Trump is STRONGLY for bringing back American jobs.
Very much so.
Maybe I misinterpret your post, but just making that point.
I believe Trump is the toughest on international trade. Completely so.
He waivers only on the question of illegals already in the US. I believe he supports keeping those who have jobs, right here, working. They would apply for immigration right along with everyone else. But the others, who don’t work, out.
Other than that, he’s all for America.
Very refreshing.
That will only get him so far, but as of now it gets him ahead of every other candidate because Cruz has said that AFTER the border is sealed we can "have a discussion" about those illegals remaining. I take that to mean some sort of "path to citizenship amnesty." So, at the first turn, Trump is in the lead about about four lengths over Cruz, and the rest of the pack is about 20 lengths back. Now, Fiorina is a sleeper.
I'm just saying that in the short run Trump could increase his lead to about 10 lengths if he said something like we need to CUT the number of H1-B visas and that "no American should ever have to train a foreigner to take his job." I think THAT line would win him 20 million votes.
But I'm not naive. Trump has NO position so far on virtually any of the other hot-button issues, including ISIS ("I'll find the right general" isn't a strategy, it's a prayer).
