here is the link describing trump's shift 

i'm make our minimum wage correspond ot the illegal immigrants maximum wage. 

id raise the minimum wage to 12.50. i think we're at the state of it being humane to have the minimum earn a hundred bucks for an eight hour day. the maximum minimum after inflation historically is about 15 and the average minimum historically after inflation is about 12.50. i wouldn't vote against 15, but even walmart only pays 14 minimum and if we put pressure on a place like walmart, that will surely cause unnecessary inflation. so under 15 and under walmart and historically average is best. plus a low minimum wage is bad for the economy since this is a demand and consumer economy that we live in. 

we dont deport them. we give them visitor worker status privileges and deport them if they slip up as criminals. we give a two year window for them to voluntarily sign up for visitor status. 

the visitor workers can receive room and board and medical provisions from the employers who can take care of them. the free market can shift the supply of illegal visitors around the country where they'd be most helpful 

we then start implementing a necessity that businesses use E verify that immigrants be legal before working.  visitior's granted legal status would pass e verify. e verify isn't usually used or the use isn't enoforced, even though this would greatly dissuade illegals from coming.  long run, this will hopefully help the economy where immigrant labor is vital, while eventually shifting to only usa workers are permitted to work. 

a wall or fence probably isn't necessary but can be considered in the future. the wall would help stop drugs, but i'm skeptical how much it would help. it would help stop illegals from coming and stealing jobs and breaking the law by being here but i'm not sure it's necessary. 

most ilegals are no more prone to crime than most usa citizens, and the overall flow of immigrants doesn't constantly go up, it just fluctuates. so it's not critical that we stop the flow, but we can if needed as it's still important to enforce the law and focus on our own citizens, so e verify and a possible fence might be needed some day but not yet. 

the viisitor workers get no constitutional rights and can't vote. personally id stop birth right citizenship but that's not completely necessary, perhaps it's not a big deal for children born here to become citizens. 

im aware that some would call this cruel and treating them like second class citizens or even slaves, but they broke the law in coming here, so it is what it is.

It 'sounds a bit like servitude, a class system, slavery by circumstance,
Which I suppose one 'could argue is better than nothing,
But 'something about it rubs me the wrong way.

I don't 'like our society depending on a class of poor people,
Though admittedly such can be hard to 'avoid, given that businesses often use poor labor 'outside of America,
But I don't think normalizing it or 'increasing where it occurs to be good.
