Donald Trump Releases Plan to Combat Illegal Immigration
NY Times ^ | 8/16/15 | NICK CORASANITI

Posted on 08/16/2015 3:16:40 PM PDT by jimbo123

After staking his early campaign on caustic and controversial remarks about undocumented immigrants, Donald J. Trump on Sunday outlined his plan to fix the country’s immigration system and deal with people who are in the country illegally.

The position paper, published on Mr. Trump’s website Sunday morning, centered on three principles. The first stated that “a nation without borders is not a nation” — a theme Mr. Trump has made a constant in his stump speeches — and called for a wall to be built along the southern border.

He also repeated his promise to make Mexico pay for the wall and laid out how he would do it: largely through increasing fees on border movement between the United States and Mexico.

“We will not be taken advantage of anymore,” the plan states.

Mr. Trump’s proposal also calls for strengthening the “enforcement arm” of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement office, to be paid for by “eliminating tax credit payments to illegal immigrants.”

Mr. Trump’s campaign released the plan moments after the candidate appeared in a wide-ranging interview with NBC’s Chuck Todd on “Meet the Press,”

The Catholic bishops will oppose Trump’s plan. It might cut down on rapes and murders by illegal aliens—and rich, white Americans need to be punished much, much more than they have been already.

It should be fun to watch the media heads exploding as this gets out.

What words will they - and Hillary - use to try to slander it? "Heartless"? "Impractical"? "Racist"?

And they'll all be doubly pissed when, sure enough, the polls show the American public liking it.

You posted this in 4 different threads. Have you been hacked or are you just really fixed on this idea? You really don’t make lots of sense and if you think Trump is fooling the conservatives I respectfully disagree. He is giving hope that America can find its way again. He is saying things I have been saying for years. But when he says them the ideas reverberate, and spread into public discourse. The ruling class has becomes afraid that their control is weakening and America may rise again. Go Trump! If you are afraid of voter fraud you are not alone but if the people get out and vote this time as they will if they see someone worth voting for America will prevail.

1) Trump gets MTP to do a 16 minute bit on Trumps campaign
2) Trump creates the sound bite “They have to Go”
3) MTP teases the Sunday Morning bit on Saturday
4) MTP panel laughs and points out Trump has no concrete Policies
5) Trump drops his Immigration plan, capturing this weeks news cycle.

Trump has yet to spend dime one on TV or Radio ads.
