IIRC he’s said that ALL illegals have to go.

What about deportation?

I'd say it's included in #2. No need to make deportation stand out from all the others. Just enforce the law. Deportation is the law. I'm sure he'll be asked about again, so he can clarify. But it doesn't have to be a separate item in his written policy.

2. A nation without laws is not a nation. Laws passed in accordance with our Constitutional system of government must be enforced.

Build the wall to help control terrorists, drug dealers, other nefarious people.

Cut off the freebies and jobs to control illegal invaders wanting to relocate to the USA.

No more anchor babies. There are mixed views on whether it would really require a constitutional amendment. Test the waters.

Trump is still a NY Democrat without a political track record.
We've all heard the promises before Potomac fever sets in.

The Constitution is clear in it’s language.

The 14th amendment starts with this sentence.

“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside.”

Now, the problem is that it does not matter to this language if a person is legally or illegally in the country.

It. Does. Not. Matter.

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.

So what does the second point refer to? People who have diplomatic immunity are not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, i.e. they cannot be charged with a crime nor stand trial under a court appointed by the United States. Because they are not under the jurisdiction of the United States, any child born to them is NOT a citizen of the United States, even when born here.

Now, I would 100% support an amendment to the Constitution that declared that anybody born to a mother who did not have legal right of permanent residency must be naturalized to become a citizen of the United States, but the way the Constitution reads now, an illegal alien who gives birth in the United States, gives birth to a United States citizen.

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

How so? Birthright citizenship was conjured up by SCOTUS in 1982. I wasn't aware that SCOTUS was given the power to Naturalize citizens...../s

Raising wages for H1B makes the process much less attractive, no cheap labor.

Yep, taking the incentive away from CoC and IT businesses.

You cannot just wave your hand and dismiss that fact. We’ve been fooled before.

Not bad, but I don’t see anything about liquidation camps.

You sloughed over this part of the 14th:

...are CITIZENS of the United States AND of the state wherein they reside.

Lots of people prefer your interpretation, though, which makes the Trump/Sessions plan unfeasible in a short period of time...my remaining lifetime.

Trump would end “birthright citizenship.”

There are Mexicans giving birth as the enter. This happens on the freeways, and right at the border as they enter. This has been going on for decades while people like Bush and Obama winked and nodded.

Millions do this to get a foot in the freebie door.

The world is laughing at us.
