Yesterday on 60 minutes President-Elect Trump announced certain aspects of his plan in respect to Immigration, more specifically Illegal immigration. Trump said that he hopes to deport roughly 2-3 million undocumented immigrants. These people would be ones who have criminal records or gang affiliations. He then stated that after the border is secure and those undocumented with criminal records are deported, he will then decide on the cases of other undocumented immigrants.
While illegal immigration was one of the main issues he was driving this election, it appears as if Donald Trump is appearing to attempt to be more realistic about the situation. While he spoke about mass deportation and building a wall on the southern border on the campaign trail, even the most Conservative politicians and pundits would agree that this would be a lofty task. How efficient and costly would it be to deport roughly 11 million people (maybe more). As President Obama stated today, Trump is more a pragmatist rather than a ideologue. He is not necessarily tied to an ideology or a set of principles. I hope this may make him seem more reasonable and diplomatic than he showed in the election.
