This Is What Donald Trump Will Do To About Immigration If Elected by omoharry(f): 5:00pm On Aug 18, 2015
Calling it “Immigration Reform That Will Make America Great Again,” the New York business entrepreneur laid out his three core principles. Those being:

1. A nation without borders is not a nation. There must be a wall across the southern border.

2. A nation without laws is not a nation. Laws passed in accordance with our Constitutional system of government must be enforced.

3. A nation that does not serve its own citizens is not a nation. Any immigration plan must improve jobs, wages and security for all Americans.

Trump’s plan would deny citizenship to the babies of immigrants living in the U.S. illegally as part of an immigration plan that emphasizes border security and deportation for millions.

Trump described his expanded vision of how to secure American borders during a wide-ranging interview Sunday on NBC’s “Meet The Press,” saying that he would push to end the constitutionally protected citizenship rights of children of any family living illegally inside the U.S.

“They have to go,” Trump said, adding: “What they’re doing, they’re having a baby. And then all of a sudden, nobody knows … the baby’s here.”

Native-born children of immigrants — even those living illegally in the U.S. — have been automatically considered American citizens since the adoption of the 14th Amendment of the Constitution in 1868.

The odds of repealing the amendment’s citizenship clause would be steep, requiring the votes of two-thirds of both houses of Congress and support from three-fourths of the nation’s state legislatures. Republicans in Congress have repeatedly failed since 2011 to pass bills aimed at ending “birthright citizenship.” Some conservatives believe that the granting of citizenship in such cases could be changed without amending the Constitution.

“They’re illegal,” Trump said, describing native-born children of people living illegally in the U.S. “You either have a country or not.”

Trump said he would also rescind Obama administration executive orders on immigration.

Trump’s plan details how he would have Mexico pay for a wall, citing first the ill economic effects and criminal activity that illegal immigration has contributed to in America, while saying that Mexico has profited from the current system.

“The costs for the United States have been extraordinary: U.S. taxpayers have been asked to pick up hundreds of billions in healthcare costs, housing costs, education costs, welfare costs, etc. Indeed, the annual cost of free tax credits alone paid to illegal immigrants quadrupled to $4.2 billion in 2011. The effects on jobseekers have also been disastrous, and black Americans have been particularly harmed,” his position statement read.

“In short, the Mexican government has taken the United States to the cleaners. They are responsible for this problem, and they must help pay to clean it up,” his statement continued.

Until Mexico pays for a wall, Trump’s plan would “impound all remittance payments derived from illegal wages; increase fees on all temporary visas issued to Mexican CEOs and diplomats (and if necessary cancel them); increase fees on all border crossing cards – of which we issue about 1 million to Mexican nationals each year (a major source of visa overstays); increase fees on all NAFTA worker visas from Mexico (another major source of overstays); and increase fees at ports of entry to the United States from Mexico [Tariffs and foreign aid cuts are also options].”

Here are a few other key points from Trump’s position statement. He said he would:

Triple the number of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, funded by “eliminating tax credit payments to illegal immigrants.”
Institute an e-verify system for legal employment. He also said he would require immigrants to prove they could pay for their own housing, health care and more to end abuse of the welfare system.
End catch-and-release, instead detaining illegal immigrants until they are deported.
Cut off federal funding to cities who refuse to comply with these immigration rules.
Trump’s plan also detailed how he would require businesses to hire from the pool of unemployed Americans before issuing H-1B visas.

“Petitions for workers should be mailed to the unemployment office, not [United States Citizenship and Immigration Services,]” he wrote.

His policy was endorsed by Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) who chairs a Senate subcommittee on immigration.

“This is exactly the plan America needs,” Sessions said in a statement. “Crucially, this plan includes an emphasis on lifting struggling minority communities, including our immigrant communities, out of poverty, by preventing corporations from bringing in new workers from overseas to replace them and drive down wages.”
