Bolded in his newly released plan on how Donald Trump would solve our country's immigration problems if he becomes president ... Trump proposes ... deporting immigrants convicted of a crime and detaining and deporting immigrants caught crossing the border illegally .... he would kick out most immigrants who are in the country illegally...:

TODD: You'll rescind that one, too? You'll rescind the Dream Act executive order, the DACA?
