Trump's immigration plan: Mass deportation
Politico ^ | 8/17/15 | Nick Gass

Posted on 08/17/2015 5:48:57 AM PDT by jimbo123

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.

.Good one. I also ask them what their politician candidate has actually done as in passing conservative legislation or even stopping Obama. none of the politicians have done anything except advance the Obama agenda as in obama trade and the Iran deal. And the bots have no answer!

I haven't even see the soros anti-Trump bots today on the Trump threads as they usually are. the soros anti-Trump bots are depressed today because Trump came out with a anti-illegals plan that helps Americans and America

Others will be paying by charging an increase in visas. They have to come through Mexico.

I understand what you are saying. I didn’t mean they would implement his policy, but do something entirely different to appease the COC.

I think if it’s thru banks that would be easy.

If the lines at my local Hy-Vee are any indication it's through grocery stores, check cashing stores, places like that which have Western Union outlets. Short of having everyone wiring money provide proof of citizenship or legal residence every time they want to make a transaction then I don't know how you would accomplish it. And can the government force private businesses to play police officer for them?

I got you...a mad dash towards Amnesty before Trump can take office. Possible, but doubtful, as the Republicans have enough of a majority to actually be able to spare 25 votes and still prevent anything from passing - and ANYONE voting that way, now, is simply terminating his career, so not many will.

Ever see anyone in their 20s try to buy a bottle of booze?

GREAT IDEA!

Rand Paul said it can’t be done. I disagree.

True. It might be more involved for wire transfers but there is no reason why it couldn't be done.

So C&S Americans get Visas thru Mexico to get to America?

Words cannot explain the confusion I am in right now from the statement that you made.

Sorry

Some come through Mexico to get into the U.S. Others may fly in from their perspective countries. I lumped them altogether and shouldn’t have done that.
