On Monday, I pointed out that a majority of Republican voters were to Donald Trump's right on immigration: Fully 63 percent of them wanted a plan to deport all unauthorized immigrants. On Thursday, Trump pretty much closed the gap, proposing to deport all 11 million unauthorized immigrants currently in the US and then let some select few return.
From CNN (via Greg Sargent at the Washington Post):
Trump said Wednesday in an interview with CNN’s Dana Bash that as president he would deport all undocumented immigrants and then allow the "good ones" to reenter the country through an "expedited process" and live in the U.S. legally, though not as citizens.
"Legal status," Trump suggested. "We got to move ’em out, we’re going to move ’em back in if they’re really good people."…

$600 billion? That’s chump change for the federal money printers assuming deportations would be that expensive. Actually, the fed doesn’t even need to print it anymore. $600 billion is only $50 billion a month for a year. The Uniparty should have no problem borrowing that. They do it all the time for Obama phones, EBT, or any other vote buying handout.
I personally believe we don’t even need to deport them. All we need to do is remove the incentives that bring them here. We could even pay for their ride home and give them a small handout to get them reestablished in their home countries...after the border is secure of course.
The free ride and incentive cash could be paid to those who voluntarily leave, and we could even off them an amnesty. What? Yeah. For those who willingly turn themselves in, we could forgive their illegal entry and permit them to file for legal immigration (after they’re out of the USA of course).
Pres. Eisenhower did it in the early '50's. So, it can be done.
I think you’re onto something. All we have to do is provide incentives for them to leave. One would be to wipe their illegal entry (or visa overstay) off the books. Another would be to allow them to keep their assets. Perhaps we could even be generous and allow them 3-6 months to transition. That’s an amnesty I can support. Turn yourselves in and we won’t forcibly deport you, seize your assets, and banish you from ever returning.
Of course, all of this is a pipe dream with the likes of Boehner and McConnell leading the GOPe.
I notice your post has big spaces between the lines.
Reading what you slipped in those big spaces I see you’re saying “Damn, it just might work, but I’m no fool, I just won’t admit that to anyone”.
Ok i can live with this. Im back on board with Trump. But watching closely.
I wouldn't even change the name. If Mexican Americans can use, so can I.
That said, Eisenhower proved ENFORCEMENT and DEPORTATION works.
If combined with a wall and e-verify, we go a long ways toward solving the problem.
Oh, then IGNORE any/all Judges/Courts who issue orders for "Due Process".
And then get the job done before anyone knows what the Supreme Court says about it.
The Wall FIRST.
1. We have too darn many INVADERS in our country, of all types, and from all corners of the globe. That includes Russian criminals, for example.
2. Trump has a ‘hard core’ for ISIS.
3. Pull back all military units a defined distance, and carpet bomb any and all places of interest, in the same night.
4. remove said military units, and employ them to secure the nation of all these invaders, because i have a feeling some of them won’t go quietly. Leave two choices, since they are NOT citizens ... leave, or die.
Families of 8-9 often live together. Shouldn’t be too hard.
Not sure why anyone would have a problem with rounding up criminals.
If one wants credibility, Vox ain't the place to find it these days.
I have...and again, he doesn’t say anything, Spooner. I know it is hard to understand that, but truthfully, Trump is incoherent when discussing policies.
As if we haven’t had enough of the liberal media elites and manipulators calling average Joe conservatives that we are racists if we oppose their PC and if we oppose having our tribe trashed and neutered, so that minorities (for time being) and immigrant tribes can take what we once had.
Now we have some cuckold “conservative” elites telling us the same thing. The media elites have always had an ability to turn American patriots into villains, Christ into a pariah, and illegal immigrants into heroes, if it advanced their special agenda for their benefactors.
“I have...and again, he doesn’t say anything, Spooner. I know it is hard to understand that, but truthfully, Trump is incoherent when discussing policies.”
We need not only coherent politicians but also those who would put our effort into repairing and making the USA first, instead of making globalist deal makers rich.
How many Illegals had to be “rounded up” when Arizona’s SB1070 passed ?
Pretty much none. They started leaving before the law even went into effect.
More like 50 million. To locate just look on busy streets where traffic is blocked by illegal morons running out to ask for work. Look for houses with ten cars parked in front. Look for overstuffed garbage cans on the street with Mexican beer cans falling on the ground. Look for sewer cleaning trucks running snakes up sewer lines to unplug massive grease build ups. Go to DMV. Look for stores where 100 chickens are being barbequed at once out front. Go to any store that carries beer on sale. Go to 7-11. Drive into apt complexes where the smell of burritos and tacos fills the air. Go to stores that have Spanish signs out front. Look for guys or gals on bicycle carts selling ice cream or fruit. Go to any construction site. And pretty much go to any business where illegals are taking the jobs nobody wants.
When we see “conservative” pundits (and you know who they are) pushing for more political correctness and compassion for illegals who are stealing our IDs, culture, and taxes, while said pundits are chastising conservatives who oppose media elites who own the PC agenda, (and coincidentally said pundits), we need either to wake-up or find another country.
