That one's easy. Trump opposed doing just that in the 2012 cycle. Even going so far as to say Romney of all people was too TOUGH on illegals by wanting to enforce eVerify which would dry up the jobs illegals take and encouraging them to "self deport" or not come here in the first place.
Now you and Trump expect us to believe "the Donald" is tough on illegal immigration. Has he "evolved" yet again?
LOL, Trump isn't going to squat about illegals if he got elected. He's a deal maker by his own admission and, also by his own words, claims he can work with the other side.
Most likely Trump would only ramp up enforcement of deporting illegal felons and do nothing else. He couldn't even support Romney's only good position of using eVerify to tackle the problem - Trump said that Romney was too tough on the issue and it cost him the Latino vote.
Stop digging up old statements..that is a sign of desperation. Did I care Reagan was once a democrat union operative, when I voted for him?
I believe every intelligent human being, with emphasis on INTELLIGENT, is capable of evolving. Even I have evolved from a democrat volunteer distributing election materials in Chicago, in my 20’s, into a rabid capitalist.
Other candidates, besides Trunmp, are all under the command and control of their rich sugar daddy donors. You will not find the words “deport all illegals” anywhere on their web sites. Conservatives like Cruz TALK a great game, but then turn around and push Obamatrade, push increasing H1-B visa foreign workers FIVEFOLD, and DOUBLE legal immigrants. They are fake conservatives.
Trump had the courage to bring up Illegals issue and that is why he is polling in mid-30’s in latest polls in SC & NV. That is YUGE in a field of 15. None of other the so called conservatives can’t even break into double digits.
It feels great to see Americans are waking up, finally.
I am thrilled to see Americans are congruent with my own agenda. Like I said, in 2016, we must elect an America First president with courage to deport illegals. That is the most conservative issue in 2016. Social conservatism is very nice, but it is not the top issue in 2016. Preserving integrity of borders and increasing jobs is the top issue in 2016.
