Barack Obama was a radical, in regards to illegal immigrants. He released 80,000 criminal aliens back into the United States, rather than deporting them.

All the Trump administration is saying is “we want to enforce the laws that now exist,” when it comes to illegal immigrants. Is there anybody that’s in favor of what Obama did for criminals?

But what about the people who have come to this country, raised families and contributed to their community. And the only law they have broken is coming to this country illegally.

Here’s what I think should be done about illegal immigrants:

• If we’re going to let you stay, you’ll never vote. The first two generations will not be allowed to vote, either.
• You’ll be assessed a back tax for work you did that wasn’t on the books.

I believe this is humane. It’s impossible to deport 11 million people anyway. But we do need to deport the criminal aliens. That can’t be controversial.

Trump says he has a big heart. That doesn’t matter. There has got to be a legislative process that lays down the rules and we need to stick by them.

As always, please listen to the full audio clip for complete context.
