That appears to be what Trump is really saying, but he's forgetting something: If everyone did that, the United States would become the land of Native Americans once again.
This country would empty itself of people, except for those who were here when Europeans started showing up.
Clearly, what Trump is really saying is: "If your skin is brown, get out of town."

Call 23 and ME and find out where you came from and get the fuck out. Start with Mitch. Once we get down to only having people that know how to act in public, then we can quit.
