That is never what he said but even if he had, it beats the hell out of Cruz’s and Rubio’s plan of “close the border” then have a conversation with the American people what to do with those already here. Please don’t say Cruz didn’t say that because I’m tired and will have to look up links.
Anyway what that amounts to is their open-border donors and their inability to do what’s right.
Just look at Cruz’ answer in the last debate. He is for sealing the border and enforcing all immigration law including e-verify, cutting off welfare benefits, stopping sanctuary cities, etc. and deporting the way Reagan and Bush did 10 million each themselves.
Trump told O’Reilly in 2011 that he would deport any illegal alien criminals but sort out the good ones and let them stay. So if Cruz has changed anything in the past few years, which I don’t think he has, so has Trump. You never heard “deport them all” before for a reason, because Trump never said it before either. But he’s letting many/some/a lot back in legally afterwards, so it’s essentially Trump’s 2011 plan with the touchback element added in.
