“When this was included in the 2007 Bush “immigration reform bill” (the touchback provision), we all rightly denounced it as amnesty.”

You’re right. It’s touch back redux.

They need to be sent home, period. Not brought back.

When did we all move to Bizarro World?

Same thing with Kelo. When SCOTUS handed that decision down, we were calling for their heads. There was even a move to condemn Souter's house and use his land to build the Lost Liberty Hotel. Today, Trump lines up to the left of Bernie Sanders on Kelo, yet we are to applaud Trump for being a staunch conservative? Bizarro indeed.

And my point is when are Democrats ever concerned about the Constitution or the rule of law?

Trumpism allows up to be down and left to be right, and you’re an elitist tool if you disagree.

Trump’s position is everyone that entered illegally must exist (deported if needed) and then we will see who gets back in LEGALLY! The answer is the existing law.

Trump says he wants to expedite them back legally, which would require quota-line-jumping legalization amnesty legislation.

Ryan and McConnell would have to get it passed and Trump would have to sign it into law. That would be a legal way of doing it.

Existing law does not allow for them to be expedited back when there are already quota lines that stretch out 5 to 10 years.

Legally means back of the line.

Trump has *always* said that they would ALL be deported, then they could get into line and come in legitimately.

I've never heard him say that they should get it line. Have a link?

I would get people out and then have an expedited way of getting them back into the country so they can be legal . . . A lot of these people are helping us . . . and sometimes it's jobs a citizen of the United States doesn't want to do. I want to move 'em out, and we're going to move 'em back in and let them be legal.

Donald Trump, July 2015

Well said, Marie. The GOPes here still think that more of what has gotten us into this mess in the first place is the answer to what got us into this mess in the first place. They have a political version of Stockholm syndrome. They are,quite literally and irreparably, stuck on stupid.

The establishment hacks here who think that the GOPe is interested in fixing the same problems that they themselves created haven't been paying attention to the GOPe betrayals after the 2010, 2012, and 2014 elections.

And the fact that the GOPe is resorting to the same tawdry Democrat tactics- misquotation, character assassination, and smearing- proves that these people are precisely the same kinds of people as the Democrats are. They are liberals.

And like all other liberals, the best thing we can do is dope-slap them in 2016 and get them away from the controls of this country.

They haven’t been...That’s the reason for my earlier post saying I can’t remember the last LEGAL election in this country...

What I have posted is based totally on LEGALITY....What the democrats do, I have no control over individually...

trump isn’t “moving to the center.” He’s on the left, and always has been. He’s just got a plurality of Republican voters snowed.

Trump says they all must go back. He says they all must be here legally. He says some can come back if they were positive while they were here.

So, they come back legally and not if they were involved in anything negative.

That’s the same as Cruz’s plan with all the visas. It must be legal.

I don’t actually like either Cruz or Trump’s plan. I want to freeze ALL immigration for 10 years.

Legally means back of the line.

I agree. I did not criticize Trump; just that he should clarify that point to address the criticism.

Cruz is my favorite and I am open to Trump clarifying his position that legally means going to the back of the line.

Trump's emotionally gratifying but wildly stupid "deportation force" implying mass search-and-detain tactics would result in bloodshed in America's cities.

And this violence would be stimulated and caused for absolutely NO REASON except to gratify an angry group of Americans. There are much, much better, simpler, more peaceful, and ten times more effective ways to deport permanently the SAME NUMBER of illegals. Ted Cruz has been outlining it for years.

While we still have time, and it is growing short: dump Trump, choose Cruz.

They wouldn’t be “expedited” if they had to go to the back of the line.

He’s saying “expedite” them back if they were “productive” and not a dangerous criminal.
