Donald Trump: Mean-Spirited GOP Won’t Win Elections
“The Democrats didn’t have a policy for dealing with illegal immigrants, but what they did have going for them is they weren’t mean-spirited about it,” Trump says. “They didn’t know what the policy was, but what they were is they were kind.”
Romney’s solution of “self deportation” for illegal aliens made no sense and suggested that Republicans do not care about Hispanics in general, Trump says.
“He had a crazy policy of self deportation which was maniacal,” Trump says. “It sounded as bad as it was, and he lost all of the Latino vote,” Trump notes. “He lost the Asian vote. He lost everybody who is inspired to come into this country.”
The GOP has to develop a comprehensive policy “to take care of this incredible problem that we have with respect to immigration, with respect to people wanting to be wonderful productive citizens of this country,” Trump says.
You understand he is talking about the marketing of the idea...in a humane way...he is very strong about illegal immigration. And, I trust he will resolve it, but you need to understand Trump is really a very compassionate good man. He will not pull people out of their homes in the middle of the night, but he will have them move...mostly on their own back to their home nation.
