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.

He’s going to build a wall. Has she seen trump tower? He broadcasts from there when he does interviews.

It will be a huge aesthetic monstrosity with gold lettering, guard towers, smattered on the north side with restaurants and shopping for tourists that the chamber of commerce members will rue they will not be allowed to invest in

Reading these headlines I sense an attitude of denial so pervasive they sit around as a group and delude themselves

Conservatives read their crap and watch their silly reporting

They don’t peruse conservative media - not that trump is a conservative but conservative media are the only ones reporting on him.

Liberal media slack of information and facts will cause them to lose in this latest political shift

It’s the U.S. government’s job to stop foreign invasions of the United States. WHY THE HELL AREN’T THEY DOING THE JOB WE’RE PAYING THEM BIG BUCKS TO DO? ARE WE GOING TO HAVE TO HIRE A BUNCH OF ILLEGAL ALIENS TO DO IT FOR THEM?

But she will flip before the election, she always does. There are the “fair weather” conservatives who can explain is awesome detail what is wrong with leftists and then just before an election, start bashing conservatives for whatever reason.

wonder how much Chinese steel is in all those hotels and towers.....

So what? Trump didn't create the deindustrialization of American and the movement of manufacturing to cheap labor nations. A long list of US presidents and members of Congress did that.

Trump is the only discussing the problem and planning to begin reversing it.

Two of his companies, Trump Model Management and Trump Management Group LLC, have sought visas for nearly 250 foreign fashion models, the records show.

Chinese steel...great example of all the stupid foreign trade deals made by professional politicians! Trump is very smart to take advantage of all these stupid foreign trade pacts. Only Trump knows first hand about foreign trade because he actually has done business himself with foreign countries. Name another candidate running in 2016 who has such experience? May be Fiorina has a little bit. All others have zero personal experience.

Slime magazine?

They tried to PC assassinate Trump, didn't work, more popular than ever.

They tried to character assassinate Trump, didn't work, more popular than ever.

They tried to intimidate Trump, didn't work, more popular than ever.

Now they try to convince Joe Average that Trump is really a secret RINO, likes illegals and will stab ya in the back when elected so ya might just as well vote for the real RINO.

Trump will probably rise to 35% on this crap.

I think most of this is self inflicted wounds by unions, taxes, regulations, etc. Cost a SHIT load of money to send steel across the world....so that we can’t compete in some arenas...hell, America did that to itself, to all of us, with liberalism.

After the Bush-43 disasters of financial meltdown and most wasteful Iraq war adventure, I would also hope the next president, whoever it is, would do better.

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

As a “former” canadian, obamacare and canadian unhealth care is basically the same. There is one difference: in canadastan, you can make an excuse that you do not have the money and they;ll waive it. Here, you have no choice once you’re signed and your records belong to the govt, and you become more of hindrance because they transfer you to welfare medicine..

People need to read her book to understand how illegal and legal immigration are destroying America. I don’t care what she is or what she did in the past . I’m talking about ideas, and solutions. that book is awesome beyond belief and if a lot of people read it , then we would fix America

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

Amnesty - ANYTHING that bestows benefit upon those who illegally enter the US.

A ‘pathway to citizenship’, ‘dreamer’ status, ‘legal work status’, etc are all benefits.

We must STOP GIVING PRIZES for invading!

Anything less is just incentivizing MORE MILLIONS to enter illegally. Surely, if we learned ANYTHING from Simpson-Mazzoli we learned THAT.

This is simply good citizenship and civic duty.

He is making every city where he has a hotel, more beautiful.

Means nothing. Fashions models are like professional athletes and musicians who have for years obtained visas to work in various countries.
