New Trump campaign chief once made case to legalize undocumented immigrants

(CNN)Donald Trump's new campaign manager once made the case to Republicans that the party should embrace a comprehensive immigration bill and legal status for undocumented immigrants -- differing sharply with the GOP candidate's hardline stance on the issue.

Kellyanne Conway, who was named Trump's campaign managerWednesday morning, co-authored a 2014 polling memo for the pro-immigration group FWD.us touting the benefits of a sweeping overhaul bill that would have created a 13-year pathway to citizenship for roughly 11 million undocumented immigrants.
The memo, which was signed by Conway and 15 other GOP pollsters, argued that "most Americans don't believe deportation is a viable policy" and that there is an "overwhelming consensus" for "some kind of legalization" for people in the United States illegally. The pollsters made the case that there is "broad support" for the bill that Trump now strongly opposes but Hillary Clinton supports.
"Supporting this new immigration reform proposal should be good electoral politics for Republicans," the memo said.




The findings differ sharply from Trump's positions, which include a wall built on the border with Mexico, deporting millions of people here illegally and "extreme" vetting of people entering the United States. It also breaks from the reported direction Trump will take his campaign in the final stretch, doubling down on his populist and nationalistic policies and law-and-order message.
Emails to Conway and the Trump campaign were not immediately returned.

The memo highlights the lingering GOP divide over how to approach the hot-button issue of immigration, with the business community strongly backing a comprehensive approach and party activists saying such a sweeping bill would provide "amnesty" to lawbreakers.

But the findings from Conway and the other GOP pollsters said that -- by a 2-to-1 margin -- voters did not believe the comprehensive bill amounted to amnesty.

"Passing immigration reform gives Republicans an opportunity to gain the support of the remaining quarter" of Hispanic voters who are undecided, the polling memo said. "Doing so solves a serious problem in a way that Americans, including Hispanics, overwhelmingly support -- and improves Republicans' standing with swing voters now, in the next presidential election, and for years to come."

American Voters, regardless of "heritage" need to understand the costs and damage of illegal immigration and why illegal aliens already here must be deported, families intact, no child left behind. I can see why a pollster would think it an easier path for Republicans to win elections if we cave in to open borders, globalism and just go with the flow to one world government.

But Republicans aren't going to do that. And I don't believe Americans are going to do that. Republicans led by Trump need to hit this issue as hard as any issue, we must keep our eye on the ball which is to fix our country and solve our problems, not give in to them. Trump is the only candidate with the personality, conviction and courage to do this. It takes educating the public in big ways, and yes, some of the statements needed to bring attention to this issue may not be "politically correct", but we're not interested in that now, what we need and want is the truth and a President Trump who will solve the problem, i. e., build the wall, make Mexico pay for it, deport illegal aliens, families intact as a single unit, no child left behind, do it swiftly within 2 years, enforce the law and pass a few pieces of legislation that a) authorizes states to enforce US immigration law b) end birthright citizenship for children of illegal aliens c) end sanctuary cities d) pass E-verify e) cut off all federal, state/local funding for illegal aliens f) reverse Plyler versus Doe with new legislation and g) expedite deportation processes so that any apprehended illegal alien is processed, has their hearing to verify status and is out of this country along with all illegal alien relatives and minor children even if citizens (no child left behind) within 48 hours.

Solving this problem is requires common sense, intelligence and an unwavering loyalty to the American People.

AMERICA FIRST!!

VOTE FOR DONALD J TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!!
