No. Kicking the ones out who were born here was never part of the discussion. These are the ones who were brought here when they were young and brought up in the US.
I don't see how this would be anything but a betrayal unless DJT got EVERYTHING else about his anti-invasion agenda into law.
Can we assume this is fake news or taken out of context?
I don’t think it’s fake news or taken out of context. Or even a “betrayal”.
Trump make it quite clear, at least in the last weeks of the campaign, that his immigration policy was only aimed at deporting the low-life criminal element, as a sub-population of the WHOLE illegal immigrant population. In other words he was never referring to ALL illegal immigrants, just the “murderers, drug dealers, gang members” AMONG ALL illegals when he talked about deportation.
And while he made that quite clear during the last weeks and months, I’d even argue he was clear about that from the beginning, from his VERY FIRST SPEECH when he descended that escalator and announced his candidacy. That very first one he was targeting “drug dealers, murderers and gang members” as a PART of the WHOLE group of illegal immigrants.
I heard him and understood that right away. I understood right away he never had any intention of deporting all illegals, “just the criminals” (as if an illegal immigrant isn’t already a criminal by definition). I understood all that and tried to say so here on FR. But we all know how well criticism of The Donald was received here!
No matter. I’m still happy he defeated the Witch and if he does indeed deport all the “criminal illegal aliens” (but I repeat myself right?) I’ll be happy and consider that a campaign promise kept. If anyone disagrees, if anyone considers this a campaign promise broken, well I guess they weren’t paying attention during the primary.
