Alright already with the nonstop questions!
No specifics. Other than ending birthright citizenship, building a ginormous wall, and deporting 11 million-plus people, Trump is offering no specifics,
reports Patrick Healy.
Mr. Trump, the billionaire businessman whose blunt talk and outsider appeal has helped him build a lead in Republican polls, refused to provide specifics about his immigration plans during phone interviews on two Sunday news programs, ABC’s “This Week” and CBS’s “Face the Nation.” He disputed estimates that he would need hundreds of billions of dollars to deport the roughly 11 million people who are living in the United States illegally, but he declined to cite his own figures or explain where the money would come from. He promised instead that good “management,” as he put it on ABC, would fix the nation’s immigration system.
“My specifics are very simple,” Mr. Trump said. “I’m going to get great people that know what they’re doing, not a bunch of political hacks that have no idea what they’re doing, appointed by President Obama, that doesn’t have a clue.
We have been over this, people—
management! Could you all please stop acting like imbeciles?
Trump also sidestepped this little dose of reality on ABC's This Week:
The host, George Stephanopoulos, pressed him multiple times to be more specific, asking at one point if Mr. Trump expected neighbors to start turning in neighbors to immigration authorities.
“I don’t know what’s going to happen,” Mr. Trump replied, before pivoting to attack other candidates like Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin, whom he accused of heeding the advice of pollsters by turning against birthright citizenship to match Mr. Trump’s position.
Because that's what we're talking about folks, even if Trump isn't. Pitting neighbor against neighbor. Who's legal, who isn't? Should we turn them in? Or not?
And yes, that's terrifying.
