[6/18/2012] Donald Trump Calls President Obama's Immigration Move "Political" [opposed deporting]
Fox News ^ | 6/18/2012 | Fox and Friends

Posted on 02/27/2016 9:03:23 PM PST by JediJones

Trump: ...But something has to be done with respect to immigration. As they said during the Republican debates, I think most of them agreed, really, you have people that have been here for 20 years, they speak the language, some of them don't even speak Spanish, but they speak the language. It's very, very tough, I mean on a human basis, on a lot of other bases, uh, to be throwing people out...

Kilmeade: If you're Donald Trump, how do you play this?

Trump: Well, it's a very complicated subject and you don't just play it one way, but for people that have been here for years that have, y'know, been hard workers, have good jobs, are supporting a family, it's very, very tough to just say, by the way, y'know, 22 years, you're getting, you have to leave, get out!

...

I'm one of the world's very conservative people but I have to tell you, on a human basis, how do you throw somebody out that's lived in this country for 20 years?

...[Romney talk]...

Doocy: ...What will hundreds of thousands of work permits do to unemployment and the economy at large?

Trump: Well, obviously, you know, the concept is that, uh, you throw everybody out and everybody else gets a job, but it doesn't work that way. And a lot of the jobs that these people have, a lot of other people don't want. ... Whether it's picking grapes or doing something else, you have jobs that a lot of people aren't going to want. So I don't think...it's as complicated as that. But we really have to come up with a solution. And we also have to have a solution with compassion. We have to show some compassion. We just can't throw everybody out.

NY Times Bombshell Scoop: Fox News Colluded with Rubio to Give Amnesty to Illegal Aliens

http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/02/27/marco-rubio-pushed-for-immigration-reform-with-conservative-media/

But the media executives, highly attuned to the intensifying anger in the Republican grass roots, warned that the senators also needed to make their case to Rush Limbaugh, the king of conservative talk radio, who held enormous sway with the party’s largely anti-immigrant base.

(snip)...The dinner at News Corporation headquarters — which has not been previously reported — and the subsequent outreach to Mr. Limbaugh illustrate the degree to which Mr. Rubio served as the chief envoy to the conservative media for the group supporting the legislation. The bill would have provided a pathway to American citizenship for 11 million illegal immigrants along with measures to secure the borders and ensure that foreigners left the United States upon the expiration of their visas.

So whatever Donald J. Trump might have mumbled in an interview as a private citizen/businessman pales in comparison to those that actively work to undermine the very structure and stability of the U.S.

So are we running against Fox News now?

Please. You Trumpers abandon all your former loves to worship Trump and Trump alone.

Your Rush Limbaugh, your Mark Levin, all the conservative pundits and websites all thrown to the curb because they don’t worship Trump.

Anyone who is the least bit objective about Trump is instantly dismissed.

You Trumpers live in a never, never land called Trumpville where the sun always shines and everything is beautiful.

I would feel sorry for you about your rude awakening that’s sure to come if you weren’t taking the country down with you.

Are you kidding? If Rubio goes on Fox to push for amnesty, he’s colluding, but if Trump does it of his own free will, he bears no responsibility? You just underlined how important taking the amnesty propaganda to conservative outlets was for the bill’s backers. Trump said exactly what the Gang of 8 backers wanted people to hear in this interview.

Here’s another version for you all:

Bombshell Expose’ – Conservative Radio: Limbaugh, Ingraham, Hannity and Levin Were All Part of Gang-of-Eight “Gaslighting”…

http://theconservativetreehouse.com/2016/02/28/bombshell-expose-conservative-radio-limbaugh-ingraham-hannity-and-levin-were-all-part-of-gang-of-eight-gaslighting/

The New York Times has just laid virtually all of talk radio’s top conservative punditry naked to their enemies by revealing a coordinated effort, between them and top DC politicians, to “tamp-down” opposition to comprehensive immigration reform, and “gaslight” the national republican audience. A brutal expose’…

Take note...Michael Savage is not included on the list...A true American. Oh and according to Roger Stone, Rubio’s beard called Heidi to try and talk Ted into dropping out and supporting Rubio. Evidently there is disagreement as to who should drop out and support who. Looks like a bit of collusion with the GOPe here, eh?

As Snowden tweeted today. Donald Trump or Goldman Sachs.

Take your pick folks. DO you want a Blustery blow-hard but true American, or just a junior senator with designs to hand America’s sovereignty to the globalists?

How does Trump have the best chance to get elected when the Democrats can put together a hundred John Kerry “blowing in the wind” ads of Trump being for stuff before he was against it and against stuff before he was for it?

They are going to make Trump look like a fool who either can’t remember what he said from one day to the next or a cheap political hack willing to say anything to get elected. And they will have a lot more money to spend on ads to blanket the airwaves than Trump’s GOP opponents do now.

True. People are so selfish. Trump said himself that it’s hard to get Americans to work for him. They expect full time work and decent wages and even benefits.

That’s why he HAS to hire illegals.

Don’t you people even care about his problems??

Trump sounded like a traitor from the GOP(e). He was praising Romney and actually sounding like Rubio, Bush and all the other GOP(e)elite who don’t promise to herd those 12,000,000 illegals into cattle cars right back to Mexico where they belong.

Even if what you say is true, how does that make it okay for Trump to go on TV and push amnesty himself?

When it comes to amnesty, it is clear that Ted Cruz is the guy who has been THE MOST against it out of Trump, Rubio or the others, except possibly Santorum who dropped out.

True. People here (Trumpers) seem to think Trump will have no problem with Hillary.

Come on. Hillary is the past master at digging up dirt and Trump is a fertile field. She has enough dirt on Trump already to overflow a landfill.

And she’ll have the free media that Trump has enjoyed during this primary campaign. Trump is gonna look around and they will be gone, baby, gone.

Did Reagan collude with the GOPe by taking Bush as his V.P.? This is realpolitik. You need allies to wage a successful political campaign.

Trump could be a huge blessing in disguise if he actually gets the GOP to support a Cruz ticket. Having Rubio as V.P. would be a reasonable compromise to getting full support and funding in the general election for Cruz. We could be seeing God’s plan for the country in action here.

So tell me...How will the anointed one get enough delegates to take the first ballot at the Convention. Tell me how the anointed one will hold it together to even beat Rubio? And how will the anointed one fare when its all yanked away and given to Romney or Ryan or what other globalist #uck they can dream up?

Trump has held views on both sides of the tracks in the past. I suppose it was to appear with the prevailing attitudes of the day. All I know is that he is not a globalist. At worst he is a Trumpist. But hell, tell me, does Schafly, Sessions see something different than you and I? Did Donald pull the wool over their eyes? Is he so cunning that he is fooling these and a whole host of other people?

Go ahead, take your advice from Rush and Levin and Hannity and all the other gaslighters. Let them blow smoke up your ### and dutifully follow the most trusted conservatives that ever walked the planet.

As for me... I plan on voting for the only Natural Born American that has a chance to win.

Trump supported Touchback Amnesty just 2 days ago during the 2/25 debate in Houston.

He is wishy-washy even on his central platform.
