Donald Trump outlines immigration specifics as he bids to become the next President of the United States.
America's Republican Presidential hopeful, Donald Trump said Sunday he would overturn a law that grants citizenship to people born in the U.S and put stricter limits on legal immigration, offering his most detailed account yet of how he would handle a policy issue that has become a cornerstone of his campaign.
Trump, who has repeatedly been pressed for specifics on his immigration plan since the issue rocketed him to the top of the polls, also explained for the first time how he will force Mexico to pay for a wall on its border with the U.S. in his nearly 1,900-word policy paper.
The proposal could help Trump swat away naysayers who charge that he is not a serious candidate. It also gives Trump an opportunity to burnish his conservative credentials, particularly as he is coming under more heavy fire from conservative influencers.
Trump took a shot at his Republican opponent Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, slamming what he calls the "Schumer-Rubio" comprehensive immigration bill, which passed the Senate in 2013 and later died in the House, as "nothing more than a giveaway to the corporate patrons who run both parties."
Trump's immigration plan is based on three core principles: that the U.S must build a wall across the U.S -Mexico border, that immigration laws must be fully enforced and that "any immigration plan must improve jobs, wages and security for all Americans."
