Donald Trump unveiled his immigration policy paper on Sunday, pledging to “[put] the needs of working people first — not wealthy, globetrotting owners” and vowing to deport millions of undocumented immigrants.
Trump’s three principles of the plan include: “1. A nation without borders is not a nation. There must be a wall across the southern border. 2. A nation without laws is not a nation. Laws passed in accordance with our Constitutional system of government must be enforced. 3. A nation that does not serve its own citizens is not a nation. Any immigration plan must improve jobs, wages and security for all Americans.”
Until Mexico pays for the wall, the United States would, “among other things,” “impound all remittance payments derived from illegal wages; increase fees on all temporary visas issued to Mexican CEOs and diplomats (and if necessary cancel them); increase fees on all border crossing cards – of which we issue about 1 million to Mexican nationals each year (a major source of visa overstays); increase fees on all NAFTA worker visas from Mexico (another major source of overstays); and increase fees at ports of entry to the United States from Mexico [Tariffs and foreign aid cuts are also options],” the plan reads.
The plan calls for the number of Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to triple, along with nationwide e-verify, the “mandatory return of all criminal aliens,” “detention-not catch-and-release,” defunding sanctuary cities, enhancing penalties for staying past temporary visas, cooperating with local task forces taking on gangs and ending birthright citizenship.
“The influx of foreign workers holds down salaries, keeps unemployment high, and makes it difficult for poor and working class Americans – including immigrants themselves and their children – to earn a middle class wage.

Here comes the spin as predicted. Can always count on POLITICO.
When the meme was 'well we can't just put 11 (30) million people on buses & ship em back' was de rigueur no one would openly refute it.
Once the idea is on the table, though, people start asking 'why not?'
Opposite of Yeb, niice..!!
Illigal immigration; an at of HATE.
GO TRUMP..!!
This is what the citizens have been demanding for years. Both parties have done everything they can to thwart any efforts by the citizens to get enforcement, on the border and inside the country.
Yep—I’m ready to sign up.
Actually just did sign up—as a Trump campaign volunteer.
Essentially his plan is to enforce the laws the stupid government should have been doing in the first place. Simple and smart, I’ll give him that. Wish other GOP candidates would have more of a spine to say the same thing.
Mass illegal deportation.
I love this plan!
Mass illegal deportation.
I love this plan!

I only see the word “deport” once in his policy paper, and that’s regarding gang members. Does Politico believe there are “mass numbers” of those?
—needs an addition—any employer knowingly hiring an illegal should go to jail about the same time as his company is bankrupted by the fines incurred by the same offense-—
A NATION WITHOUT BORDERS IS NOT A NATION
A NATION WITHOUT LAWS IS NOT A NATION
A NATION THAT DOES NOT SERVE ITS OWN CITIZENS IS NOT A NATION
How can anyone disagree with that? It's wonderful!
How are you going to tell remittance payments derived from illegal wages from remittance payments derived from legal wages?
That’s worth repeating!
I didn't see anything in there about sanctions against businesses that hire illegals.
