Republican Presidential Candidate Donald Trump has released his specific plan for immigration reform.
In the 6-page report titled "Immigration Reform That Will Make America Great Again," Trump is calling for an end to birthright citizenship, saying it "remains the biggest magnet for illegal immigration."

Yeah. lol. Trump has picked the mother of all wedge issues.
He doesn't have McCain hanging around his neck.
Ted Cruz has a great plan.
Just a few pearls from the Trump plan:
I thought we didn’t have enough STEM graduates... looks like we just don’t have enough CHEAP STEM graduates:
We graduate two times more Americans with STEM degrees each year than find STEM jobs, yet as much as two-thirds of entry-level hiring for IT jobs is accomplished through the H-1B program. More than half of H-1B visas are issued for the program’s lowest allowable wage level, and more than eighty percent for its bottom two. Raising the prevailing wage paid to H-1Bs will force companies to give these coveted entry-level jobs to the existing domestic pool of unemployed native and immigrant workers in the U.S., instead of flying in cheaper workers from overseas.
I’ve seen this game of posting jobs and saying you can’t find a US candidate played too many times by companies of all sizes. It is generally a lie played to import cheap labor or some kind of exchange deal to train host nation people:
Too many visas, like the H-1B, have no such requirement. In the year 2015, with 92 million Americans outside the workforce and incomes collapsing, we need to companies to hire from the domestic pool of unemployed. Petitions for workers should be mailed to the unemployment office, not USCIS.
Everywhere I have ever been, 32 countries, you are expected to show financial means to support yourself for entry and grant of a visa. Nobody else takes care of aliens legal or otherwise. Once again, Trump proves we are STUPID:
Applicants for entry to the United States should be required to certify that they can pay for their own housing, healthcare and other needs before coming to the U.S.
About time we decleare another immigration moratorium. We did it from the 20s until the putz Kennedy revved it up again as a demonrat voter program:
Before any new green cards are issued to foreign workers abroad, there will be a pause where employers will have to hire from the domestic pool of unemployed immigrant and native workers. This will help reverse women’s plummeting workplace participation rate, grow wages, and allow record immigration levels to subside to more moderate historical averages.
Finally and probably most importantly of all:
End birthright citizenship. This remains the biggest magnet for illegal immigration. By a 2:1 margin, voters say it’s the wrong policy, including Harry Reid who said “no sane country” would give automatic citizenship to the children of illegal immigrants.
This abuse of the Fourteenth Amendment is probably the STUIPIDEST thing of all we are doing. It is beyond stupid, it is INSANE... nobody else in the world does what we do in this regard. I’ve worked in West Africa for a long time and I see it almost weekly that someone is planning to smuggle their pregnant wife to the U.S. to drop a kid so they can have dual citizenship. They plan it carefully including the timing to not visibly show, where they are going to go to have the baby, the doctor to deliver, an apartment to stay in or relatives to stay with. How does this make you feel?
Do what the putz in the white hut is doing now... ignore the courts and make them stop him. It is time for that. It is also time for legal voters to support this. It is probably the last time.
Oh yeah how about posting it here, I would like to see if he mentions deport anywhere.
Dear Pearls:
You are precisely correct... the Fourteenth has been DELIBERATELY misinterpreted for a long time by both sides of the aisle. It was written for and in a time when nobody could have expected what is happening now.
I posted this on this thread earlier:

It is a death fight and WE must win. Trump may be the leader that stirs the silent majority finally.
He can’t be ignored.
Really? When was this passed?
Immigration and Nationality Act
No Cruz? Charles and David Koch?
Cruz would be an excellent Senate Majority Leader.
They the big donors, the politicians , the media, the establishment etc. have been profiting at our (the American people's) expense for 115 years, pummeling us all these years.
Funny that on this site many bash Trump the only saying things like deport illegals etc.
End Birthright?! I want to marry The Donald.
These make for interesting reading.
Note particularly the statements on the 1952 veto by Truman and the response when the veto was over ridden. This is a LONG war.
Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952

The RATS reversed and perverted it in 1965.

The bash Trump because they are afraid he will drain their gravy bowl or are jealous of his success or think he is “just” doing this for his benefit.
I don’t care if he does benefit so long as all legal United States of America citizens benefit. The US has too long been for the benefit of anyone but the U.S.!!!
Agreed. It would better to support someone who doesn’t take a strong position on immigration, rather than support someone who does, but doesn’t present 100% of the details in the first position paper they publish on it.
The stupid....it hurts!
Yes, and I believe you will see a lot more of it to come.
Ain’t it the truth? Comprehensive Immigration Reform is BS speak for FO peasant.
