Under Trumpâs immigration plan, almost all of the 11 million illegal aliens (save for a small minority with criminal records) will get to return and get permanent legal status to stay here in America.
Trump supports amnesty.
On Fox News on November 12, Trumpâs son Eric expressed frustration that the media overlooks this:
"The point isnât just deporting them, itâs deporting them and letting them back in legally. Heâs been so clear about that and I know the liberal media wants to misconstrue it, but itâs deporting them and letting them back legally."
Eric Trump is right. His father has been crystal clear that he wants all the illegals to return and live in America.
Listen closely to what Trump is actually proposing. In an interview with CNNâs Dana Bash earlier this year, Trump explained his plan this way:
I would get people out and then have an expedited way of getting them back into the country so they can be legalâ¦. A lot of these people are helping us ⦠and sometimes itâs jobs a citizen of the United States doesnât want to do. I want to move âem out, and weâre going to move âem back in and let them be legal.
This is a policy called âtouchbackâ and it was first proposed in 2007 by moderate Republican Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (Texas). She offered a âtouchbackâ amendment on the Senate floor that would have required illegal immigrants to return to their home countries to apply for a special âZ visaâ that would allow them to re-enter the United States in an expedited fashion and work here indefinitely.

Cult of personality.
BS
Oh yea! Almost forgot..BS!
You can say that again-— and again if you want to but it has nothing to do with actual truth.
“Letting them in legally” with work/travel visas vs. “giving them citizenship” are two different things.
Trump is NOT proposing the latter.
Trump was loud and clear. You go back....and start over....and come in legally. That is not amnesty.
Sadly, you’re wrong. What he is advocating is exactly touchback.
BS
If Trump actually deports them all, the great majority would not have the skills to get back in legally. So the amnesty charge is mute.
Get rid of all entitlement programs and social services and, in principle, we’d be happy to have as many illegal immigrants as cared to cross the border.
We have less of an illegal immigration problem, imo, and more of a welfare problem.
Legal U.S. CITIZENS should not be receiving subsidized housing, food, health care, education, etc.
DT said so. Trumpees have something going on where they don’t read or don’t comprehend and believe like Rush always said about Obama, people believe he is what they want them to be. Never thought I would see that on the right.
Can you explain your line of reasoning?
WHOA WHOA WHOA There skippy.......while I agree with you on that, you Trumpsters have been saying for months that anything short of mass deportation effen NOW is AMNESTY. So your post here is an epic failure in attempt to rescue trump.
Trump has endorsed operation wetback as his role model for immigration policy for crying out loud, that’s about as far away from supporting amnesty as you can get if you openly support Eisenhower immigration policy.
wow, you are a brilliant and insightful debater........./s
The "expedited" process to bring them back "rapidly" says that it is.
Trump employs hordes of busboys, maids, cooks, groundskeepers, and construction laborers. He's well known for seeking bottom dollar labor. What makes you think he's going to commit economic suicide? Hell, in many places it's impossible to get a job in that business without speaking Spanish. So what makes you think he couldn't hire those same people back by simply making the language a job requirement?
Oh wait, this isn't Ted. Never-mind.
Trump still plans on mass deportation.
Other than that your perceptions are spot on.
LOL
About as good as Ted’s debate skills last night.
You should do some research. It is a cult — just like Rush said about bambi long ago “People make them up to be what they want him to be”. That is spelled cult.
