TMZ reports that Donald Trump recently said if he’s elected president, he would let undocumented workers who are productive and making positive contributions to the United States’ economy stay, while those just sponging off the system will be deported.
According to TMZ, Trump said he’d create a “system of merit,” to ensure those with illegal status have “a road to legal status” if they work hard and contribute to the country.
Trump citing the unknown figure of illegal immigrants currently in the US to be somewhere between 11 and 30 million says it’s unrealistic and inhumane to attempt to deport all of them. Thus, the merit system would ensure deserving “hardworking people” receive a chance to live the American dream.
