Onn MSNBC the next day, Trump endorsed a “merit system” for the millions of undocumented immigrants already in the country—something that sounds a lot like a path to some sort of legal status, if not citizenship. “I have to tell you, some of these people have been here; they’ve done a good job; in some cases sadly they’ve been living under the shadows,” he said. “We have to do something. … Somebody’s been outstanding, we (ought to) try to work something out.” That puts Trump to the left of, say, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, whose campaign told TIME in May that he would not support a pathway to legal status or citizenship under any circumstances. And it puts him in line with other Republican candidates, such as former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who have endorsed some kind of legal status but not citizenship.

Scott Walker? I was told he was a severe conservative in all things and in every way!!
Trump is among the very most hardcore candidates on immigration, and he’s serious about building a wall at the border. He’s the only one who is, that I’m aware of.
Ted Cruz is good on immigration control as well.
I’m very good with Donald Trump’s stand on illegal immigration.
Donald Trump is a Liberal playing conservatives for fools. It is so obvious l, just as it was when Willard Romney did the same thing 4 years ago.
Milt might has well have winked at you when he told you his lies. At least Don Trump is trying to sound believable. LOL
Every maid at Trump hotels has been outstanding, I’m sure.
I heard him during an interview where he specifically eliminated citizenship as a potential
In your mind he is. But reality is a different story.
Under Federal law, every illegal is provided with an education in our schools through Grade 12.
So that child graduated, went to college and is working.
You're going to send him where??
I was pretty sure he said citizenship was out of the question, but some form of merit based stay visa.
None of them are “hardcore” on immigration, because they’d all legalize the bulk of the 30 million low-skill, taxpayer-dependent, Leftist-voting illegals here currently.
Cruz at least is better than most in not himself granting them citizenship, though I expect citizenship would be sure to follow.
Yes, a wall and a secure border would be nice. But the damage that our country’s electorate would never overcome would already be done.
Agreed. I like what I’m hearing which is understandable but we’ve all been fooled on FR before. Either I hear what he has to say which is entertaining or get my blood boiling whenever Walker and Amnesty Jeb talk.
A must read for every American. Ann Coulter explains how legal 3rd world immigrants and illegal immigrants are turning the USA into a 3rd world socialist hell hole

Ann wants to be Trump’s chief of Homeland Security. That would be the best.
Trump is all show.
BUMP
It’s like this pretender is playing good cop-bad cop with Jeb Bush and the MSM is in on it.
Almost scripted.
This story is just hitting the newswire:
” Donald Trump’s companies have sought visas to import at least 1,100 workers “
1100 workers since 2000, make of this what one may.
to the country they are citizens of
I never believed Mitt because of his long, very Liberal record. Other than that I thought he did a fairly convincing job of impersonating a Conservative.
Trump also has a Liberal record but IMHO is also a transparent BS artist. Maybe it is more obvious to me because I am from NY and have seen his act for decades.
the liberal media is the enemy of Americans and freedom.
This is a hit piece against Trump from the media. Ignore them do the opposite of what the media want.
