That statement makes no sense.

Sure it does! If all you tell someone going for a flu shot is "you're going to get stabbed," it's technically true, but leaves out so much pertinent information such as stabbed with what, where and how deeply, and to what end, that it constitutes a "lie by omission."

That is precisely the nature of your claim about Trump's immigration policy. You neglect to mention the only ones who get back in are for "cause," that those let back in can NEVER get full voting citizenship. Furthermore, you neglect to mention Trump is the only candidate who has voiced the willingness to exercise the presidential prerogative to stop immigration cold for members of enemy religious groups as well as enemy nations.

In short, your statement is not so much "information" as it is "smear."

My statement was purely comparative. I'm not sure how you consider that to be a smear. Trump referred to Romney's 2012 immigration position as "mean-spirited". And because of that, it is difficult to reconcile this mantra of Trump as someone who is going to be tougher on immigration than Mitt Romney.

You neglect to mention the only ones who get back in are for "cause," that those let back in can NEVER get full voting citizenship.

They don't have it now. No change there. Just a free ride home and an open invitation to be expedited back in, except now they will be legal instead of illegal.
