Trump is trying to sound more moderate on immigration, talking about “humane” ways of getting people out of the country. It’s something that’s been policy for years now.

During an interview with Fox News host Bill O’Reilly on Monday night, the candidate struck a dramatically different tone, promising to implement a “humane” immigration policy that’s essentially exactly what the Obama administration is already doing.

Trump told O’Reilly that he would enforce “existing” federal immigration laws, promising to deport “gang members,” “killers,” and “a lot of bad people,” while allowing other people to “go through the process.”

“The first thing we’re gonna do, if and when I win, is we’re gonna get rid of all of the bad ones,” Trump told O’Reilly. “We’ve got gang members, we have killers, we have a lot of bad people that have to get out of this country.”

Trump even praised the president’s current deportation policies. “What people don’t know is that Obama got tremendous numbers of people out of the country, Bush the same thing,” he said. “Lots of people were brought out of the country with the existing laws. Well, I’m gonna do the same thing.”

    Trump, during an interview with his Sycophant-in-Chief, Sean Hannity:
    “There certainly can be a softening because we’re not looking to hurt people.”

    But Donald, you have already told everyone on numerous occasions that these undocumented Hispanics immigrants are a bunch of drug dealers, rapists, and murderers … or at the very least, lazy parasites on American society.

    Why on earth would you not want to harm them?

    Of course it is, but because the Black man is doing it, it is 1000x worse! People liked Romney care and Obama took that idea and use it, all of a sudden, people stop liking it because a Black man was doing it now!

    I don’t see anything humane about mass deportations along with a Mexican wall but I’m concerned it Might be on Obama’s list

      and he’ll forget, like he has, that he said anything positive about President Obama.

    I think we should just be asking pence since he is the one who would really be the President as rump flies around in his plane and talks to groups of morons.
