Please tell me where Trump ever advocated that if they go home they to come back as citizens.

Allow me to re-quote the senator, from the article posted: "Basically you make them fly back to their country for a minute, touch the ground, and then they come back with amnesty as citizens." Again, that's Ted's quote.

So, the question again is, where and when did Trump advocate deportees coming back 'with citizenship'? He has publicly advocated a return policy for those with no other criminal offenses. I'm not thrilled about that piece of his plan either.

Please take note, this is a narrow question, and I'm expecting references and quotes. If Ted is being honest about Trump's position, specifically about the citizenship part, it should be an easy find. Or did Ted just embellish a little? Or did he slip and throw in the citizenship part and not really mean it?

And, a quick link to Trump's formal published position, in case you want to check.

You don’t listen — that’s not the issue, and it wasn’t what touchback claimed either.

True, but, legally, one must go through quite a process, there are caps on the numbers of legal immigrants from many countries, and, most important, Trump's paper clearly very heavily reduces the incentives to come in. It's sort of like an employer saying to a hord of job applicants "Sure, you're welcome to apply, and here's the 40 page form", but unsaid is the fact that there are only 2 positions open, and with very demanding / specific requirements.

Back in 2008-2009, I got that as a job applicant a LOT. :-(
