Sunday on ABCs This Week, host George Stephanopoulos grilled Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on his plan to deport the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants.
Exchange as follows:
STEPHANOPOULOS: From the American action conservative group they say the federal government would have to spend roughly $400 billion to $600 billion to address the 11.2 million undocumented immigrants. Each immigrant would have to be apprehended, detained, legally processed and transported to his or her home country, in turn this would shrink the labor force by 11 million and reduce the real GDP by 1.6 trillion dollars. Are you willing to pay that price and where are you going to get the money?
TRUMP: First of all theyre wrong and Jeb Bush is a low energy person and wouldnt be able to do it. He says they come as an act of love. People coming and many of them you look at whats happening with the crime, many of them are really causing tremendous problems and they would be out really fast. Immediately.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Mr. Trump. theyre saying $406 billion and would require big government apparatus to take everybody down. If you dont think those numbers are right how much will it cost and where will you get the money.
TRUMP: Its costing us $130 billion a year and thats peanuts compared to what the real cost is, George. The way we have it now. You have so many illegals. We dont even know how many. I hear 11 million. I hear 30 million. The government has no idea. We have lost control of our country. Weve lost control of our borders. The government has no idea how many illegals are here. Ive been hearing 11 billion for five years then I heard 30. nobody has any idea.

Monsieur Step-in-it, we don’t give a damn what you heard or not heard.
Mexico will be happy to pay the costs to repatriate their citizens.
Ok, Steffy, please explain how “Hope and Change” was specific. Obama the Chameleon was whatever anybody wanted him to be because he didn’t put out any specifics. Those who dug under the surface grin knew he is a communist, but the MSM covered that up. Why don’t you follow the same approach here for consistency’s sake?
Trump has probably given more specifics than anyone so far. I’m all for specifics, but this was just more partisan selective targeting.
Stepohapoopolus doesn’t realize what Trump is saying because he hasn’t ever been in a private business setting. A good manager and leader has top level goals, and finds the best people with the know how to implement those goals.

Trump goes into these interviews completely unprepared and it shows. His speech at Mobile, AL was an unmitigated disaster. Time for Ted Cruz to move to the head of the pack.
Little Stephie is still on the Clinton, obuma Crime Families....he doesn’t know any better than to be stupid....
>>it doesn’t take any money to kick them all off welfare and fine those who hire/employ them $100,000 per illegal...
Yep. Fine the employers and give some jail time too, and do it like they do environmental fines: each day is a different offense. So, set a fine of $10,000 per illegal per day and 30 days in jail. Suddenly that illegal nanny who has worked for you for a year is actually a 2 million dollar fine and 20 years in jail.
They will either self-deport or the revenue from the fines can pay for the enforcement of the law.
I STILL HAVENT HEARD THE SPECIFICS
“Maybe you’re a little SHORT of hearing too, George...”
Trump did answer very specifically.....laws and borders....enforce the laws and secure the border...and hire good people to manage it and get the job done.
Steph. wasn’t listening....he was hammering.
Yeah, they never want to ask the Demo’s ‘specifics”
How “specific” was Obama on nationalized health care? How “specific” has Hellary on Benghazi and email server?
How many times has Steffie asked “how many millions of illegals do we ACTUALLY have here, and how many are entering each month”?
Just imagine the clean out of WH and Washington by Trump should he win Prez. He will fire every one that he doesn’t believe will do what’s best for America. JMO
Why make it so complicated Georgie? BTW, what does "legally processed" mean? Just round them up and herd them into cattle cars and deliver them to the Mexican border. Once they are across the border into Mexico, it ain't America's problem anymore.
Isn’t Stephy on the Clinton BOD, some honest impartial guy to be interviewing ANY ANY Republican.
They should have had a scroll saying this host may exhibit
partisan bias, viewer discretion is advised.
Why do our guys give the enemy a chance to hurt their chances?
Why didn’t Trump grill Stephanopoulos about the disgraceful fact that he still has a job?
