Maybe he’ll set fire to his combover and go back to wherever he came from? Sort of like Around the World in 80 Days, which appears to be his generation?

Put an absolute end to “economic refugees”

Didn't we outright deny economic refugees from Haiti in the past? That should be the law, because if it isn't then a billion or three people around the world would qualify.

Yeah, like Cruz he proposes lots of policy improvements—but legalization for the nearly 30 million who are here currently but not otherwise previously convicted of crimes will lead to 90 million of the same, via chain migration—and then inevitable citizenship.

E-verify only really make a difference if it is required retroactively on all employees in the country.

Yep. One out every 10 children born in the US is to an illegal alien. There about 300,000 born annually. They are entitled to food stamps, Medicaid, etc. It is how the illegal aliens gain access to our welfare system.

A lot of our own citizens could apply for economic refugee status.

Donald Trump: Undocumented Immigrants ‘Have to Go’

Donald Trump would reverse President Obama’s executive orders on immigration and deport all undocumented immigrants from the U.S. as president, he said in an exclusive interview with NBC’s Chuck Todd.

“We’re going to keep the families together, but they have to go,” he said in the interview, which will air in full on NBC’s “Meet the Press” this Sunday.

Pressed on what he’d do if the immigrants in question had nowhere to return to, Trump reiterated: “They have to go.”

“We will work with them. They have to go. Chuck, we either have a country, or we don’t have a country,” he said.

Speaking on Trump’s gilded private plane as it idled on a runway in Des Moines, Iowa, the real-estate mogul and Republican presidential frontrunner offered the first outlines of the immigration policy proposals he’d implement from the Oval Office.

Trump said, to begin, “we have to” rescind Obama’s executive order offering those brought to the U.S. illegally as children — known as DREAMers — protection from deportation, as well as Obama’s unilateral move to delay deportation for their families as well.

“We have to make a whole new set of standards” for those immigrating to the US.

The comments are certain to further inflame already fierce opposition from Latino activists and advocacy groups. They’ve been critical of Trump’s candidacy from the start, when he kicked off his campaign with a speech that accused Mexico of sending “criminals” and “rapists” to the U.S.

Despite criticism from some within his own party — GOP primary opponent Jeb Bush called those comments “extraordinarily ugly” — Trump doubled down and has, since launching his bid in June, maintained a persistent lead in polls of the GOP field. He routinely draws thousands of enthusiastic supporters to his campaign rallies, and recently opened up his first campaign office in the all-important early voting state of Iowa.

The full interview will air Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” starting at 9 a.m. ET.

But he’s also apparently left a hole for nearly 30 million otherwise-not-convicted illegals to stay here—and through chain migration multiply to 90 million.

BS. He is supporting attrition thru enforcement versus mass deportation. It is more pragmatic and less toxic politically.

“The language gives no other instruction. If an ‘anchor baby; is
1) born... in the United States
and
2) subject to the jurisdiction thereof
they are, by virtue of the Constitution, a citizen at birth of the United States.
The second point confuses people. They think that if someone is here illegally, they aren’t subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, but that isn’t true. Illegal aliens are under the jurisdiction of the United States. They can be arrested and charged with crimes by courts appointed by the United States.”

People born to foreigners in the US follow the citizenship of their parents, as do children born out of the US to US Citizens. Mexican children born in the US to Mexican citizen(s) are citizens of Mexico. US children born in Mexico to one or more US citizens are US citizens.

Can citizens of other countries be charged with Treason against the US? Obviously, the “courts” have decided otherwise I guess, but I maintain that if you can’t be charged with treason, you’re not “under the jurisdiction” of the Unites States of America.

Why do you keep repeating this nonsense? Where in his position paper does he propose legalizing the lawbreakers? Attrition thru enforcement. No more catch and release.

_____________________________________

the anchor baby born in America of illegal alien parents is not “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” because the parents aren’t..

the parents refuse to be “subject to the jurisdiction” or they would have honored our laws and came here legally..

the fact that they are intentionally breaking our laws by their presence within our borders denies hem the right to claim they are “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” and their anchor baby should be an American citizen...

Astounding!

Donald's going to go ballistic when he reads that Central American govts are threatening the United States of America.......UNLESS we send them more money.

Guatemalan President Otto Perez warns the USA:
"you will be inundated w/ more contagious illegals
if billions of US tax dollars are not handed over."

GUATEMALA CITY (Reuters) - The United States should provide billions of dollars to help Central American nations curb the flow of illegal migrants, Guatemalan President Otto Perez said, and his government warns the problem will get worse if Washington fails to help.

Fleeing violence, trying to reach relatives already in the United States or seeking jobs, record numbers of child migrants from Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador have been stopped at the southern U.S. border this year, causing widespread alarm. Last month, the three countries pitched Washington an ambitious development plan to confront the issue.

They want to pump about $10 billion into the region to create jobs and lift living standards, with the bulk of funding coming from the United States, Perez told Reuters. He hopes the plan could come up with about $2 billion a year from 2015 to 2019, a sum he equated to roughly 10 percent of annual U.S. spending on border security and immigration enforcement.

"Now we understand it's not simply a question of the United States saying: 'Right, here's $2 billion a year for five years' for example - the governments of the three countries have to play their part too," the conservative Perez, who took power in early 2012, said in an interview late on Monday.

The US aid package would boost infrastructure and provide more jobs in all three countries, especially in areas that send large numbers of migrants to the United States, he added.

The three Central American governments are urging the United States to shoulder the lion's share of the costs, arguing that U.S. demand for illegal narcotics has fueled violence among drug gangs across much of the impoverished region.

"The United States has to support this, it has no other option," Guatemala's foreign minister, Carlos Morales, told Reuters. "If they don't support it, the crisis will kick off again, you can count on it."

Perez said he hoped the United States would put up about 60 percent of funding. "But we'll have to discuss it calmly and see what each individual country can do, and what can be achieved by common consent."

During meetings in New York in September, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry told Central American officials he hoped Congress could approve about $300 million in funding, Morales said, noting the sum was "nothing" given the scale of the problem.

Central American leaders are due to meet Vice President Joe Biden on Nov. 12 in Washington to sound out U.S. support for their plan, Morales added.--SNIP--

Trump is running on deporting, sealing, walls, higher price for HB1s, denying the US acquiescence of birthright citizenship for illegals.

The whole dang gamut.

I understand Trump wants every illegal deported.
If they have young kids anchor babies, the entire family must leave together!

"It would take an amendment to the Constitution to end birthright citizenship."

It'd be great if we could get a law narrowing the scope a bit, but it's probably not necessary. Courts have 'deported' children born here in custody cases. Whether the non-citizen parent desires to stay here or in their native country is irrelevant. Recent case, the citizen mother wanted to keep her citizen children in the US, the court sent the kids to live with their non citizen father.
