Clinton: Trump’s deportation plan is ‘absurd, inhumane and un-American’
During an appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Trump said that the US has conducted mass deportations in the past while discussing his plan to boot all undocumented immigrants from the country. And you’re going to bring the country – frankly, you have excellent, wonderful people. fantastic people who have been here for a period of time.
Trump, a real estate billionaire who has been leading in opinion polls among candidates for the Republican nomination in the 2016 election, calls for building a wall along the US border with Mexico and deporting all illegal immigrants. “Its a silly argument”.
Will the officers in the deportation force be trained to ask politely for proof of citizenship or that someone is in the country legally?
Obama said there has always been a streak of anti-immigrant sentiment in the United States. And on Tuesday night, he took a stance against Trump, saying that it was ridiculous to think “we are going to somehow pick them [11 million immigrants] up at their house, and ship them to Mexico”.
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush also took a different approach to illegal immigration, while Sen.
“Nobody thinks that that is realistic”. “And it would send a signal that we’re not the kind of country that I know America is”. The Washington Post reported on Wednesday that “Operation Wetback was a disgraceful episode that involved inhumane treatment of Mexican migrants, an unknown number of whom died or were sickened by being forcibly relocated and in many cases deposited in sweltering, remote locations with little food or water”. Most of the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants are Hispanic.
“How are you going to pay for this?”
“Are you going to have a massive deportation force?” she asked.
Of course, Trump has incurred the wrath of advocates for illegals with small groups of protesters being an ever-present part of his appearances.
As long as he kept his ideas for mass deportation in the abstract, Trump had no trouble rallying the GOP base and drawing huge crowds to his speeches.
Democratic President Barack Obama wants to lift the threat of deportation to millions of undocumented people.
In the interview, Obama said Trump’s plan would cost the country billions.
