Q&A: What does Trump mean when he says he will deport ‘criminal’ immigrants first?

LA Times  

During a week of ping-ponging immigration stances, Donald Trump appears to be shifting his position from one which initially called for the deportation of all 11 million people here illegally to one that would focus on “criminal” immigrants. On his first day in office, Trump said, he plans to sign orders to speed up the removal of “criminal illegal immigrants” from the U.S. “These international gangs of thugs and drug cartels will be — I promise you, from the first day in office, the first thing I’m going to do, the first piece of paper that I’m going to sign is — we’re going to get rid of these people, Day 1, before the wall, before anything,” Trump said during a speech at the Iowa State Fairgrounds on Saturday. Trump hasn’t said what specific policy changes would help immigration agents find convicted criminals and speed up their deportation. Melman thinks that such an approach, despite being disruptive to families already living in the U.S., would deter future immigrants from coming to the U.S. brian.bennett@latimes.com Follow me @ByBrianBennett on Twitter ALSO In one Texas congressional race, there’s a third candidate — and his name is Trump Donald Trump’s new ad echoes John Edwards’ campaigns Trump has called Anthony Weiner a ‘sleazeball and pervert.’ Turns out he’s also given to his campaigns.
