Trump’s vow on illegals: ‘Gone!’

Donald Trump on Wednesday night said the sole path to US citizenship is to enter the country legally — and outlined what amounted to a vast deportation program of millions of illegal immigrants.

“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,” Trump roared during his long-awaited speech in Arizona on immigration policy.

“Anyone who entered the United States illegally is subject to deportation.”

There was speculation ahead of the address that Trump might moderate his views to broaden his appeal.

Instead, he served up a king-sized slab of blood-red prime rib.

The only way for illegal immigrants to live here legally would be to return to their home countries and apply to enter the United States legally, he said.

Trump again vowed to build a wall and make Mexico pay for it, and said his first priorities would be to deport illegals who have criminal records or are on public assistance and to detain any arrested illegals and return them to their home countries.

“We will issue detainers for illegal immigrants arrested for any crime whatsoever,” he said.

“We will begin moving them out Day One, as soon as I take office, in joint operations with local, state and federal law enforcement. You can call it deported if you want,” he said. “You can call it whatever the hell you want. They’re gone.”

The fates of the millions of other illegal aliens who remain in the United States would be decided “in several years,” he added.

He also repeated his promise to suspend the issuance of entry visas for people from countries plagued by terrorism.
