I honestly don’t think Trump’s plan is “touchback amnesty.” If I did, I wouldn’t support him. His “great big beautiful door” always has the phrase “legally” attached, and if you look at the process, once you’re out, you can’t come back in if you broke any laws.

It's not so much about the "great big beautiful door" thing that he says, that I'm concerned about. It's the legalization amnesty without deportations for the non criminals that he talked about up until mid July. And he also said at that time that he would consider a citizenship amnesty, maybe later. After mid July 2015, it's the deporting them all and then "expediting the good ones back" thing that concerns me.

Well, guess what? That eliminates all who were here illegally.

A legalization amnesty would make them "legal". I'm pretty sure that Ryan and Mitch would be all in on that.

I think he knows this. I spent some time with Sen. Sessions two weeks ago. There is no doubt in his mind that Trump does not intend any “touchback amnesty.” Coming in “legally” reassures all those deported who have been fooled by the rhetoric that they are NOT here ILLEGALLY.

I hope you are right, but I don't think so. And Trump could actually clear this all up by clarifying what he means, but he doesn't.

“If he makes them go back while he also starts enforcing the border, they CAN’T come back, because they don’t have visas or green cards.”

What he said. 100% correct.
