Quote:IMO....he won't deport every illegal,

 

"have to go, we have no choice.  they have to go, and then they have to come back, legally"  Translation, Executive order for the deportation of criminal aliens (he's mentioned that he would start with the gangs, etc.  As for those who OBVIOUSLY would be allowed back in it will be determined that instead of having them go and come back in they will be given the ability to have a work permit if they can prove who they are.  


 

Mind you, i concede that is pure speculation but when you put together his statements about loving LEGAL immigration and the big door he is leaving himself enough room to make the concession for legalization in the absence of citizenship.  


 

Inside baseball, the biggest hurdle to legalization has been the failures in border security.  People forget that we signed comprehensive immigration reform back in 1986.  We granted amnesty to 3 million people with the promise that the border would be secure and it wouldn't have to happen again.  This failure poisoned the well on the right to ever consider it again (never mind that support for republican candidates among Hispanics actually went DOWN 15 points after this bill was signed).  If we actually secure the border and enforce immigration against Criminal aliens (something like Kate's law) then legal status for the grandmother and the grandfather types will be seen as a compromise position on the part of Trump and the bone that centrist Democrats might need to justify their vote.  


 

he won't stop Muslims from entering country,

 

In reality he never actually made the promise that he would.  In the case of the refugee resettlement of course that would be halted and that only makes sense.  His original statement was that we should stop the influx until we know what the hell is going on.  His move will not be to stop Immigration permanently, but to impose a system that allows us to know what the hell is going on.  The lapses that lead to San Bernandino are indefensible and should be fixed no matter who is president.  


 

he won't get Mexico to pay for the wall,

 

That's actually the easiest to deliver on.  We have roughly about a 50 billion dollar annual trade deficit with Mexico.  That means 200 billion over his first term.  We need 2 billion dollars to build the wall.  that means that if we imposed a 1% tariff, then that pays for it.  If we rebalance our trade with them by 5% then that means 10 billion dollars more in the US economy and that means that we would take in approximately 2 billion dollars in initial revenue.  


 

he won't come in and wipe out Isis, but I digress....when politifact researched and found the vast majority of his claims are false or unsubstantiated, I have a hard time being led around by his rhetoric.

Like all politicians, his mouth is writing a check his [BAD WORD REMOVED] can't cash, and my concern is him turning this country into what he did for the Jersey shore. Only time would tell, but I'm still betting he doesn't sniff the presidency.

He actually is the most liberal of the candidates, and if he does get nominated, watch him swing to the middle. He's learning quick on how to be a politician.

But,hey, Putin likes him, so I assume that's a vote of confidence for some. It might have some seeing red.
