>> Amazingly, Yoder did this just a day after flying on Air Force One and receiving the endorsement of President Trump! The president “thanked” him for putting $5 billion in the bill for a border wall, but the border wall is worthless with Yoder’s asylum policy. It allows anyone to come here and simply claim a bogus fear. <<
Sorry, folks, but Donald Trump doesn’t give a damn about immigration. He simply knew that to get elected, he had to outflank Ted Cruz. Great judges, great trade actions, great for deregulation, but when it comes to immigration, the only thing he’s ever done has been to pick an attorney general who, despite other failings, has been great on the issue.
Utter nonsense. President Donald Trump brought up immigration long before Ted Cruz was a serious contender.
Man I am pretty jaded too but no where near believing Trump doesn't care about immigration. But I certainly agree that the GOP leadership are all open borders and mostly #NeverTrump.
It starts with the Justice Department but it won’t end there.
Well, then dangus, why don’t you just get lost? Talk about a backstabbing turncoat!
Sadly, you're correct. I have a bunch of Trump quotes on teh subject from 2015, shortly before he decided to run for president. I compiled them in 2016:
Meanwhile, here is Donald Trump’s position as of A FEW MONTHS AGO (2015):
(July 26)
"Now, a lot of these people are helping us, whether it's the grapes, or whether it's jobs, and sometimes it's jobs, in all fairness, I love our country, but sometimes it's jobs that a citizen of the United States doesn't want to do. I mean, there are jobs that a lot of people don't want to do. I want to move them out, and we’re going to move them back in.
"I mean, a lot of people don't understand that, but the DREAMers, it’s a tough situation, we’re going to do something, and one of the things we’re going to do is expedite — when somebody's terrific, we want them back here.
"I have to tell you: Some of these people have been here, they've done a good job. You know, in some cases, sadly, they've been living under the shadows. ... If somebody’s been outstanding, we try and work something out."
[The article continues] This is in line with what CNN’s Chris Moody reported Trump saying during a press conference in Chicago at the end of June. When asked what he would do about the illegal immigrants already residing in the country once the border was secured, Trump replied, "give them a path," according to Moody.
Audio on Trump's amnesty record
(As of July 14)
Trump: You have to give them a path. You have 20 million, 30 million, nobody knows what it is. It used to be 11 million. Now, today I hear it’s 11, but I don’t think it’s 11. I actually heard you probably have 30 million. You have to give them a path, and you have to make it possible for them to succeed. You have to do that.
(As of August 10 — remember all these dates on the Trump quotes are 2015!)
"Asked about his immigration ideas on CNN, Trump was a mess, beginning with the old "jobs Americans won’t do" canard favored by open-borders proponents (a canard because it always leaves out the relevant qualifier: "at current wages"), then suggesting that we should deport the millions of illegals who are already here only to turn around and bring them back ("I want to move them out, and we’re going to move them back in, and let them be legal.") This process would include those brought here as young children, who will be deported and recycled based on the criterion of whether they are — Trump’s word — "terrific." What might constitute a federal terrificness standard remains unclear. "We’re going to do something," Trump said. "I’ve been giving it so much thought. You know you have a, on a humanitarian basis, you have a lot of deep thought going into this, believe me. I actually have a big heart."
[The article continues] Deporting some 11 million illegals who have for many years evaded deportation only to reimport them under an expedited legal immigration system, the contours of which currently are undefined, and then granting them some sort of permanent legal status is simply another variation on amnesty, and a complicated, expensive, and thick-headed version of amnesty at that. Like the proposed reform program of 2007, which would have purportedly required illegals to be present in their country of origin when applying for legal status, this isn’t just amnesty — it’s also amnesty-laundering.
These are pro-amnesty positions Trump took JUST A FEW MONTHS AGO (2015)!
(Remember, this was written in early 2016.)
The policy of deporting illegals, only to bring them back, BTW, is called "touchback amnesty", and it's the very thing we all fought so hard to defeat in 2007 and attack the Bushies for.
