Mr. Trump, last July (2015), you said on CNN:
"I want to move them (illegal immigrants) out, and we're going to move them back in, and let them be legal, but they have to be in here legally. ...Otherwise, you don't have a country. You don't have a country, if people can just pour into the country illegally, you don't have a country, but I would expedite the system.
Are you proposing a process where former illegal immigrants can re-enter the US legally ahead of persons already in the legal process? Or do people who have been and are following the present legal process get preference, or does no one get preference?
Mr. Trump, in your immigration position paper you call for "Immigration moderation" to "allow record immigration levels to subside to more moderate historical averages."
To clarify, and given the employment situation in the US, do you believe current legal caps in immigration from other countries are too high, too low, or about right?
Mr. Trump, in your immigration position paper you state under the heading "Immigration moderation": "Before any new green cards are issued to foreign workers abroad, there will be a pause where employers will have to hire from the domestic pool of unemployed immigrant and native workers. This will help reverse women's plummeting workplace participation rate, grow wages, and allow record immigration levels to subside to more moderate historical averages."
Can you give us some sort of target numbers to define how much the US employment situation would have to improve, before this pause in immigration was rescinded?
“BTW, if I seemed a little harsh on you, I apologize.”
Not at all, no apology needed. :)
“It’s just very frustrating that so often, the right questions do not get asked of our candidates.”
Yes, it is. I don’t always think of the best questions to ask; however, I’m here hunting for info whenever I have free time.
“In all fairness, I DO have many questions for Mr. Trump. A very few of them are, concerning immigration”
Regarding your list of questions .. I’d be interested if you get any answers, directly or indirectly. Thanks for your post!
