I would prefer Trump have a plan where illegals are required to report to certain locations within the USA. If they don’t by a certain date, they are automatically deported.
They would need to report to facilities (it could be places where people get their driver’s licenses) or other IDs. They would be required to provide information on where they’re living, working, and how long they’ve been here.
The ones that didn’t report would be automatically deported. The ones that did will begin a process with their nation of origin where they apply to be here. Then an evaluation process of their background and what they’ve done since being here.
If most are going to be allowed back, as Trump says, this would be cheaper and it would appear more humane. If anyone is allowed to stay, they must pay a fine for being here illegally (at least $5000 to be paid up front or over a period of time), be crime free, not qualify for welfare (if they need it, get it through charities) or earned income tax credits, pay taxes, I would have no problem if they were then given a path to citizenship after a period of 10 years or more while proving to be a good potential and productive citizen.
I now favor Trump but his plan needs to be a little more realistic.
What is Trump's plan?

Terrible idea
