I wanted to know Trump's position on illegal immigration so I looked it up.

Seems he's ahead of the GOP elite on this issue as well.

He's certainly willing to take on the tough one's.

While he has my respect and gratitude, he hasn't convinced me to vote for him yet.

And when he was on with BOR last week he said we should pick and choose which illegals get to continue breaking the law. He’s also said we should let business make that determination.

That's because he has nothing to lose.

He will NEVER be POTUS.

While he may be getting his patriot wings back in order, I could in no way support his candidacy, especially as he calls himself a Republican. My opinion is he is nothing more than another Bloomberg. But if his new found patriotic bent is to show a bit of testecular fortitude, have at it. Nobody else in the Republican leadership seems to have the DNA for it.

I must however make a few exceptions, especially in that of Allen West, Paul Ryan, Jim DeMint, et al.

.... “he stopped short of endorsing racial profiling ...”

Is Mexican a race or a nationality? Or is calling Mexican a “race” a gimmick to help sustain the notion that there is not and must not be an international border between present-day Mexico and its former northern provinces?

Trump’s own audio clips from Mark Levin show.

Devastating in my opinion, and I’m sad to say they were a real eye-opener to me. Decide for yourself. This is really, really not good.

http://legalinsurrection.blogspot.com/2011/04/sound-trumpet.html

Highlights:

In his own book, “America We Deserve”, Trump writes, “We must have universal healthcare. I’m a conservative on most issues but a liberal on this one. We should not hear so many stories of families ruined by healthcare expenses.”

Kiss your freedom goodbye.

He gave no support whatsoever to the Tea Party and attended not a single rally, but donated to their opponents: Schumer, Weiner, Harry Reid, etc.

Donald Trump says he adores Nancy Pelosi and can’t understand why she didn’t do more to impeach the “evil” (his word) George Bush for “lying” to get us into Iraq.

Donald Trump says he can’t understand why John Kerry didn’t win in 2004, since Bush was so “wrong” on the war.

Trump said that George Bush was the worst president ever, although now he has changed his story to say Obama and Carter were the worst.

Don’t be fooled by this guy.

Trump is into self promotion. Nothing wrong with that and he’s about the best at it.

Thing is, that is his depth.

He ain’t running and doesn’t have a core.

I don’t have a problem with his “Bush is a Disaster...”, Clinton is a Disaster....”, “Bush is a Disaster...”, “MuBarak Obama is a Disaster and may be a Kenyan...(sic)”.

Frankly, I haven’t cared for one president in my lifetime except for Reagan.

Trump told O’Reilly last week, that he supports broad based amnesty. Trump wants to pick and choose who comes into America and who stays here, based on some convoluted set of standards he pulls out of his butt. Explanation? None.

Trump is not to be trusted. EVER!

Being from Pima county, Arizona and living in the highest illegal immigration through-way in the USA, it is a breath of fresh air hearing this. I don’t know if I can vote for him, but perhaps this view will be taken by the rest of the GOP who are planing on running. After 20 years of open boarder policy we must clamp down on this madness. I am disgusted at our homeland security chief, she is blatantly lying to the American public on this issue. Even the center leaning liberals that I know here in Tucson grudgingly agree that this is a problem and that something needs to be done. I work in the largest trauma center in southern Arizona and we are constantly taking care of illegals. Most often they are either close to death from the desert crossing or in vehicular accidents often involving 10-15 people crammed into a single vehicle.

I also like his stance on the foreign trade issues that our country has been living with for decades. Our country is certainly being taken advantage of in this respect. Our country was build on good old American hard work. I would love to see “made in the USA” a common place rather than the current rarity.

Please let's give Trump a chance to be president.

He couldn't be any worse than Obama.

Remember to always EXPECT the UNEXPECTED and Trump ends up being another Reagan..

You know, Utah passed an “Arizona-style immigration law” too, and any number of Republican politicians used the issue to get themselves elected, and then when the time came to pass the promised “Arizona-style immigration laws,” the GOP strangely shot them down in at least half a dozen states.

Trump DOES want AMNESTY for “some”...

Quote: O’REILLY: OK. Now, the 15 million illegal aliens already in the United States. What do you do with them?

TRUMP: I think right now you’re going to have to do something and, you know, it’s hard to generalize. But you’re going to have to look at the individual people. See how they’ve done. See how productive they have been. See what their references are and then make a decision.

O’REILLY: And then make a decision. All right, on case by case. It’s going to take a long time and a lot of people.”

Quotes taken from article @: http://www.foxnews.com/on-air/oreilly/transcript/donald-trump-sits-down-bill-oreilly?page=2

IMO, that opinion total BS. I have seen headlines on the net that say that Trump is not for amnesty but what he said on FoxNews says otherwise (even though he was careful enough not to use the actual word AMNESTY but if it walks like a duck...).

If you are an illegal alien you should be deported PERIOD end of story, no ifs, ands or buts. By the simple fact that they are here illegally is PROOF that they are UNTRUSTWORTHY CRIMINALS.

1) Because being here illegally is being here illegally regardless of the “reason”.

2) Giving amnesty for ANY is a slap in the face to ALL USA citizens, BORN & PROPERLY NATURALIZED & ALSO to ALL those foreigners that DO come here PROPERLY to visit, work or to emigrate.

IMO, ANYBODY that is for AMNESTY for ANY illegal alien is a TRAITOR to the USA & hence they themselves are UNTRUSTWORTHY, period end of story & that includes Trump. And YES BTW, I DO ESPECIALLY include in that category Ronald Reagan b/c of the 1986 amnesty that was AND IS a HUGE contributor to the massive problem we have now in the amount of illegals from many countries INCLUDING Canada & Ireland etc BTW. I say DEPORT ANY & ALL that we can catch & ARM ALL border protection not just the southern border.
