Donald Trump Is Not as Aggressive on Immigration As He Sounds
Time ^ | 7/27/2015 | Tessa Berenson

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.

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??

You have a very warped image of illegal aliens. A million of them, at least, are sitting in prison for murder, robbery, rape etc etc.

Many millions are sucking at the welfare teat or working illegal jobs.

Pillars of the community I'm sure.

Ted Cruz? Wants to expand green cards, larger quotas; candidates can not be perfect but being able to set forwards hypothetical situations in the senate isn’t bad work if you can get it.

Ann Coulter explains how legal 3rd world immigrants and illegal immigrants are turning the USA into a 3rd world socialist hell hole

Common sense can tell you that. Ann Coulter will be supporting the RINO's again soon enough, but common sense won't change.

I don’t know about that, I despise Trump, but I think he is making Jeb look weak, rather than reasonable.

I think Trump is in it strictly for his ego or to help his old pal Hillary.

The liberal media wants people to pay attention to Trump and ignore the conservative candidates.

So do the opposite.

That is also possible, but remember that Jeb stated early on that his strategy did not include winning majorities in the primary. This all fits.

So because I want a real Conservative like Ted Cruz instead of a Lefty poser like Donald Trump, I am a Socialist?

Trump called for Canadian style single payer socialized medicine, more radical than Obamacare. You OK with that?

Interesting, so the plan is to get us to support either a FLAMING Open Borders Republican (Jeb), a former Open Borders Republican that is now trying to hide it (like Rubio or Walker), or someone giving lip-service to deporting, but knows they’ll never do it (like Jindal, and Romney before that).

Harder for Trump to respond...not a bad strategy on their part.

Ann Coulter is one of the few saying this which has to be the first priority to stop the slide into the abyss. Who else is saying this which is the correct solution to fix America? who?

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

http://www.amazon.com/Adios-America-Ann-Coulter/dp/1621572676

Ann wants to be Trump’s chief of Homeland Security. That would be the best.

Oh but to you all she’s no good so ignore THE SOLUTION to our problems because she looked a RINO once. who cares what she did ? She’s right here and that book contains a lot of revelations that one one has put together before

Not as aggressive as I, Entropy12, would be, but more aggressive than all other candidates running in 2016.

Nine companies majority-owned by Trump have sought to bring in foreign waitresses, cooks, vineyard workers and other laborers on temporary work-visa programs administered by the Labor Department.

Brought in legally under temporary work-visa programs. This is another problem Trump has addressed by adovating welfare to work programs if he's president. For these types of jobs, our wonderful government has created the situation where many US citizens are better off on means tested poverty programs than working in lower paying jobs.

This needs to be addressed and Trump is the only one I've mention it recently, maybe since Newt Gingrich pushed welfare reform in the '90s.
