‘deportation force’ to carry out an unprecedented, expensive roundup of undocumented residents at home.” [Washington Post, 11/15/15] • Washington Post: Donald Trump Modeled His Plan For Mass-Deportations On Eisenhower’s, And “Would Require An Enormous Amount Of Money” And “Could Be Bogged Down” In Immigration Courts.” “Trump, of course, says yes — they [undocumented residents] should be deported by force, if necessary. … He wants to model his deportation on an Eisenhower-era program, which was much smaller and ended brutally for some immigrants: they died of heatstroke, by the dozens, when U.S. authorities left them in desert towns in Mexico. Trump’s plan would require an enormous amount of money and law- enforcement manpower — and could be bogged down in the country’s already-overloaded immigration courts. ‘You’re going to have a deportation force,’ Trump said this week.” [Washington Post, 11/15/15] PATH TO CITIZENSHIP Trump Claimed He Wanted A Path To Citizenship For Students Who Attend U.S. Universities. TRUMP: “But the good people I want them to come back. And I also want people of great talent to come to this country, to Silicon Valley for engineers. If you go to Harvard and you graduate number one in your class, and you’re from China, they send you home, you can’t get back into the country. So you end up working for companies in China and fighting us. And they’re competitors of us. They’re trained in our schools. I want people like that to come into this country. And if they want, I want that path to citizenship for these people. So they go to our best schools, they’re fabulous students, they do well, they’re going to be great and we throw them out of the country. It’s ridiculous.” [TIME, 8/20/15] • Trump: “When Foreigners Attend Our Great Colleges & Want To Stay In The U.S., They Should Not Be Thrown Out Of Our Country.” [@realDonaldTrump, Twitter, 8/18/15] BORDER SECURITY TRUMP ADVOCATED BUILDING A “GREAT WALL” ON THE MEXICAN BORDER Trump: “I Will Build The Best Wall, The Biggest, The Strongest, Not Penetrable. They Won’t Be Crawling Over It Like Give It A Little Jump And They Are Over The Wall Because They’re Australians And I’ll Have Mexico Pay For That Wall.” [Donald Trump at Tuscan Kitchen restaurant, 4/27/15] • New York Times: “[Trump] Vowed To Build A ‘Great Wall’ On The Mexican Border To Keep Out Rapists And Other Criminals, Who He Said Were Sneaking Into The United States In Droves.” “Mr. Trump’s policy views can be just as provocative as his demeanor. In the past, he has called climate change ‘a hoax’ and said he has a ‘foolproof’ plan to defeat the Islamic State, which he will not reveal so as not to tip off the group. On Tuesday, he vowed to build a ‘great wall’ on the Mexican border to keep out rapists and other criminals, who he said were sneaking into the United States in droves.” [New York Times, 6/17/15] TRUMP INSISTED HE WOULD MAKE MEXICO PAY FOR THE BORDER WALL, ESTIMATED TO COST $3.5 BILLION Confidential Page 140
