They have to show they can support themselves and have records showing the taxes they were paying. That will exclude 97% or more of them.

Where/when did Trump say this?

I love how this nonsense gets repeated over and over. The truth is, so what? They get deported, they do it right, and come back legally. I see no problem with this. That is how it should work. Not one of the other candidates are going to do it better. In fact, most others will do it worse - legalizing them BEFORE securing the border. Trump’s immigration plan is just fine.

I really don’t think that poll means much. I’m a Cruz supporter and I’ve quit voting daily, but it’s not because I support Trump.

When you support an expedited process to bring illegals back, that is Touch Back amnesty.

There is no move to the center here. Touchback amnesty has always been a part of the plan. He wasn’t keeping it a secret or anything. It is one of his more consistent stances.

"Where does he 'specify' an 'expedited process'?"

He has mentioned an expedited process, not just for those allowed to return, but in general. No question there's plenty of room for improvement in the immigration process.

However, what doughboy Thiessen and other establishment hacks refuse to acknowledge is Trump has been crystal sparkling clear that immigration will be reduced to an as needed basis. NumberUSA has reviewed Trumps version of "touchback and found that it could take years for any to be allowed to return. Marc knows that sort of truth could cost him his recurring visits on Megyn Kellys nightly Trump Vivisection Hour.

Citizenship is irrelevant when it comes to jobs, crime, healthcare, and wages. Hell its pretty irrelevant in some liberal states and counties when it comes to voting too.

Regardless, having them here permanently and legally only sets them up to get automatic citizenship under a liberal congress or president.

His father has been crystal clear that he wants all the illegals to return and live in America.

As long as they get in line, no welfare and no citizenship.

No, it’s not. It means you’ll still have to qualify to come in...under EXISTING laws.

When you support bringing illegals out of the shadows and giving them TEDdy bears at the border with cuckoo Beck, that is amnesty.

Expedited does not mean 10 years. It means much quicker. Interestingly the only time he talks about expediting is for illegals, not those already in line.

As for the children of illegals, he’s said specifically he’ll do something different to help DREAMers.

But will they have to pass an intelligence test?

As a former Trump supporter I am flabbergasted as to why he would decide to lose this race.

He never didn't support amnesty.

True.

Until the end of July 2015 he supported deportations only for the criminals. Everybody else he was for a legalization amnesty without deportation based on merit.

Then at the end of July 2015, he switch to a touchback legalization amnesty where everybody would be deported, but the good ones would be expedited back for a legalization amnesty.

Beyond a legalization amnesty, his last stated position on a citizenship amnesty was that he would not be for it now but he would consider it later.

Yes, it’s been made crystal clear that Trump aims to restore the middle class and put Americans first.

You’ll notice the scumbag media is out in force against Trump now that SC is coming up. They are rehashing the same crap they tried before which means they are getting paid or instructed to do it.

Getting in line is absolutely not his plan. The line takes a long time. He repeatedly says he’ll expedite their return. SO either they’re coming back quicker than those waiting in line or he plans on bringing both former illegals and those waiting in line in quicker than already possible. Neither is a preferable option to me

Who qualifies for an illegal alien touchback amnesty? How will ICE verify the ‘undocumented’ as having been in the country illegally? Do visa overstayers qualify? Do people who come here on tourist visas, work ‘under the table’ or with fake IDs and go home every 6 months in accordance with their visa duration qualify?

‘No person is illegal’ will soon morph into ‘Everybody is illegal.’

The problem is, they aren’t getting in line. Trump says they will come back using an “expedited” process. They should not ever be allowed back if we have to deport them.

Roger that. If SC ends up anywhere near what the latest polls are, they know it’s game over.

Marc Thiessen, one of MeGYN Kelly’s lapdogs.

Between Thiessen, Glenn Beck and Chris Stirewalt saying anything to get on MeGYN’s show, all credibility has been lost. In my opinion.
