Cruz is far tougher on illegal aliens than Trump, who supports “touchback” amnesty
RedState ^ | 01/11/2016 | Southernconstitutionalist

In the 2016 GOP primaries, Donald Trump has positioned himself as a hardliner on immigration. The general consensus is that no one is tougher on illegal aliens than Donald Trump. But is that actually the case?

While Trump would work diligently to deport all illegal immigrants-he has even proposed creating a “deportation force”-most would be surprised to learn that he would welcome the non-violent, “good” ones back in on an expedited basis. An expedited basis means line-cutting, and line-cutting means amnesty.

Trump's immigration plan is not much different than the one proposed by Mike Pence 10 years ago.

It's amnesty with a road trip.

Don’t be a sap. That big beautiful door is going to be a lot bigger going out than coming back in. LOL!

Poor Redstate. They really are getting desperate. Sorry they lost all credibility when they excluded Trump from their little pow-wow.

What’s “Redstate”? Sounds like some sort of commie organization.

The only one’s that are desperate are Trump supporters who can’t make arguments on issues.

They're obsessed. It's like the can't do a an article that's not pro-Cruz, anti-Trump. Very sad.

Trump won't use the door as an exit, he's got another tool in mind.

Yeah, the nerve of anyone actually pointing out that Trump is supporting touchback amnesty.

The touchback concept is an old idea, but it serves to have the illegals out of country while their case for reinstatement is being evaluated.

What I like about it, is the concept of judgement. Simply touch Mexican soil and come back is not the concept. What has to happen is the family must be evaluated as being in the interest of the USA in order to return to their USA residence with a legal residency card.

If Redstate does not get this, shame on them, they are usually smart enough to figure these things out without help.

Here's the list of popular rebuttals to criticisms of Trump by his supporters:

1. Attack the author.
2. Attack the poster.
3. declare that it is an old position: "Dude, that was like two months ago."
4. Feign agreement w/ Bush straw man: "That's it, you're right, I'm voting for Bush."

Once the illegals are kicked out, why would you ever let law breakers back in for any reason? Kick them out. Keep them out. Put a halt on legal immigration as well.

Me Too Ted couldn’t even say the word deport until he saw how it was hurting his poll numbers. Now all of a sudden he’s to the right of Trump on immigration.

Yeah, Right.

If you eliminate every media source with a dog in the race you better start reading the bumps on a bald man’s head your news.
