Not a very good defense. Trump is not saying he will make legal immigration easier. Or the reason that we have so many illegal aliens is because legal immigration is so difficult.

Trump wants to drastically reduce legal immigration and guest worker programs. Trump wants to return to historical norms of legal immigration (195,000 a year from 1921-1965) from the current 1.1 million a year. Legal immigration will become harder, not easier.

Legal immigration should be harder.

This is ridiculous.

I immigrated from France and it took me 14 years to become a citizen. I never thought it was unreasonable. I never thought the US owed it to me to become a citizen.

Why is it that illegal immigrants who violate all kinds of laws think they should be treated as an entitlement class?

This is madness.

I did a pretty extensive remodel on my house and hired a Mexican stone mason to do a lot of work for me for close to a year. At the end of the year he had to go back to Mexico to renew his visa and then he would come back up for another year. He was perfectly legal and had the right to be here.

I believe that is what Trump is talking about. Go back to where you came from, get your visa then get in line and apply for whatever documents you need to.

What is so unreasonable about that? The Mexican mason who worked for me did it every year and never had a problem coming back. The rules are already in place. People are so ignorant they do not know we already have a process in place. We are just not enforcing it.
