    I guess you are cool with racism. Got it. I guess if I was caught making racist remarks I'd try to downplay them as well...

    Wait, Illegals aren't eligible for Govt Benefits? You sure you don't want to revise that statement?

    You have to be a very special person if you think this is going to happen. Trump has already backed off it.

    They're not eligible for benefits under any of the federal means tested programs such as SNAP/food stamps, SSI or TANF. They could probably get emergency assistance under certain circumstances. There are some other exceptions for example children who entered the country illegally can still receive benefits under the school lunch program. Also undocumented pregnant women and their babies are eligible for assistance under the WIC program although I would assume that prolifers who are concerned with unborn children and babies wouldn't object to their eligibility and their actual numbers are tiny in relation to the size of the federal budget.

    We definitely know what it means it’s the lefts go to card. Just keep it up and see how it works during the mid terms in 2 years.

    As brutal as a plan like this would be to implement, I'd almost like to see it happen. Just to watch the failure, and the Trumpies pretend they weren't for it, just like Republicans after Iraq.

    But it won't happen, obviously. Just Trump conning the rubes.

    You could’ve just said I was right, you were wrong and move on. Didn’t need to explain it out like that.

    If we need people to do work, that's fine but they need to be documented.

    Illegals should be unacceptable to everyone.

    There are currently 6.8 million unemployed in the US. 8 million jobs are open. Can someone please explain the math to me how we would fill 8 million more open jobs created by mass deportation?

    The children, particularly if they are born here as citizens, aren’t really any more of a burden than any other U.S. citizen. If you think they are, please do explain how.

    I find the argument “we have to pay to educate their children!” an incredibly specious argument, you can say the same any time a child is born. The abortion argument is “we need to increase the supply of babies”. The immigration argument is the exact opposite: “those babies are such a burden to the state having to school them”. Any theories as to that disconnect?

    The parents come here poor, the 2nd generation gets schooled and generally sees upward mobility. Hell you can say that for the “dreamers” too even though they are technically undocumented (unlike the so-called anchor baby who is documented and legal). Many of those dreamers are educated and ready to fill jobs. There is no rational reason for disrupting those lives.

    Nobody is against going after gangs, but I doubt that happens. It’s going to be backwards priority for the appearance of toughness. Going after criminal gangs is tough dangerous law enforcement work. Bullies go after the weak and make a show of it.

    Guest worker program for better tracking annual migrant workers and amnesty to dreamers who are ready for middle class jobs.

    Should be obvious, but every time a deal is on the table the nutbars blow it up. They vote economic suicide… for… reasons.

    Link to “backing off”? That doesn’t seem his style.

    Of course the “great roundup” of 10,000,000 isn’t going to happen because it’s logistically impossible. It’s like believing he’d build the wall and China would pay for it - or that he would “drain the swamp” instead of corrupt it.

    I haven’t seen that he’s backed off. I think he’s just going to target random vulnerable groups and make a show of it. Like those Haitian refuges in Ohio (despite actually being legal) or other randoms immigrant hotbeds, and they will surely violate the constitution more readily this time around. The Trump admin managed to “lose” several thousand kids from family separation last time. So this I would expect to be quite a bit worse.

    If it will make you happy, technically you're correct. That being said benefits to illegal immigrants account for a minuscule percentage of the federal budget. They're ineligible for benefits under virtually every major federal program.
