Sunday on WABC New York’s “The Rita Cosby Show,” Republican presidential candidate former Gov. George Pataki (R-NY) said Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump’s immigration plan of deporting the over 11 million illegal immigrants currently living in the Untied States and then letting the good people back in the country after being screened, and ending birthright citizenship is “un-American, outrageous and Demagogic.”
Pataki said, “I’ll tell you, this is crazy. First we have to secure the border, and know that people come here illegally. But think about the idea. Whether or not it’s Constitutional… Requires a Constitutional Amendment, or, as Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) 80% said, getting something through Congress. We’re going to send 11 million people back to wherever they came from? It’s just senseless. And by the way, you know, you have a child, 7, 8, 9, 10 years old, born in America, speaks fluent English, never been to Mexico, or wherever his or her parents may have came from, we’re going to send police, or troopers, or soldiers into a classroom? Drag that nine-year-old out of the fourth grade and ship them back to a country they’ve never been? I mean, this, this is not America. It makes no sense. It’s Trump being a demagogue. Yes, Immigration and controlling our borders is an important issue. But to tear America apart, by doing something like this, at a time when we have to focus on growing our economy, and protecting our national security, is just senseless.”
He continued, “Well, he says he’s going to do it! And it’s outrageous and demagogic and I think completely un-American. But it’s not just Trump. I’m disappointed that so many of the other Republicans seeking the nomination won’t stand up to him. Scott Walker basically agrees with him.

So he’s hoping to move up to a position where the rounding error actually registers at 1%?
That’s not leadership,thats cartel.
Pataki is not the answer. Would I vote for him over Hillary or Bernie Sanders? Yes. Do I think he’s got a snowballs chance? No.
And this is why Deez Nuts is polling better than Pataki
The only primary candidates who support ending anchor baby citizenship are Trump, Santorum, Cruz, Carson, Paul, Jindal and Christie.
Everyone else should be disqualified as being complicit in the destruction of America.
No other name should even be floated as a possible choice by any true conservative sites.
I'm embarrassed that even though I began to sour on Dubya in '05, it took John McCain and 2008 to really open my eyes to Republican perfidy. G.H.W.B. should have been all I needed to deduce how rotten the GOP foundation had become, but I f'd up: I trusted them.
Mr. niteowl77
I would wager that a large percentage of our sitting congressman were elected to office because of similar ballots
What chance would a true conservative have against any one of them? Particularly in NY or most other blue states.
“It’s downright stunning to see how deep in dumb they are.”
And that, with all due respect, is why we are in trouble. It really isn’t stunning. From the moment we became a society in which being a politician could be a career, it was inevitable we would have poor leadership.
It has nothing to do, IMHO, with their intelligence. I don’t think you have to be Einstein to be an effective President, or Congressman, or Senator etc. To be effective, you must put the country before self, and to not be driven by ego to the point that your can’t admit you are wrong and can’t take advice from those more qualified to render certain decisions
That, unfortunately, appears to be a rarity in current day politics. Honestly, I truly believe we’d do better having revolving groups of randomly picked high school seniors running the country. I’m serious.
So true. They are very out of touch with reality.
Cut them off from ALL their freebies and possibilities for schooling and employment and they’ll self deport in no time.
Pataki listen up. The wall? It’s already law, build it. Deporting those here illegally? It’s the law, do it. Keeping those here illegally from getting jobs? Again, it’s the law enforce it. A candidate who flat out refuses to do these things? Forget it.
“Particularly in NY or most other blue states.”
NY is in a deep and irreversible decline in worth, population, and electoral votes.
Not worth it.
“Cut them off from ALL their freebies and possibilities for schooling and employment and they’ll self deport in no time.”
Need to fine the companies who hire them too
Piss on Pitaki
These fools just don't get it.
“Think about it. This is a “Republican” who is Pro-Crime.”
Nothing new. The Republican governor of Texas flew out to California in 1994 when were fighting to pass Prop 187. That governor took the side of the invading illegal aliens and came out against the grassroots Californians working for Prop 187. GW Bush. It didn’t surprise me when that s.o.b. tried to ram amnesty through.
What’s a “pataki”? That some kind of Eastern European breakfast pastry?
And why would a pastry have an opinion on anything, let alone immigration?
It’s probably 40 million or more illegal criminals.
FU, George Pataki. You’ll be at the kid’s table once again at the next debate, pretending you’re a presidential candidate.
The founding fathers were brilliant, but they screwed up by not having term limits for presidents, senators, and representatives from the get go.
Lifetime appointments for judges was another mistake.
