Does this then mean Cruz is for a form of amnesty by providing Legal Status to Illegals? Watch the video and you be the judge.

Does Trump endorse amnesty for illegals over-and-over again in 2015?

In an interview with Hannity, Trump clarified that his process involves deporting the "bad ones", presumably criminals already in prison, building a wall, and then have some of the "outstanding" ones from the "11 million or more here" be able to reapply to come here legally through some sort of expedited process.

Again we're not talking hard numbers here, but it's a vast improvement over the impression left by Trump's previous comments. I'm somewhat skeptical about it and it would be good to get some kind of impression of what numbers we're talking about. Certainly Trump is the first to suggest mass deportation, but that would be followed by some sort of mass importation. I doubt Trump will offer hard numbers, so we're back to trust.

By being vague about it, Trump appears to offer immigration critics mass deportation and offer illegal alien supporters amnesty. Without any actual criteria, it could be one or the other. It's all in the details.

What does "bad" mean. What does "outstanding" mean. If we assume that anyone without a criminal record who worked steadily is outstanding, then we're looking at a slightly smaller amnesty. If it means overachievers and a smaller percentage of extraordinary cases, then it could be a pretty good deal. Until there are more details, it's hard to know.

Trump says of the illegal aliens, "of the good ones, of which there are many" would have to leave, but would have an expedited process of coming back.

How many is many?
