A straw man at the scarecrow convention.
Doesn’t need to. Most would leave by themselves after a few high profile arrests.
1) Enforce, and I mean, REALLY enforce E-Verify. Make an example of the first few employers who violate it by giving them long stretches at Leavenworth. The rest will quickly get the hint.
2) Build the damned wall!
3) Once the wall is up, announce that you will be making available a limited amount of Green Cards each year for citizens of Mexico, but that they can ONLY be applied for in-person at the US Embassy in Mexico City.
They’ll start self-deporting quicker than you can say guacamole.
Curious. We can’t afford to send them back but we can pay them to stay here...
I don’t care that people claim ‘He can’t deport 20 million illegals.’ I care that he’s willing to imply that we should.
It’s like the border fence. Israel has one - and it reduced, by some accounts, terrorist bombings in Israel by 90%. Saudi Arabia, I believe, is building one, too - not to mention that there’s a nice one around the White House.
See, good fences do make good neighbors.
Yes. Once the wall is built. A wall like Israel has.
So the unasked and unanswered question is: if the policy of indiscriminate birthright citizenship is ended, should children already afforded citizenship be allowed to keep their status? In other words, should they be grandfathered in? Should United States law state that going forward, citizenship will not be awarded to the offspring of illegal resident parents?
Yes.
Can he or can’t he? Who knows? However — he is a man who has a very long history of getting things done. I’d like to see him get the chance. I bet we’d be amazed at the positive changes that would come from someone who really loves America for a change.
Fact is we need some very draconian measures to right the wrongs of the past 25 years, because we’re already in free fall.
Many of these people either willfully ignore this reality or just prefer to keep their heads in the sand. Or they just don’t care.
We the People can do whatever we put our collective minds to do. It’s time we stopped listening to those who say making America great again is beyond our reach.
YES.... we can anything we are America! Once Trump is elected we can only pray them mothers run for the border.
There are two plausible answers to this important question:
1) Yes, we could deport 20 million wetbacks. We put a man on the moon. We dug the Panama canal. We mustered the logistics capability to fight a multi-front war in Afghanistan with quite limited assistance from its neighbors and no easy access. (That last accomplishment is actually the relevant one.) If we put our Yankee can-do minds to the problem, you BET we could find and deport FORTY million, if need be.
2) We don’t need to deport 20 million, anyhow, even though we could. We need to deport absolutely as many as we practically can, as soon as we can — and make life for the ones that remain as miserable as possible; then many will leave on their own.
No, a law abiding, America loving potus would not have to round up anybody. Just go after American businesses that employ these crimigrants. Fine them. Heavily.
Go after landlords that rent to crimigrants. Fine them as well.
Make life difficult for the invaders and they'll go home on their own. And meanwhile, build the freaking wall!
Don’t have to. Deny them benefits, use Mexico’s illegal alien laws and they’ll self deport.
My guess is that he'd have a lot of help if he asked. A lot of volunteers willing to pitch in. Bwahahaha....
More like 40 - 50 million.....and counting!
Can’t is what demokrats and vichy republikkanners spout out of their pie holes...
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - take away the free welfare, schooling, housing, and all the other benefits that are STOLEN from American taxpayers and most will leave on their own.
Come to think of it, take those benefits away from the 80-90% of the American recipients that are merely gaming the system and they might leave too!
No need for a roundup; cut off all support mechanisms, simultaneously force Mexico and all other countries to take them back, they will leave, now as for illegals that are gang members yeah round them up with force, that image alone will send a message that all other illegals are in dire straights, after that the rest will leave through attrition, there will be many details involved to address all the questions but basically it should be simple and not all that expensive, there are many ways to force countries to take them back and treat them humanly.
Of course the liberal democrat/rino communists and their minions of media heads will explode, the solution, the more they cry the faster and harder you push, you know you are being successful, ultimately if the American people are for you who can be against you.
The concept of a “roundup” is a leftist red herring, never proposed by any candidate.
1-Build the Fence
2-Enforce E-Verify
3-Deport the criminals
4-Stop providing taxpayer benefits to Illegals.
5-Direct the border patrol to immediately return those crossing illegally.
6-Fine employers using Illegal labor.
After these policies have been in force for a few years, those here illegally will self-deport.
All he has to do is hammer (hard) the businesses (enablers) who hire them.
