Under Trump's immigration plan almost all of 11 million illegal aliens (save for a small minority with criminal records) will get to return and get permanent legal status to stay here in America.
Trump supports amnesty. On the Kelly File Thursday, Trump's son Eric expressed frustration that the media overlooks this:
The point isn't just deporting them, it's deporting them and letting them back in legally. He's been so clear about that and I know the liberal media wants to misconstrue it, but its deporting them and letting them back legally.
Eric Trump is right. His father has been crystal clear that he wants all the illegals to return and live in America.
Listen closely to what Trump is actually proposing. In an interview with CNN's Dana Bash earlier this year, Trump explained his plan this way:
I would get people out and then have an expedited way of getting them back into the country so they can be legal.... A lot of these people are helping us ... and sometimes it's jobs a citizen of the United States doesn't want to do. I want to move 'em out, and we're going to move 'em back in and let them be legal.
-snip-
The idea was considered so reasonable that in an April 22, 2007 editorial entitled "Progress on Immigration," the New York Times declared:
It's not ideal, but if a touchback provision is manageable and reassures people that illegal immigrants are indeed going to the back of the line, then it will be defensible.
So what Trump is proposing today - sending illegal immigrants back to their home countries and then allowing the "good ones" to return in an "expedited" fashion - was endorsed by the liberal New York Times!

He always has and continues to.
I don’t have a problem with reasonable legal immigration. What we lack is control of immigration. We need to get that control back.
Just another case of a poster continuing the Donald Trump smear campaign.
Yeah you’re using a Bush person to attack Trump.....
That is precisely what Trump is proposing. Under his plan, illegal aliens don’t have to go to the end of the line behind those who have complied with our immigration laws. They get an “expedited way of getting them back into the country so they can be legal.” They get to cut the line and then stay in America.
So if you get past Trump’s bluster, the plan he is proposing is so liberal that it earned the support of the New York Times and the opposition of National Review.
But does this bother you?
Trump supports a wall, he says he knows how to build a big beautiful one.
After that, we can talk about how to proceed going forward.
His most resonant issue is the security of borders (esp. southern one), and that is why he is soaring. I believe him.
Now when I hear people gainsay Trump, I usually ask the person to give the name of a better candidate.
No one who broke our laws and entered illegally should be able to apply to re-inter ever. They are proven law breakers. What is he going to do with the criminal ones, extend the same courtesy...And is it from the back of the line AFTER a 10 year penalty wait?
except .. Trump says only the “good ones” will be allowed back in. Perhaps Trump will issue an EO in Trump-speak that instructs bureaucrats to stop acting like morons, do not do anything stupid and and only let “good ones” back in. :-)
??????????????????
Ok then, all you have to do then is convince the American people that the candidate of your choice is tougher on illegal immigration than Trump is. Peace of cake.
What “smear campaign”? Exposing his RECORD?
OMG. Thanks Marc! I can’t believe how Donald Trump tried to dupe me. Damn it! My vote is going to Bush.
AAAhhhhh! some “writer” sitting at his desktop in the basement in his underware and stained white undershirt is going to raise a clarion call to all America.
GFY Marc a.k.a. “vicky4U” on gaydater.com
If Trump doesn’t send ICE out to round-up and deport illegals by the thousands, HE IS TOAST.
BS
You and the author are deceitful liars. That is never good for any cause.
Trump supports an amnesty plan called touchback, proposed in the Jorge Boosh immigration bill of 2007, which we all rightly opposed.
As National Review pointed out, it’s not only amnesty but amnesty laundering.

Agreed
BTW: who doesn’t support some sort of amnesty?
