It’s more than immigration. Trump got the media attention, but his immigration plan is not significantly better than Cruz.
I’m for Trump because Trump understands the Economy and the roll that our stupid so-called free trade deals have had in de-industralizing the country and causing our high unemployment. (Immigration hasn’t helped, but 12 or 30 million illegals didn’t put 100 million Americans on food stamps). Unbalanced Trade is #1 and Trump gets it. Trump will fix it while no other candidate even sees it as a problem.
You know what youth unemployment is in the United States of America today? If you're a white high school graduate, it's 33 percent, Hispanic 36 percent, African American 51 percent. You think we should open the borders and bring in a lot of low-wage workers, or do you think maybe we should try to get jobs for those kids? I think from a moral responsibility we've got to work with the rest of the industrialized world to address the problems of international poverty, but you don't do that by making people in this country even poorer.Bernie Sanders: It would make everybody in America poorer —you're doing away with the concept of a nation state, and I don't think there's any country in the world that believes in that. If you believe in a nation state or in a country called the United States or UK or Denmark or any other country, you have an obligation in my view to do everything we can to help poor people. What right-wing people in this country would love is an open-border policy. Bring in all kinds of people, work for $2 or $3 an hour, that would be great for them. I don't believe in that. I think we have to raise wages in this country, I think we have to do everything we can to create millions of jobs.
The sentence in bold refers, of course, to the "Chamber of Commerce right-wing" and their lapdogs in the Republican party.
