair game to comment on that, given the subject of the thread. Don’t you?

I’ve been wondering why Michael Savage has been showing so much enthusiasm for Trump. Can’t figure it out.

Anyone who supports the legalization of the lawbreakers is an amnesty supporter. Attrition through enforcement is the solution. Trump and Cruz favor legalization, which is amnesty.

WEll then you better sit home in 2016 and not vote at all because all GOP candidates are going to grant some degree of amnesty. Or we can let Hillary win and she will never secure the border and let everyone stay and millions more come.

Illegals have a huge network. They tell their friends and family down in Mexico what a great place this is—jobs, welfare, food banks. When things start to turn against them that information network will be telling the people back in Mexico just the opposite—don’t come here the migra is cracking down on us, this time they really mean it.

Trump fans have become masters of deflection.
