    “we dealt with all the illegals by creating a system so they aren’t illegal.”

    Uses same system that has existed for decades.

    It makes them look like they are solving issues.

    Shouldn’t be surprised Trump can’t figure out what he wants to do with immigrants. He can’t figure out what he wants to do with anything else. Everything is “no, not like that.”

      I don’t know what’s so hard to grasp;

      • immigrants are bad because they steal American jobs
      • immigrants are good because exploitative industries can’t run without desperate, no-option workers
      • immigrants are bad because they’re free loaders
      • immigrants are good because they pay far more tax than they collect in benefits, illegal or legal
      • immigrants are bad because they keep American wages down
      • immigrants are good because they keep tech wages down so we should expand the visa programs tech companies lobbied for

      As long as you know to which audience he’s speaking, corporate funders or everyone else, he’s been completely consistent.

    But I thought immigrants were bad? Now we are going to screen, pick, and ask them to apply to come here? We should give this program a name. Sounds rrevolutionary!
