Trump: Ben Carson ‘Is Extremely Weak’ on Illegal Immigration; He’s for ‘Amnesty’
STEPHANOPOULOUS: “Let’s talk about some of the policy differences you have with Mr. Carson now that you guys are the top two candidates on the Republican side. On immigration, he says your deportation plan is quote, “not practical” and it could cause collapse of parts of the agricultural sector.”
TRUMP: “Well, it’s totally practical and frankly people can come and — legally come in with work visas and other ways to come and, you know, solve agricultural problems if they have that. But frankly, you know, Ben is extremely weak, as you know, on illegal immigration and you can’t have that now. We have to have a country of borders. We need strength in our country. And you can’t be weak on illegal immigration. Is for amnesty and I’m for a very strong border. If we had strong borders, if we had strong rules and regulations, you might not have had the collapse, which was the big story a couple of days ago, the collapse and the attack of the World Trade Center. So we have very weak rules on immigration and I’m for making them strong and solid, like a country should have. And Ben is very weak on that subject.
STEPHANOPOULOUS: “But he says you still haven’t spelled out how you can actually deport those 11 million undocumented aliens who are in the country right now. Will you do that?”
TRUMP: “Yes and through very good management that will happen, and the people that are really good and outstanding and have had outstanding records will come back in, and they’ll come back in legally. They’re going to come back in legally so we have a country. And the bad ones, and you know there are many bad — you have — I have been so right on that subject, and I think it’s one of the reasons I’m leading in virtually every national poll and most, almost every state poll, frankly, including by the way some in Iowa. But it’s one of the reasons is illegal immigration. They’ll come in legally. The ones that are bad — and we have some real bad ones in this country — they’re going to get out so fast your head will spin.”
