Legal immigration is allowed under all plans. To imply that Trump is going to ‘catch and release’ is pure liberal spin.

Getting them out, and then making them apply to return LEGALLY is not supporting amnesty. What a load of crap, and a typically disingenuous headline.

Blog pimping.

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.

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.

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.
