Trump conveniently didn’t put what he has been saying since last summer—about “expediting” illegals’ return as legals once they go home to visit their families—into his stated position paper.
The reality is that it will be very difficult for any of them to come back legally given the fact that they have committed multiple crimes beyond just entering illegally. As someone who has actually issued visas, the vast majority of them couldn't even get a tourist visa let alone a permanent immigrant visa.
Trump has taken lots of heat for his position that all of them must go. Like a politician, which he is not, he tried to soften the blow by saying it will be done humanely and that the good ones will be allowed to come legally. I am sure Trump does not know immigration law and our visa policies. None of the candidates really do.
It is just hyperbole and misinformation to say that Trump favors amnesty. He does not and I am sure will reiterate that tonight in the debate. I can guarantee that he will not retreat from his position that all the illegal aliens must go.
