Donald Trump lays out immigration plan; pledges to end birthright citizenship

WASHINGTON (AP) – Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump wants to 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.

In the first position paper posted to his campaign website, the real estate tycoon and television personality wrote that so-called "birthright citizenship" – the automatic granting of American citizenship to

any child born on U.S. soil – "remains the biggest magnet for illegal immigration. By a 2:1 margin, voters say it’s the wrong policy, including Harry Reid who said 'no sane country' would give automatic

citizenship to the children of illegal immigrants."

Trump pledged to rescind the Obama administration's executive orders on immigration. Trump's position paper also called for tripling the number of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and defunding sanctuary cities.

They don't get an "expedited" return back when there is a "pause" to new immigration which is part of Trump's stated plan. Remember Trump is a negotiator and as such you don't lay all your cards out on the table in such a way as to disclose how you intend to reach your goals.

And the courts won't allow the anchor babies to be deported because under current law they are U.S. citizens and no court will allow you to take that citizenship from them.

"we’re going to try and bring them back rapidly, the good ones. Rapidly. You know the word ‘expedited’?”

You obviously aren't reading the same articles I am. To date I have not seen Trump walk back his comments about expediting or rapidly returning the illegals he considers to be good. I for one would appreciate him coming out with an exact definition of what a "good" illegal is.

I believe you would crucify any other candidate for doing business this way. Are you saying it's okay to say whatever you want without any explanation on how you hope to accomplish your goal? I refuse to buy into such a notion because we've been burned too many times before by those who talk the talk (say what we want to hear) but fail to walk the walk.

Under what current law? There is no current law protecting the citizenship of anchor babies. No law at all, because such a law would be unconstitutional. This is an illegal practice, not a law. Check it out.
