What about deportation?
He has repeatedly said they need to be deported.
But even if he didn’t, what’s laid out in this plan is huge because it addresses every weak point in our current illegal immigration policy-—which is no policy at all.
And if any other Repub candidate does not begin to echo this loudly and often, then they have disqualified themselves.
I'd say it's included in #2. No need to make deportation stand out from all the others. Just enforce the law. Deportation is the law. I'm sure he'll be asked about again, so he can clarify. But it doesn't have to be a separate item in his written policy.
2. A nation without laws is not a nation. Laws passed in accordance with our Constitutional system of government must be enforced.
I understand Trump wants every illegal deported.
If they have young kids anchor babies, the entire family must leave together!
to be fair, we have been saying “secure the border first” on our side for a while. So he’s saying to us “OK, I’m gonna secure the border first”.
Who gets deported can be dealt with later.
his plan states mandatory use of E-Verify by all employers. That would cut off most jobs.
We don’t have to deport them. If the illegal aliens don’t have jobs they will deport themselves back to where they came from. Problem solved.
If they make the penalty something like $30,000 per employee violation and jail time for the employers there will be a LOT of unemployed illegal aliens in about one week. Again, problem solved.
I think this alone could win the presidency for Trump. I hope he offers Cruz the VP spot. That would be a fantastic group. I would volunteer for that campaign.
The key is to make it downright hostile here so these human cockroaches would self-deport themselves.
I'd like to see something (as advocated by Cruz and others) about denying federal funds to all "refuge cities" that shelter illegals, as well as a crackdown on any and all Federal, state, and local agencies that provide social services to illegals. Then the ones who we can't catch and deport would self-deport.
“deportation?”
Deportation is indeed the main issue.
Without deportation you have defacto amnesty
