Graham: Trump going backward on immigration
thehill.com ^ | 8/16/15 | Vicki Needham

Posted on 08/16/2015 1:13:04 PM PDT by cotton1706

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) expressed concern Sunday that the Republicans’ leading candidate for the 2016 GOP presidential nomination is going down the wrong road on immigration reform.

Graham said that Donald Trump is embracing self-deportation that calls for all 11 million illegal immigrants to walk back to where they came from and “maybe we’ll let some of them come back.”

“But I hope we don’t go down that road as a party,” Graham told CBS’s “Face the Nation.”

“So the leading contender Mr. Trump is going backward on immigration and I think he will take us all with him if we don’t watch it,” he said.

Doesn’t matter if he gets traction in the polls. The networks will keep inviting him on regardless. He’s been a fixture of the Sunday shows for years. The network producers have an agenda in making him the voice of the GOP.

Why? Because The Ministry Of Propaganda has a very close relationship with The Cheap Labor Express. They have the same goal of flooding the country with foreigners.

Linda has been a useful propagandist for them.

It’s more like 40 - 50 million, not 11 million.

From my post on another thread....

Trump reiterated: "They have to go."

Ha....notice the Trump style....

He repeated more forecfully his previous answer

(the short and snappy sound bite worthy .... "They have to go.")

Then turned his head and answered another (different) question.

If it had been someone else (GOPe, Bush, Rubio, Rand..Lindsy etc...)

then the GOPe would have expanded on the answer in PC terms....

with mumbles and back track and opening for more questions.

"They have to go." is the definitive answer we all want to hear...and Trumps polling data will get another boost.

So he gets my vote.

Do those things and illegal aliens will deport themselves and pay for the trip.

And that includes Fox News. He’s at the top of their Rolodex just as much as at the other networks. To tune in on Sunday mornings, you’d think Graham and McCain were the only Republicans in the Sentate — one or both of them are ALWAYS on one or more of the Sunday shows. Meanwhile, 50 other Republican senators are treated as if they don’t exist.

I have read Trump’s position paper on illegal immigration. I have no idea where Linda is getting the self-deport crap. To tell you truth, I could see self-deportation taking place, but only from the standpoint that illegals would leave once they hear how much fun it is to be deported.

Effeminate males like you with your incomprehensible support of illegals is exactly why the GOP is irrelevant to many today.

Trump is hitting the buttons with Republicans, Democrats, Independents, and Non-Voters that your party just can't man-up to provide.

People love emphatic rulers when they have been bogged down in government inaction and weakness.

And this is fine, as long as the rulers don’t “bugger” the system.

It’s good that folks are taking a while to warm up to Trump, to see what he is going to be about. I think they know that just because a prospective ruler is emphatic doesn’t mean he is up to only good things. WWII Germany, need I say more. (Though I will. Dear old Adolph was a raw worshiper of power. Trump does not seem to have that problem.)

If the welfare streams were cut off, they’d go. No more pot of jam to feed on.

After reading the Trump Immigration platform: Thank you, Sen. Graham, as your presidential campaign is now officially over.

My sister and her husband from California voted for Bill Clinton, Gore, Kerry, and twice for Obama. She has been a huge fan of Hillary. Ever since moving to California from Michigan (where she used to be for Gerald Ford) she has become a liberal democrat. What is in California water?

Anyway, I am in total shock today. I just got off the phone with her, and she is talking about voting for Trump over Hillary! Main reason is she has realized Trump can be his own man, and will not be a puppet of any rich donors.

Now I am convinced Trump will do very well in general.
