Fixed version:

When the big deal of your campaign is illegal immigration then re-imported illegal immigrants...

Trump says he’ll let them back in and give them “legal status.” Then citizenship? “We’ll see; later, down the line, who knows?”

He said we will let some in but only with legal status, not as citizens. Farm workers et cetera is who he was talking about primarily. Low skilled workers who work in the farm fields that most Americans don't want to fill these types of jobs. Not in that interview, but in speeches he has talked about lowering the numbers we grant opportunities to immigrate here. This is his landmark issue, as well it should be because it is the number one issue that is causing big fragmentations within our society. We are taking in too many and instead of them adapting, American citizens are having to adapt to accommodate the immigrants, and in the process pay for it.

Until we get this under control we will continue to spiral out of control.

The bottom line is I can cherry pick statements made by Ted Cruz to give the impression that he too supports amnesty, and when you try to defend using his past statements I can label those as lies. That he is now masking his real intentions on amnesty. The fact that we have allowed this problem to grow as big as it has is what makes the task very hard to tackle to say the least.

Perhaps I should ask what you think Trump's true motivations are for running for President. Is he solely seeking power to benefit himself personally? If so, how? Does he just want to stroke his ego by being able to have President on his resume? Do you think he is insincere that he wants to make America great again? I'm not asking you these specific questions just asking general questions to spark a topic or topics you may think is or are his real motivation(s).

The 14th Amendment was really authored to make black slaves and perhaps even indentured servants who were born here to be considered citizens. Unfortunately it was written by lawyers who in my humble opinion did a terrible job of wording it and created irreparable harm to our country by opening the Jus Soli argument to take hold, which was never intended to be the case by our Founders.

There are lots of topics to discuss but if we broaden the scope now it becomes impossible to focus, so I'll stop at this point.
