Trump's supporters loved his promise this week to create a "deportation force" to remove all 11 million illegal immigrants living in America, and his repeated declaration that everyone here illegally will "have to go."
But his supporters tend to overlook is his other promise -- repeated in a recent debate -- that under his immigration plan "they will come back."
That's right. Under Trump's immigration plan almost all of 11 million illegal aliens (save for a small minority with criminal records) will get to return and get permanent legal status to stay here in America.
Trump supports amnesty.
On the Kelly File Thursday, Trump's son Eric expressed frustration that the media overlooks this:
"The point isn't just deporting them, it's deporting them and letting them back in legally. He's been so clear about that and I know the liberal media wants to misconstrue it, but its deporting them and letting them back legally."
Eric Trump is right. His father has been crystal clear that he wants all the illegals to return and live in America.

1) Break the law by doing _________.
2) Leave the country.
3) Return to the country through proper means
Shoplifting => go to jail
Drive 110 mph in a 55 mph zone => go to jail
Mail fraud => go to jail
Illegal border crossing or overstay visa => clean slate
Sounds like amnesty to me.
Me too and I do not support Trump
Now that pic is funny!
It is indeed difficult to the excited TDS sufferer to focus long enough to think clearly about their enemy.
No, you’re dead wrong. The point is, to get them back in “legally”, he wants to establish an “expedited process” (his words, not mine), to get the “good ones” (The ones who, in Jeb’s words, came here out of love?) back into the country, thus circumventing the established legal process for immigration, which is de facto amnesty whether you like it or not.
As I recall, the words were “Great, Big, Beautiful Door”.
Just your average potted kitty! ;-)
To imply that Trump is going to ‘catch and release’ is merely the truth.

Listen closely to what Trump is actually proposing. In an interview with CNN’s Dana Bash earlier this year, Trump explained his plan this way:
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.
This is a policy called “touchback†and it was first proposed in 2007 by moderate Republican Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (TX). She offered a “touchback†amendment on the Senate floor that would have required illegal immigrants to return to their home countries to apply for a special “Z visa†that would allow them to reenter the United States in an expedited fashion and work here indefinitely.
Her amendment lost by a relatively close margin, 53-45. It was supported by most Republicans and even got five Democratic votes — Sens. Claire McCaskill, Max Baucus, Jon Tester, Byron Dorgan and John Rockefeller all voted for it.
The idea was considered so reasonable that in an April 22, 2007 editorial entitled “Progress on Immigration,†the New York Times declared:
It’s not ideal, but if a touchback provision is manageable and reassures people that illegal immigrants are indeed going to the back of the line, then it will be defensible.
So what Trump is proposing today — sending illegal immigrants back to their home countries and then allowing the “good ones†to return in an “expedited†fashion — was endorsed by the liberal New York Times!
In fact, the idea even got the support of — wait for it — illegal immigrants.

When people are angry, they select an angry person to yell for them and cause destruction and that is exactly what Trump is - destruction.
Ping to my post #78.
And if I actually took the time from my day to prove it to you, would it really make a difference?
The answer is no. So I’m not wasting my time with you.
Honestly, I really have more to do than research for YOU. If you want to understand Trump, YOU can sit though 12 hours of his speeches. YOU can look up every quote - in context.
As I have. That’s why I support Trump.
Stop asking people to do your homework for you.
Grow up.

I never asked you to do my homework. I have been doing my homework for months, looking at a bunch of Trump statements and I have never heard Trump say that the deported illegals should get to the back of the line.
So instead of telling you Trump never said it, I give you the polite benefit of the doubt and I ask you to document your claim.
To which you reply defensively and rudely like a person backed into the corner.
My original point stands.
