If that means they have to go to the back of the line, then I am fine with that. While Trump did not specifically mention them going to the back of the line, that could be his intention. If he clarifies that point; no problem for me.
Above all Immigration Policy is a matter of National Security. You think ISIS isn’t taking advantage of our lax immigration policies?
After 5 years as a permanent resident... you can become a U.S. Citizen.
So... how do you feel about 10 Million new democrats around 2024?
Thank you, AND he said we would LET THE GOOD ONES BACK IN. This is nothing new, don't know why people are shocked, he's been saying this for several months.
Of course they are.
What does that have to do with the price of tea in China?
Hmmm, I guess this is the “wall with a door” he has been talking about, right?
Meantime, there the H1B; corker bill, TTP and TPA...and big oil money....Goldman Sachs; CFR; C of C; and we haven't hear a thing....
If they return to the US legally, and go thru the process to become citizens, yes, they can vote. There are quotas in place, so it would not be a flood as it’s been for the past several decades. They have to have lived here for X years, to have been vaccinated so as not to bring unknown diseases back into the country, they have to take a citizenship test to exhibit an understanding of our country.
Becoming a citizen legally is not an easy thing, nor should it be. I wish some of our native born folks had to take a basic citizenship test like legal immigrants do. And I wish we’d do away with dual citizenship. Immigrants thru the middle of the last century had to renounce their native country citizenship; they should have to do that now.
That would be the reasonable thing (and the lawful thing to go after employers) but can you imagine the outcry if that was the plan by those who want them forcefully deported? Just enforce the laws that already exist. If they can't be hired and they can't get welfare, they will go home. Go BIG after the employers, when it costs more than they save by hiring illegals, they won't hire but don't see that ever happening. That will get rid of most anyway and the ones left we can forcefully deport.
Deport them in a big pipeline going out, and a controlled small pipe of them coming back for US employers who can’t find other workers.
Marc Thiessen is a Bush person
It’s better than 2016.
Trump is not a dummy. He knows if there is the promise that they can come back “legally” that the plan is more likely to appeal to Democrats and Independents, but it is a ruse. Once they are out they are OUT. Possession is 9/10 of the law. Once out, the Executive branch can put tremendous obstacles and delays in place to SLOW that process to a crawl...make them wait for 2 decades as legal applicants do, for example. And the American people will NEVER agree to let them come back in. Trump knows this very well.
To legally allow them to vote, the left would have to amend the 15th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.
How many times we going to discuss the same story? Some of you Cruz supporters seem so desperate. I can’t understand why.

No one cares!
Go Trump!

Per ENDIVA...This says it all, rwilson....
Yeah, and your point is...
Trump operates in his own self interest. Cheap labor helps his bottom line. And a surplus of labor drives down the cost of labor.
