This is actually quite serious. I believe (speculate?) that the objective here is to lure 10-20% of Hispanic voters into the Republican bloc. They only need a smallish percentage to have a rather significant effect on the overall vote. Will they lose their own base voters with this move to the center? I doubt it. Will it work with Hispanics? I honestly donāt know.
This is where not having a presumptive Democratic nominee hurts.

They get a SS number and work papers?
Sounds like AMNESTY to me. I donāt think the salivating GOP masses voted for amnesty.

So, when one of them there Mexican rapists tries climbing over this wall, do they have to pretend to get zapped or somethingāyou know, when an American guard yells āBang!āāand fall back down on the Mexican side, fists raised, virtually cursing us? I mean, how does this work?

Thank you Josh.
Collins also said that Trumpās controversial plan to deport roughly 3% of the current US population would be a ārhetoricalā exercise rather than a physical deportation.
So he is trying to walk back the crazy on the former, and admitting he was lying to get the troglodytes throwing the feces and getting onboard his brand of crazy-train.
Got it.
āThey go out that door, they go in that room, they get their work papers, Social Security number, then they come in that door, and theyāve got legal work statusā¦"
Yeah, the GOP base will eat that up with a spoon. (wry grin)

Thatās why they had a surrogate float the idea ā makes it easy to pretend that it was a rogue notion by an individual who is not involved in planning Trumpās presidency.

āThey go out that door, they go in that room, they get their work papers, Social Security number, then they come in that door, and theyāve got legal work status but are not citizens of the United States,ā
Wait, isnāt this the corporate, Bush/Rubio approach that caused the Trump revolt in the first place and is equally hated by lefties and Latinos for the opposite reason?

These people really do live in an alternate universeā¦I do question the mental processes of anyone who believes a carnival pitchman with a bad toupee would be fit to sit in the highest political office in this land.

To clarify, is it you who believes that a chunk of Hispanic voters will move to Trump, once they learn that he will cheerfully lie to voters about even a central campaign promise, or do you believe that Trump thinks a chunk of Hispanic voters will find him more attractive if he is revealed as a phony?

Too bad that he thought he was talking to only a handful of New Yorkers from Buffalo when he made these goofy comments. Those kinds of silly descriptions of how immigrants will be treated might sell there, but not in most places where the GOP fully controls local government.
According to Wikipedia, Erie County where Buffalo is situated, has only voted Republican for President once since 1960, and that was in 1972. Even though it looks like local elected officials there are predominantly Republican, a President tRump probably doesnāt go over there very big in the first place. So the guy is just trying to save his own ass with this stupid talk now that heās associated with his campaign.

A gentle reminder to those who actually thought that Trump was really going to build a wall along the Mexican border and deport 11 million people that reality TV isnāt real.
As an aside, on the deportation of 11 million people, Keith Olbermann is alive and well, even if he has to get his stuff published in Britain these days:

I can tell you that here in California trumpās unfavorables are at 83% among Latinos (and Californians overall at 74%). There is nothing thatās going to convince anyone in that 83% that this explanation is nothing more than fairy dust sprinkled over the lies and hatred theyāve heard up until now coming from a guy whoās probably angling for a job in the never going to happen T administrationā¦
@frankly_my_dear The first time I heard the phrase that Texas was too small to be a republic and too big to be an asylum was from Keith though I think the saying was in circulation for a while. Thanks for the link.
@multiverseinhabitant Youāve heard of Carl Paladino, batshit crazy Buffalo pol who ran for governor and got 33% of the vote whoās also on Team trumpf? Thereās something in the Buffalo water evidently.

Collins said he believed two of Trumpās signature campaign proposals would never be carried out.
Collins said he believed the wall Trump promised to build along the US-Mexico border would be more an idea than a physical wall. āI have called it a virtual wall. Maybe we will be building a wall over some aspects of it; I donāt know."
Collins also said that Trumpās controversial plan to deport roughly 3% of the current US population would be a ārhetoricalā exercise rather than a physical deportation.
Guess Iāll need to get a pair of them cardboard VR glasses from Google to see itā¦
