Mike Pence Quotes
Let's be very clear first off. Nothing has changed about Donald Trump's position on dealing with illegal immigration.
Pence, Mike. Interview with Jake Tapper. State of the Union, CNN, 28 Aug. 2016.
He introduced his bill that would provide Amnesty for many undocumented immigrants--oven called "illegal aliens". He started the "Dreamers"-the 2 million children who were brought to America at very young ages by parents who did not enter legally. They have grown up in America and it is the only home they have ever known. Many do not even speak or are not literate in the language of their birth country and their only roots and allegiances are to the United States. There was a very loud and passionae minority of South Carolina voters who wanted these children to be departed to countries most have no memories or knowledge of--to punsh them for the "sins" of their parents.
The quote is often misreported as “I am, you know, adamantly against illegal illegal immigration."
