Those people in the audience were Trump supporters - and 90% seemed to want to accommodate, at least on some level, the illegals already here. I was very surprised to see that.
There is so much that can be done to make our country a lot less appealing to gate crashers - and I think that would be the most effective way to handle the bulk of the problem. But Americans are largely somewhat sympathetic to these people already here. I am not. I want every last one dragged out of this country kicking and crying.
That being said ...
I won’t get my way though, and I am not going to blame that on Trump. Even if he were made Supreme Emperor he would not have that kind of power. HOWEVER, Trump is a problem solver, and he certainly knows of ways to get many to self-deport without turning this into another Elian Gonzalez fiasco.
After the open border policies of both parties for decades it will take a long while and a deft touch to get things going in the right direction. Trump wants to do that - NO ONE ELSE DOES. He wants to be a bit compassionate - I get that. But the man is no fool, nor is he a bleeding heart.
He is American first, and fully.
The next generation will pay the price. Americans cannot compete with the numbers we are looking at....very BIG mistake
