4. I like the part about self-deportation

Then a little while later he talks about automation and decrease in unskilled labor jobs. It's odd that they think self-deportation could happen due to policy, but somehow the main driving force (job availability) will have no effect on this. Instead it will allow them to come here, not work, and jump into the actually non-existent public assistance for them. It's like they don't believe the thing they believe.

This is sound thinking as long as you don't listen to what you just said two minutes ago. It's even funnier when you read about Trumps, and Romney before him using this "illegal" labor pool. All the policies he believes in are things Trump won't do because rich people like him benefit from not having them. The very people they vote for are the very people that hire the people they don't want here. Yet he's going to vote for them anyways and hope it all works out even if it hasn't worked out ever all the times before. Good thinking.
