What EXACTLY will he do with the illegals here? And waiting for them to self-deport while providing no motivation other than removing welfare, etch (although that is a great thing!) isn’t enough because many will stay and live through crime, Catholic Charities, working under the table - like some do now.
I was for Cruz, waited MONTHS for his immigration plan, switched when I was tired of waiting and Trump’s straight talking plan came out, read Cruz’s plan which was vague on what he’d do with the illegals here, watched him refuse to say deport except for those committing other crimes, even watched him use lawyer-speak ‘intend’ to weasel out of being clear. And his amnesty-loving donors as well.
I think he’ll pass amnesty (let them stay), eventually a legal status equals citizenship then tens of millions of democrat voters means it doesn’t matter how conservative he is on other issues, conservatism is dead here.
the new president can enforce existing laws as he sees fit. however to go beyond existing law with respect to the illegals, he must deal with congress.
As I see it in the future, there will by the strictest definition be amnesty. To pass, the congress will make some accommodation, we do not know what.
A conservative congress is necessary to make the best possible accommodation that the president will accept.
