Trump's DHS director accidentally reveals plan to redefine arrested illegals as 'criminals' (Tr.)
Daily Mail ^ | 11-22-2016 | DAVID MARTOSKO

One of President-elect Donald Trump's potential cabinet picks showed photographers more than he intended over the weekend, revealing part of an aggressive plan to change the Department of Homeland Security's approach to combating illegal immigration.

When the two posed for pictures beforehand, however, Kobach was clutching his proposal – and photographs captured the parts that his left hand didn't obscure.

They included uncompromising approaches to deportations, providing for the 'rapid build' of the wall that Candidate Trump promised for America's southern border – 1,989 miles of it – and part of a plan that appears targeted at making sure illegal immigrants can't vote in national elections.

They committed a crime in coming here illegally as squatters. Worse, they take welfare and public services that are meant for needy American citizens, which is stealing. Throw the book at them and penalize their former homelands who look at the USA as a dumping ground for their poor and criminals and a boost to their economy as illegals send money back home. We should require proof of citizenship to wire money to a foreign country.

"I am sure some thought he did not really mean what he said."

Or they thought that the relentless attacks of Democrats, RINOs, media and open-border big business would force him to back down.

They are learning that Trump cannot be bought, scared or embarrassed into backing down!

Do you really suppose this was leaked “accidentally?” I have a tower to sell you in Manhattan, cheap.

You may be right. But why would Trump use such an artifice? It just makes him look sloppy. What would be the point? When he is ready, he will openly reveal his finalized plans for immigration.

As far as that tower, I probably couldn't afford the real-estate taxes.

How is this sensitive information? It’s what the Trump campaign ran on and won on.

Yeah...and look at the smile on Trump and Kobach...that is a "cheesy grin" of the sort "I did it and you can suck on it"

Why hide plans that you’ve publicly stated you will be doing? Especially when the media states you won’t do it.

Notice the reporting for the past few days where they made it as if Trump is backpedaling on his promises and now it’s about how he’s keeping his promises?

These ‘leaks’ are intended to do that which the left said was impossible. In effect, they will self-report.

They intended it to be leaked of course! They know the slimey ways of the media- and used it - just like they use social media. I think it’s brilliant and hopefully will get some self deportation moving along

I’m interested to learn what Trump will do to the deported criminals who return to the US a week after they are deported. They like jail so that’s not a deterrent.

Ha....not this jail

Wearing pink underwear and working on building a big wall for a couple of years.

I am so surprised that something that is essential to having legitimate government in our representative republic, sounds "radical."

Y’know, I didn’t expect much from Trump.
I voted for him because I hated Hillary!.
I figured all that stuff he said was just his “negotiating position” to be bargained away.
But now it seems like a political Christmas every day...

You are, by definition, a criminal when you enter a country illegally and steals taxpayer money or someone’s job.

How does the Mexican government categorize someone who slips into their country illegally?

They will instantly be illegal the second after the pardon.

0 has no authority to pardon anyone not a citizen.

“Obama has thrown the borders open, and will issue a blanket pardon for all illegals, probably on Christmas Day...”

Obuma can pardon alien invaders Tuesday but if they are still here Wednesday, they are breaking the law. An ongoing crime cannot be pardoned. Nor can crimes committed in the future be pardoned.

That this was purposely leaked is so obvious...He has a folder behind those papers...If it was to be hidden, the papers would be in that folder...

What is actually funny about this is the utter stupidity of the “news” people having orgasms about finding this information and not realizing it was intentional...

I don’t necessarily think that was accidental.

Illegal immigrants by definition broke the law, which makes them criminals. This really shouldn’t be so difficult to grasp.

OK, not technical espionage. But not something a gentleman does. Call me old-fashioned.

It was intentional.

Trump plays 3-d chess; the press plays checkers...
