RNC chair Reince Priebus insists Trump is 'not calling for mass deportation'
The Week ^ | Nov. 9, 2016 | Becca Stanek

Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus assured America on Wednesday morning that its next president, Donald Trump, does not actually want to deport millions of undocumented immigrants. "He's not calling for mass deportation. He said, 'no, only people who have committed crimes and only until all of that has been taken care of do we look at what we do next,'" Priebus said during an appearance on MSNBC's Morning Joe after Election Day.

Priebus also clarified that Trump wasn't actually proposing to temporarily ban all Muslims from entering the U.S. Though Trump has explicitly said we must have a "total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on," Priebus insisted Trump wasn't in favor of "banning a particular religion." "[I]t was making sure that if immigration was coming from countries that were harboring terrorism, that we were going to look at the country and perhaps suspend temporarily immigration from that country," Priebus said.

Reince Priebus is AMAZING and performed miracles to get Trump elected. I hope he receives a cabinet position, although it would be a terrible shame to lose him working so tirelessly to get Republicans elected. He put together a plan, rebuilt the party and deserves our gratitude. Read up on the guy, and listen to what Trump says about him and not what the media liars try to pretend to be the truth. He’s a winner and we are lucky to have him on our side.

The RNC does NOT speak for Donald Trump.

This election should have made that quite clear.

ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS have no claim here. In no other country would you be allowed to call a Press Conference, declare proudly you are illegal, demand benefits for you and your children, accuse the government of being evil for wanting to deport you and stay.

Rience went against the mainstream GOPee #NeverTrunpers who put him in charge before Yheb! went down in flames. He was WAY better in supporting Trump than his long term bud, PRyno. I was plesently supprised.

How was he pre-11/9? All but f#cking invisible.

Do not forget, do not forgive. Actions have consequences. This election victory is not a mandate to return to the Bush soft socialism.

The RINOs need to be purged.

Add to the list - we have to stop many churches and ministries that enable and encourage illegal immigration too. Many churches get involved with the bigger “food bank” distribution that is partly tax payer funded.

It’s enabling the illegals and I don’t believe God wants us to enable people in illegal activity nor does he want us to enable anyone to continue to be needy which is what many of these food box at church programs are continual dependence on the church for food and the church “feels good” because they are “helping”.

>>Am I forgetting anything?<<

Prevent them from sending U.S. dollars back to Mexico and elsewhere via Western Union. The illegals don’t have bank accounts so they line up at Walmart to cash their work and welfare checks and send a portion of that money to relatives in Mexico or Central and South American countries. It leaves no bank records and no paper trail. Meanwhile, part of our economy is being exported to a foreign country and not spent here in the U.S.

According to a 2013 article in the Daily Mail, migrants working in the United States sent a staggering $120 billion back to their families in a single year.

Are you a troll? You can’t deport legal immigrants, the press, or any other legal resident just because they did not vote for you.

Immigrants vote at 85% for the communist Hillary all of them did except Cubans who are real Americans. They can stay. I'm not Cuban. but if a group votes for 85% for corrupt communist like Hillary there is a huge problem there. I would at first try to change immigration laws. I'm not saying Mr. Trump should do it. I'm saying what I would do.

We won Michigan by 0.3% or some ridiculously thin margin. next election immigrants will outnumber us and there is no hope of a non-democrat winning again so that's what you want you freaking communist Huh ? put your solution here instead of attacking me ok. guess you don't like to see the problem right you damn traitor, get out of my country you freaking communist.

All immigrant groups voted at 85% for the most corrupt, evil, hard core communist politician Hillary Clinton. Only one group was the exception and without them Florida would have been lost, Florida’s Cuban

Do you have the capacity to do simple math ? next election immigrants will outnumber us and vote in a communist . So you must be a communist or just an extremely dumb idiot. put your solution this hear instead of attacking me ok you communist?

Much like emergency rooms in SoCal. Illegals were seen first, and free. We cooled our heels watching, and waiting for out “turn”.

[1. Deport illegals in prison, which Trump said he would do.]

And when/if they returned, he mentioned the penalties for that.

And I believe that is testament to the character and ability of Trump. The two worked closely and forged a great loyalty.

Evinced by Trump calling him up on election night.

However, Trump is not stupid, and any body language expert or phsychologist will tell you who the dominant one is there.

Trump knows what he is doing.

“...until he was backed into the corner and had no choice but to support Trump.”

At least he did it, and didn’t go all Kasich. In his position, he could’ve made life a living hell for Trump which he didn’t do. It could’ve been so much worse.

Basically, he did the right thing for the wrong reason. If that helped Trump with a win, it works for me. (But now he should consider other career options.)

No he wasn’t invisible. That is absolutely not true.

Trump is right, Reince has been a solid superstar almost like Kellyanne.

Yes he did. He was 100% on the trump train from the moment Trump won the nomination. I too was impressed.
