Under Trump’s 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, Trump’s son Eric expressed frustration that the media overlooks this:
"The point isn’t just deporting them, it’s deporting them and letting them back in legally. He’s been so clear about that and I know the liberal media wants to misconstrue it, but it’s 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 CNN’s 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 legal…. A lot of these people are helping us … and sometimes it’s jobs a citizen of the United States doesn’t want to do. I want to move ’em out, and we’re going to move ’em back in and let them be legal.
This is a policy called “touchback†and it was first proposed in 2007 by moderate Republican Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (Texas). She offered a “touchback†amendment on the Senate floor that would have required illegal immigrants to return to their home countries to apply for a special “Z visa†that would allow them to re-enter the United States in an expedited fashion and work here indefinitely.

Hey, the leader is always right. The leader is never wrong. When the leader says the opposite of what he said yesterday, the leader is still right.
Trump has said “the good ones” can come back after being deported. I say, there are no “good ones”! Anyone who sneaks across our border like a thief in the night, or deliberately overstays a visa, is not “good” and should never be allowed to come back into our country. I wish someone would tell Trump that. But none of the other candidates will, since THEIR plans are even worse than Trump’s! I’m still leaning toward Trump, since at least he promises to build a wall. But I wish he’d change his mind about the so-called “good ones.” Maybe someone like Ann Coulter can start hammering him on it.
You should have changed your login name to TDS.
How many times is the AH Thieson going to be quoted in different articles today? Two yesterday, two up now. The guy is a Bushie Shill. His wife works for GOPe Portman.
no, he doesn’t. He knows it sells to the suckers. Go lick some more.
Many if not most won’t come back. Number one, there is no statute of limitations on fraud.
One of the threads on this report yesterday contained a response that included a list of the requirements for “Coming back legally”. It is not a “touch back”, it is more of a “get at the end of the line”. For some, it is “never darken our door again!”
At this point, let’s wait and see what the guy who won Iowa for Rick Santorum can do for Donald Trump. :-)
You mean “moot” not “mute.” Look them up. You’ll see they’re not the same.
Aww, another Christian for Cruz.
You folks are so precious.
Most will come back.
This is what "touchback" said too.
“Cult of personality.”
You are spot on about that. Cult of personality comes as close to any in describing how people will excuse away just about anything that Trump says or does.
Most will get back. ?That’s the plan. Of course it’s amnesty. Anything that allows illegals a path to stay or return here legally is a form of amnesty. Period.
Going back and getting in line isn’t amnesty.
that’s dumb, even for you.
The first is a step to the second. once they’ve been let back in legally (which is itself a form of amnesty), they’re in position to apply for citizenship.
I assume you are comparing what it has to do with actual truth, to what Trump's words a few days ago had to do with actual truth: "Now Ted just switched his views on ethanol. He was totally against ethanol, now all the sudden he's for it, you know, it's Iowa and he's for it."
Words, Trump's own words verbatim quoted directly from a recent interview, had absolutely ZILCH to do with "actual truth."
Not to put too fine a point on it, Trump outright LIED. He lied in order to trick people into doubting Cruz on a false premise.
That has everything to do with "actual truth," Wendle.
It’s factual, even with you.
Unlike Cruz and Rubio, at least Trump is deporting them and building a wall. The rules for who gets back in are not yet determined.
Not to mention Cruz’s proposal for increasing H1B visas by hundreds of thousands.
The politicians are great at talking big and getting nothing done. Nothing good at least.
Actually, it is.
If that’s not amnesty, then touchback isn’t amnesty either, as McCain and the rest of that gang were arguing at the time. “Going back and getting in line” is EXACTLY what touchback was.
