Trump just admitted his entire immigration posture is a big scam

Asked directly by O’Reilly whether he is “really rethinking your mass deportation strategy,” Trump replied: “I just want to follow the law. What I’m doing is following the law….We’re going to obey the existing laws.” Trump added:


“The first thing we’re gonna do, if and when I win, is we’re gonna get rid of all the bad ones. We have gang members, we have killers, we have a lot of bad people that have to get out of this country…they’re gonna be out of this country so fast your head will spin. We have existing laws that allow you to do that. As far as everybody else, we’re going to go through the process. What people don’t know is that Obama got tremendous numbers of people out of the country. Bush, the same thing. Lots of people were brought out of the country with the existing laws. Well, I’m going to do the same thing.”

It would appear the wingnuts haven't caught on that Trump's immigration plan is to continue President Obama's immigration plan. Give them time.

1. More damning, he's conceded "if and when I win" . . .

Never heard a politician cast doubt on his own campaign, at least not this far out.

4. wow those 3 little words. "If and when" are huge. He sees the writing on the wall. nt

2. Obama became "the Deporter-in-Chief" in pursuit of...

immigration reform. Here is the border enforcement the Republicans asked for.

And now no Republican will acknowledge the facts.

They cannot concede one single damn thing to Obama, even when he bends over backwards to negotiate and compromise.

3. They correctly believe that he is lying about this softer position.

Trump's insane base WANTS him to lie about this so that moderate Republicans will feel ok voting for him.

Meanwhile, TRumps insane base already knows that he will set up internment camps and deport 11+ million immigrants.

The "wingnuts" see Trump's lies here as a virture, not a vice. They know he is lying to get more votes to support their cause.

He told them the truth in the primary ... now he has to lie to everyone else to get more votes ... and the winguts are perfectly ok with that.

5. His whole candidacy is a scam.

7. Or he'll do nothing. Or he could create a reality show on rounding up undocumented workers..

No, that would only prove how human they are and conservatives are in the game of de-humanizing the undocumented.
