No, Trump has been quite clear, that he’s talking about specifically allowing “the good ones” to return on an “expedited” basis, newly legalized. That is precisely what touchback amnesty is.

And really there is no reason we should keep having illegals come pick our fruit. Jobs can indeed be made more appealing for Americans—we’ve taken away all incentives for farmers to make them so.

Actually Trump has not been specific at all about the legal means that would let some people now here illegally return. He has also not indicated they would be given preferential treatment over people already on the waiting list. It is certainly not “touchback amnesty”, a term that has an interesting history which is completely unrelated to anything Trump has said. I agree however that Trump should try and get more specific on his immigration proposals.

Trump is the one who got the discussion on immigration going in this contest. He is the one who has been willing to take the heat. On immigration and protecting our borders it is obvious that Trump is the one most likely to do something meaningful.
