Trump interview with Bret Baier, Trump starts off calling him "Brad", which gave me a chuckle.
Bret: THis whole issue of deportation has really become a central focus over the last few days. You had Hillary Clinton jump on this right away, tweet out "The idea of tracking down and deporting 11 million people is absurd, inhumane and un-American. No, Trump" You told Bill O'Reilly last night that the deportation you favor would be quote "very humane". So what, specifically, do you have in mind there?
Trump: Well, first of all it's not only deportation. It's building a wall, and I mean a real wall. Mexico will pay for the wall. Most politicians wouldn't understand how you'd go about doing that. It'll happen. It's basically quite simple, but it's going to be done in a very humane fashion. People will have to go out if they are illegal immigrants. They came in illegally. They have to go out and they have to come back legally. Bret, there will be a deportation and hopefully they'll be able to come back in to the country and that'll be fine.
Bret: You concede it will be logistically very difficult and very expensive.
Trump: Not if it's managed properly.
Trump further talks about expense of illegals in the country and says that the other candidates won't be able to take care of illegal immigration because they're not competent people.

Bret: Let me ask you about something else you said. Back in 2012 you criticized Mitt Romney's proposed self-deportation because you said it was crazy and too mean spirited. So, is self-deportation really crazy and too mean spirited when compared to deportation?
Trump: No, I said it was crazy because it doesn't work. He was talking about people are going to just walk out of the country.
Bret: [interrupts] But mean spirited?
Trump: [talking over the interruption] I never said that. I said. I criticized it because it's something that doesn't work. Yeah, it's mean spirited. It's mean spirited because it just doesn't work at all, Bret. This would never have worked. Look, I want people to go out and to have to come in through the legal process.
Bret: If Mitt Romney was mean spirited by what he said in the campaign of 2012 you're saying things have changed since then and what you're proposing is not mean spirited?
Trump: No, I don't think it's mean spirited. Mine is not mean spirited. Mine is, it's business. [Continues...]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvAMRUEUrE0So here is Trump saying that Romney's e-verify/self deportation plan would never work and I'm supposed to believe... well hell, between Trump and his supporters here I don't know what I'm supposed to believe. Trump's website says nothing about deporting the illegals that are here except for the ones that are "criminals". Trump supporters want me to believe that Trump's e-verify plan on his website is going to result in self-deportation. In this interview Trump is absolutely talking about deporting and says e-verify/self deportation doesn't work. And now he has no plans for mass deportations, which per his website he didn't have plans for in the first place.
Good news everyone, we're all right. Bad news everyone, we're all wrong. This is how it is with Trump and his supporters on every damn issue; "Make America confused again!"
