The prime objective needs to be MANAGED immigration of LEGAL immigrants. I suppose we and our children's children will have to bear the stupidity of our illegal population.The president is the chief administrator, something a lot of people don't understand The job of president is to administer laws and legislation passed by congress. The president can only propose legislation. He must depend on his party to introduce it and get it through congress.I don't even think Trump buys into all of the bullshit he says. He just knows what his base is and we'll say anything to get their attention.Trump calls for bringing back torture, killing the wives and children of suspected terrorists, and banning all Muslims from entering the country without coming to some conclusions about how he would behave in the White House.Trump’s Shocking Suggestion for What to Do About North Korea’s Kim Jong-un
Hmm this sounds very familiar. Why is that? Oh, now I remember. It's straight from the plot of the movie "The Interview".
Why do you people continue to embarrass yourselves by supporting this idiot? It's amazing that he can say something so dramatic and completely unrealistic yet his idiotic base will still eat it up.
Major programs such as removing 11 million illegal immigrants would require somewhere between 600 billion and 2 trillion dollars over a period of years. Congress would have to allocate the funds. Congress must also pass legislation that would insure local participation and make major changes in the the processing of deportees. To build a great wall between the US and Mexico, to break NAFTA, put tariffs on imports, or stop Muslims from entering the country would all require legislation by congress.
Would Trump be able to get support from Congress for what he has proposed? I think not. Congress is the heart of the establishment where there is almost zero support for Trump and his proposals. Changes in trade treaties would end up in the Senate where Republican support is weakest. Building a wall between the US and Mexican and mass deportations have already been rejected by Republicans in congress. None of these issues would even make it to the legislative agendas. Trump is a smart guy and he surely knows all this, so one has to wonder what would be his real agenda as president.
