I agree. If you have a disagreement with information provided you should at least try and make it look like you read it.

Here is the extent of the information in the link at the OP:

Many of the specifics are also sound: E-Verify, visa-tracking, cutting off aid to sanctuary cities, making overstay of a visa a criminal offense, tightening up on H-1B visas, etc.

Also, exactly one week ago today I looked over Trumps entire website looking for his stand on any issues. There were none.

Since then he has put up his stance on immigration. This is linked to in Revmitchell's 2nd post in this thread. I apologize, I did not see that link on my first pass through that thread. All I saw was "Three core principles of Trump's immigration plan" and then the listing of the non-specific principles.

I'll eat crow on this one because I failed to click on the link in Rev's 2nd post.

If you actually read the link provided the answer is right there:





Seriously, where do people on this board get the idea that they somehow deserve this little attitude they give other people with whom they disagree with? What about you makes you deserve your attitude?

I like a couple of Trump's ideas such as cutting off aid to sanctuary cities and building a wall, however Mexico would never pay for it. Also unrealistic is his idea to export all current illegal immigrants. This would be too costly due to their vast numbers. I do not believe he even said how he would pay for such an endeavor. Moreover, most voters don't know it, but each illegal is entitled to a court hearing before such actions can be taken, therefore it would take years upon years to accomplish. It is a nice theory that appeals to many uninformed voters, but when examined with the reality of what it would take money and court wise, it would never happen. Also, appealing birthright citizen ship would take a constitutional amendment., another highly improbable occurrence. The Supreme court has already had two cases regarding birth right citizenship and has ruled in favor of it both times. Unfortunately again, I would bet most voters aren't aware of this. I would rather birthright citizenship not exist as illegals exploit it by coming here illegally for that sole purpose so their child and the family can stay, but it does exist and it is gong to stay. Also, Mr. Trump exaggerates the amount of crime illegal's are responsible for. Yes, there are some who are indeed murders and drug dealers, but I believe I have heard a statistic that the illegal immigrant crime rate is no more than that of current citizens. After watching Trump during the date and listening to numerous interviews with him, I feel most of his ideas are not based in reality or on studying an issue. For example, he said recently he gets most of his foreign policy input from political tv talk shows such as Meet the Press and former UN Ambassador now turned commentator John Bolton. That is a start, but to be serious, he needs his own advisors and study. I like the fact that Trump speaks his mind and does not cater to polls, he also attracts many who probably wouldn't ordinarily vote, but I feel he is doing more harm than good by doing so many attacks against his fellow Republican candidates. If he won the nomination, what has he done that would lead you to believe he could then bring the party together? He has said John McCain isn't a war hero because he was captured, implied Megan Kelly's tough questions to him during the debate were a result of being on her period, was the only one who said he would consider a third party run (this is foolish and selfish as it would almost guarantee the Democrats would win the Whitehouse) and said other ridiculous statements and I predict will continue to do so! I would never vote for him in the primary, but if I am faced between a choice of only him or Hillary in the general election, I will vote for him, but am afraid of what he would do when he would take office.
