Does Trump letting back in the “good” illegals in an “expedited” process after deportation count as amnesty?

Trump was asked about that recently and stated his reference was to "immigration" in general would be expedited, though within the confines of new standards.

My understanding of the amendment added to the gang of 8 bill was a poison pill by Cruz. He single handily killed the Rubio bill. He can’t say anything other than he wanted his amendment to pass with the bill or we would have gotten amnesty. His amendment was so destructive that rubio and the other 7 let it die. Now I know this is too complicated for your average burger flipper. They make it look as if he flip flopped, but he never did and single handily saved us from ruin.

This is a completely bizarre take. The bill passed the Senate. If anything, had Cruz's amendments passed, it probably would have instantly passed the House too. It gave the Democrats 500 percent increase in H1B visas, doubled Green Cards and gave legalization to illegals. This was a position that Cruz continued to support long after the gang of eight fight was over.

This isn’t rocket science. There is a PROCESS to enter this country LEGALLY. It’s been that way for over 100 years. Trump is advocating rule of law to enter this country legally. Look up the US immigration process.

No, he’s saying the deported illegals will get a special “expedited” process to come back. He’s said that word in countless interviews.

I like how you ignored my post so you could continue writing this misinformation. You are truly a loathsome Cruzbot.

Unless Trump plans to spend his own money to transport all these illegals over the border, there’s NO WAY he’s going to get congress to fund such a scheme. They will never, ever do it.

It’s simple ...it’s called the bully pulpit and Americans flooding the phone lines and mail boxes .. that’s how we stopped the Bush/McCain amnesty when they tried it

The amendment Cruz added to the bill said any illegal in the country was forever banned from citizenship. He gutted the effect of the bill.

That could always be undone by another bill, but what we're talking about is Legalization of illegals, which Cruz touted the bill still allowed for in subsequent interviews after the gang of eight fight was over. Cruz claims he never supported legalization.
