Sunday on WABC New York’s “The Rita Cosby Show,” Republican presidential candidate former Gov. George Pataki (R-NY) said Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump’s immigration plan of deporting the over 11 million illegal immigrants currently living in the Untied States and then letting the good people back in the country after being screened, and ending birthright citizenship is “un-American, outrageous and Demagogic.”
Pataki said, “I’ll tell you, this is crazy. First we have to secure the border, and know that people come here illegally. But think about the idea. Whether or not it’s Constitutional… Requires a Constitutional Amendment, or, as Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) 80% said, getting something through Congress. We’re going to send 11 million people back to wherever they came from? It’s just senseless. And by the way, you know, you have a child, 7, 8, 9, 10 years old, born in America, speaks fluent English, never been to Mexico, or wherever his or her parents may have came from, we’re going to send police, or troopers, or soldiers into a classroom? Drag that nine-year-old out of the fourth grade and ship them back to a country they’ve never been? I mean, this, this is not America. It makes no sense. It’s Trump being a demagogue. Yes, Immigration and controlling our borders is an important issue. But to tear America apart, by doing something like this, at a time when we have to focus on growing our economy, and protecting our national security, is just senseless.”
He continued, “Well, he says he’s going to do it! And it’s outrageous and demagogic and I think completely un-American. But it’s not just Trump. I’m disappointed that so many of the other Republicans seeking the nomination won’t stand up to him. Scott Walker basically agrees with him.

Stupid idiot.
With RINOs like that, who needs Democrats?
He is actively supporting people to come here to disintegrate America.
It is really sad how out of touch the GOP leadership is with the productive citizens of the nation.
The Rita Cosby Show.
That’s just funny.
yes, and who is sitting at the bottom of the polls and who is at the top?
He’s angrily pro-illegal immigration.
Wow. Just wow.
They used to say well, we’re against illegal immigration, just not immigration itself.
Now we see that’s a lie too.
Think about it. This is a “Republican” who is Pro-Crime.
Hard to listen to.
I refuse to listen to any politician who insists on using the 11 million number.
And legality is hardly an issue after the way Obama has ignored, and indeed contravened, our existing immigration laws; or the way sanctuary cities flout what’s on the books.
What’s un-American about controlling your borders? What country doesn’t?
I agree with you on the 11 million number. We were told 11 million back in 2002.
My own informal guess is 30 million plus or more.
But it’s a joy to see how many of these “candidates” are coming out of the woodwork and going belly up. Trump is the RAID of the RINOs.
Enforcing the law in Un-American?
Welcome to the Age of Obama.
This glassy-eyed wimp must be running to get cash to pay his bills. He can’t seriously think that anyone would vote for him to lead the nation. There ought to be a rule. If your state hasn’t voted for the Republican ticket a least two of the past four elections, you can’t run for president. Why would we ever want a candidate from the Communist states?
A NY republican. Would you vote for him? Obviously he was the best of the worse who were running to get elected
He is definitely a moron on immigration and most other things but did save thousands of lives in NY State in the 90’s by signing the Death Penalty into law after Mario Coumo vetoed it for 12 years in a row.
Of course, NY still actually ever executed anybody, but just the threat halved the murder rate within three years.
The days of “not leaving any witnesses around “ after a crackhead stole somebody’s purse were over.
He needs to sit down and shut up
Pataki works for The Cheap Labor Express, as do most of the candidates.
The Cheap Labor express has spent billions on propaganda to convince us to give up our country without a fight. The rest has been spent preventing the citizens from stopping them from flooding the country with fraudulently documented foreigners.
They are not out of touch, they are being paid to betray us.
Trump is a demagogue for telling conservatives what they want to hear butBoehner and McConnel are not?
Why should we be expected to have laws which no other nation on earth has?
The “anchor baby” concept was a horrible idea and needs to go.
It’s become a way of life for the republicans.. they can’t think outside the box any more. and I can’t think inside their box at all.. never have and never will.
The problem with the last 2 elections, .. the GOP didn’t get the message at all.. they are dead to change... so someone had to come along with a sterner message.. and I don’t think they yet get what is happening.
It’s downright stunning to see how deep in dumb they are.
Even if another hadn't come in since then, they have spawned at least 5 times as many.
