Donald Trump, Wavering on Immigration, Finds Anger in All Corners

Source: MSN/NY Times

Donald J. Trump, who captured the Republican nomination with a hard-line approach to immigration, faced anger and disgust from across the political spectrum on Thursday after he indicated he might retreat from his vow to deport all 11 million immigrants who are in the United States illegally.

In a town hall-style appearance broadcast on Fox News on Wednesday night, Mr. Trump appeared to suggest that he would now be open to some kind of path to legal status, if not citizenship, for undocumented immigrants.

“No citizenship,” Mr. Trump said. “They’ll pay back taxes. They have to pay taxes,” he added. “There’s no amnesty, but we will work with them,” he said at another point.

For Mr. Trump, the new, moderate talk on immigration could help convince some on-the-fence voters, particularly whites, that he has more compassion for Hispanics and other minorities than his previous, hard-line positions would suggest.

and undocumented immigrants are going to pay back taxes

How are you going to get poor immigrant workers who hold some of the
lowliest jobs in America - lowest wages - to pay back taxes?

Seriously, the man is tetched in the head!!

Maybe their employers would have to pay their part of the social security tax too.

and many are in the cash economy anyway

Maybe Trump thinks they'll all leave once they hear they're going to be taxed

It's Romney's self-deportation for economic reasons

__Donald Says __ “There’s no amnesty, but we will work with them,” ____
=====================================================

You have to remember that there are quotas for legal immigration into the United States
from Mexico. All manner of mischievousness becomes possible once you are on the wrong
side of the fence and in the queue, waiting for migration.

Recent deportees would go to the end of the ever growing line for processing.

This is not a retreat, This is Donald Speak.
