I don't understand how a businessman that admits to employing illegal aliens is supposedly the candidate to bring illegal immigration to an end.

Kindly post a citation demonstrating that Trump knowingly employs illegal aliens. He has stated over and over that he checks the backgrounds of his employees, and the only illegals I have heard about working for his projects are those who were hired by subcontractors.

Example: I live in an HOA community, and must pay dues every month for residents to behave generally appropriately and for maintenance. The Board hires a company that employs illegals to mow, mulch and snowblow. I imagine you believe I should pack up and move away, since my efforts at changing the Board's decision have not been successful; otherwise, Christ will reject me on Judgement Day?

The problem of illegals working in our economy is deeply entrenched, and for the past many years since Eisenhower, no administration has effectively moved to stop it. Even Reagan signed a big amnesty bill. Sincere efforts to stop it have been routinely thwarted by "right" lawyers and leftists. Holder and Oblameme have been egregiously thwarting any efforts to stem the tide. Now you want to point the finger at the one man who has dared to say, "It's harmful; let's stop it, and this is how we must go about it!"

Don’t come to me and say Trump is the one man to make illegal immigration an issue! It is an insult to the effort put forward by Tom Tancredo who was far more better on the issue than any candidate we have today but none of you would rally to his cause. For all his faults, are people seriously neglecting Pat Buchanan year after year raised the issue? You need to acknowledge that Donald Trump attacked Mitt Romney from the Left barking about how it hurts the Latino vote and told DREAMer activists he hires a lot of illegals in Miami. You talk about the problem of government not enforcing the law, agree but you give the second group of businessmen like Trump a pass for using the cheap labor and like other billionaires they want their illegal workforce so they can have cheap lawn care among other things. And you cannnot blame it on the subcontractor when you’re the one hiring them. I’m with you on illegal immigration but please don’t tell me Trump is the savior with his touchback amnesty scheme. Immigration has been a huge issue for me when Trump was still registered as a Democrat and although welcoming if some of his statements I am convinced he’s not my candidate on that issue or abortion, homosexual marriage, protecting the second amendment, repealing Obamacare, reforming entitlements, or many other issues. We will just have to disagree here.
