Could be real could be BS.

Yeah, but suppose it's real....

Exactly.  Did everyone forget or was 'Selective Listening" on so loudly that all Trumpers heard was "The Wall!" and didn't give a crap about anything else he might have said.

The dirty little not-so-secret is his proposals were always in line with that, he just framed it differently. Other than hyperbole about the wall, which it seems implementation is just the existing Secure Fence Act, he has always been vocal about supporting various components like the DREAM act and touchback amnesty.

Amnesty for illegals already here I believe... or at least a "pathway to citizenship".


Amnesty.

2008 comprehensive immigration reform act.


A citizenship path for illegal aliens already in the United States is contingent on certain border security and visa tracking improvements.

Permanent residence for illegal aliens only after legal immigrants waiting for a current priority date receive their permanent residence status and a different citizenship path for agricultural workers through an agricultural worker program.

Business immigration system reforms, focusing on reducing current visa backlogs and fast tracking permanent residence for U.S. university immigrant graduates with advanced degrees in science, technology, engineering or math also known as the STEM fields.

An expanded and improved employment verification system for all employers to confirm employee work authorization.

Improved work visa options for low-skilled workers including an agricultural worker program.

The policies envisioned by the Senators include the following provisions:[5]


A citizenship path for illegal aliens already in the United States is contingent on certain border security and visa tracking improvements. The plan provides for permanent residence for illegal aliens only after legal immigrants waiting for a current priority date receive their permanent residence status and a different citizenship path for agricultural workers through an agricultural worker program.

Yes he was, no argument.

When it became Clinton vs Trump amnesty was preordained.

How dare you bring up what Trump said during the campaign.

"President Trump told a bipartisan group of senators during a private White House meeting Thursday that he would consider backing an immigration bill like the one that the Senate passed in 2013 that provides a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants already living in the United States.

A spokesman for Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., who attended the Thursday afternoon meeting with Trump, confirmed that the president said he was open to a comprehensive immigration bill like the one the gang of eight senators wrote and passed through the Senate in 2013. The bill died in the House when it met stiff resistance from conservative Republicans."

I remember those days, when anti-immigration posts would get zotted. It would be very amusing if he completed the 360 back there.

Someone just posted about Civil Asset Forfeiture as well. It should be funny to see where that goes.
