Donald Trump promises ‘deportation force’ to remove 11 million
It is not an adult argument. “It makes no sense”. “And it would tear communities apart”.
“I wish we could call – can we call the election for tomorrow?” he added.
On Morning Joe the following day, Donald Trump explained why he was right, as always, and his opponents were wrong.
Cohen said, “I don’t think we have an exact number”.
Mr. Trump, who has stirred up so much enthusiasm for mass deportations, is now offering what he evidently regards as an exemplary template: the far more modest but still massively cruel round-’em-up-and-throw-’em-out program carried out, mainly in the summer of 1954, under the administration of President Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Hundreds of thousands of farm workers did so, and the deportation effort was conceived as a way to pressure employers into using the guest worker program.
“Lots of problems”, he added of his fellow primary contenders.
“(Christie) is a good man, a good guy, and he did well last night from what they tell me”, Trump said, referencing the New Jersey governor’s performance in the undercard debate.
Those questions just don’t really matter to the ill-informed folks who are prone to hysterics and fearmongering.
While Trump expresses the opinions of many Republicans, his positions on immigration – and those of many other Republicans – may do relatively little to help Republicans gain support among Hispanics, a group that many believe they need to attract in order to win back the presidency.
Included in the immigration proposal Trump released this past August is a call for to triple the number of immigrations and customs enforcement agents.
“Not even the most politically conservative Mexican American organizations could ignore the fact that [Immigration] dragnets not only were affecting putative illegal aliens but also were devastating Mexican American families, disrupting businesses in Mexican neighborhoods, and fanning interethnic animosities throughout the border region”, he writes. “You’re going to have a deportation force, and you’re going to do it humanely”.
But Trump’s lack of specifics has been a hallmark of the campaign, said Rouse. According to the survey, conducted last week, 49 percent of Republican voters think Trump is best qualified to handle the issue of immigration. The candidate in second place on this issue is “not sure”. When pressed on how he could carry out the deportation of millions, Trump said “you’re going to have a deportation force, and you’re going to do it humanely”. For now, said Rouse, accuracy and a reality check are not what presidential hopefuls like Trump are after. It’s going to be a real wall. “There’s going to be a big attractive nice door”, Trump said on MSNBC. But we have no choice. “We either have a country, or we don’t”. One congressional investigation likened a transport ship that was the site of a riot to an eighteenth century slave ship and a penal hell ship.Trump touted the approach as a virtue of Eisenhower-era program in Tuesday nights debate.Moved a 1.5 million illegal immigrants out of this country, moved them just beyond the border.
To a few applause, he said, “I happen to think the police are not being treated properly in this country”.
