I have been saying for a long time that, while our current legal immigration system poses intractable problems, illegal immigration is relatively easy to solve: we only need to enforce our existing laws... If the executive branch finally carries out its duty to enforce the immigration laws against employers by sending a few farmers, owners of roofing companies, executives of meat packing plants and hotel managers to prison, the job market for illegal aliens will rapidly disappear. The vast majority will then self-deport, to use Mitt Romney's perfectly appropriate phrase... That sounds so simple: just enforce the laws.
Donald Trump has a well thought-out immigration program, far better than anything Hillary Clinton ever came up with, and it's not mass deportation for every illegal immigrant in the land.

In a year where immigration and terrorism were at the forefront of political discussions, the "hatred of foreigners" has been named the word of the year. It is defined two ways: 1) "fear or hatred of foreigners, people from different cultures or strangers" and 2) "fear or dislike of the customs, dress, etc.
Weed is winning in the polls, with a solid majority of Americans saying marijuana should be legal. But does that mean the federal government will let dozens of state pot experiments play out? Not by a long shot.
The only way to quickly deport 3 million immigrants is to first make them into criminals-and he'll have the tools to do so on day one. William Diaz-Castro is about to become one of thea "criminal illegal immigrants" whom Donald Trump campaigned against for 17 months-and whom, as president-elect, he now plans to deport immediately.
