No amnesty for illegal immigrants: Trump

Hours after meeting Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto in Mexico City, Trump, articulated a strong and tough immigration policy, which is quite opposite to that of his Democratic rival Hillary 

Clinton, which is based on compassion and providing a pathway to nearly 11 million illegal immigrants.

Constructing a strong wall along its southern border, immediate deportation of criminal aliens, no amnesty for undocumented immigrants, extreme vetting along with ideological certifications for those seeking into the country and a merit-based legal entry system were some of the key parts of the 10-point immigration policy announced by Trump. “Anyone who has entered the US illegally is subject to deportation,” Trump said.

He said any person living in the country illegally who is arrested for any crime whatsoever will immediately be placed into deportation proceedings. “We will break the cycle of amnesty and illegal immigration. There will be no amnesty. Our message to the world will be this: you cannot obtain legal status, or become a citizen of the United States, by illegally entering our country. This declaration alone will help stop the crisis of illegal crossings and illegal overstays,” Trump said.

Asserting that he will reform legal immigration to serve the best interests of America and its workers, Trump said the “time has come for a new immigration commission to develop a new set of reforms to our legal immigration system in order to achieve the goals to keep immigration levels, measured by population share, within historical norms.”
