Trump releases immigration policy plan
In the interview, Trump also offered his views on issues from national security to his own brand of energy diplomacy.
The plan lays out its message in three central parts: Build a border wall, enforce laws, and ensure improved jobs, wages and security. “Sanctuary Cities” would also be defunded and green cards to foreign workers would be suspended.
Of his plans to repeal the Obama administration’s immigration orders, including “Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals or DACA, Trump wants the actions to be rescinded”.
“They have to go”, the real estate mogul who is leading Republican primary polls nationally and in the key early-voting states of Iowa and New Hampshire, said in an interview aired Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press”. If they refused to pay, he said he would increase visa fees, impound remittance payments from undocumented immigrants, and charge Mexicans more to cross the border.
Trump, who also called for tripling the number of Immigrations and Customs Enforcement officers, posted a broad outline of his immigration policy on his web site this weekend.
The largest single group, 24.4 percent, supported the most draconian option – closed borders and mass deportation – that is dismissed by every candidate in the race, including Trump.
Trump’s proposed wall on the southern U.S. border with Mexico was, unsurprisingly, the focus of a large chunk of his position paper.
Speaking on CBS’ “Face the Nation”, Kasich said he would then work to legalize 12 million immigrants now estimated to live in the US illegally. “They are responsible for this problem, and they must help pay to clean it up”, Trump wrote. “We take over the oil, which we should have done in the first place”.
Trump’s H-1B proposal is clearly aligned with the ideas of U.S. Sen. His reason? Immigrants hurt Americans.
Donald Trump said as president he would keep the minimum wage “pretty much where it is right now”, because hiking it would hurt America’s competitiveness globally.
Trump’s presidential campaign has been marked by controversial statements, including with disparaging remarks about Mexican immigrants.
“They have to go, Chuck”, he said.
Trump said U.S. immigration laws needed to be overhauled.
“We either have a country, or we don’t have a country”, he said.
The price tag for his plan could draw the ire of Republicans, too.
The orders, if enacted, could protect as many as 5 million undocumented immigrants from deportation.
Trump’s plan, however, does not include those revenue-generating provisions. In short, Trump is starting to reveal his true colors and they definitely aren’t conservative. Hyde was reportedly living in this country illegally after crossing the border in Mexico, although he is from Belize.
There was little mention of that in his latest policy proposal. Petitions for workers should be mailed to the unemployment office, not USCIS. Jeff Sessions of Alabama, a longtime supporter of curbing both legal and illegal immigration.
Trump’s first policy paper comes somewhat begrudgingly.
Perhaps the most important element of Trump’s plan is a step to revoke “birthright citizenship” – the stipulation that children born in the United States are automatically American citizens. “And some, I assume, are good people“. I think they trust me.
