So says Trump. He wants to get rid of immigrants Has come up with a new way - self deportation He has offered a free air ticket and some incentive
How successful that will be is anyone's guess. Trump has forgotten America was built not just by Americans.

President Trump wants to deport immigrants who are in this country illegally, not those who came here the legal and correct way.

The question is will that be done justly Who decides who is legal and who is not ? Also what hopes does Trump have that illegal immigrants will volunteer?

@allknowing It is quite simple. Were you born here? No. Okay, how did you get here? We crossed the border. Bingo, you're illegal.

The Americas (Iam South American) was mostly built by immigrants. My forefathers came from Germany, Spain, Italy, Croatia and Peru as far as I know. That mix could not have happened elsewhere. And I´m proud of it.

May be those who have obtained US citizenship are called Ameircans?

The good thing is that Trump fails at almost everything he tries.

America was inhabited by others before Europeans invaded. All Americans who are not of the indigenous people are migrants. Trump's father from Germany.
Point is, Trump wants to get rid of all Hispanics .. he hates them... and guess what? Many voted for him!

At one point in history, all Americans—except for Native American Indians—were immigrants. The United States was built by people who came from different parts of the world seeking better lives, freedom, and opportunity. If someone insists that all immigrants should leave, then by that logic, they too would have to go, since their ancestors were not originally from the land. The only people who can truly claim to be the original inhabitants of America are the Native American tribes. If fairness and historical truth were the basis, then the land would rightfully belong to them more than anyone else. It’s a reminder that the strength of America lies in its diversity and immigrant roots—not in exclusion.

The question is who decides who is legal and who is not . Records can be messed with.
You are right when you say Native Americans are the real Americans They stand nowhere, sadly

@allknowing That is true; it is indeed challenging to determine who should draw the line and define distinctions between individuals.

Almost all 'Americans' are immigrants or the descendants of immigrants, apart from the Native Americans - and I haven't noticed that Trump is particularly supportive of them. Is Trump going to deport himself? His ancestry is Scots/ German and of course is wife is Slovenian.

Free Air Tickets.
But who in the right mind would want to leave the Land of the Free if they were there legally.
Trumps mother was Scottish.

The queastion here is how correct will the separation be between those legal and illegal
immigrants. Also the moment one gets citizenship they become Americans - some logic

Well the illegals won't have a cause to appeal it.
And those legal who choose the free air ticket want it.
To be fair he has had worse ideas than this
