Title: Donald Trump suggests 'merit system' for undocumented immigrants

TRENTON — Donald Trump, who has drawn fire for making incendiary comments about immigration as he vies for the Republican nomination for president, seemed to take a more measured approach on the issue during a television interview Friday.

Trump also said during his appearance on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that the Republican party is now treating him "nice" after recent comments that the GOP has jilted him, leading him to more strongly consider running a third-party candidate instead.

And the outspoken real estate mogul suggested that it's possible his sudden rise in the crowded Republican race could end because people might "get tired" of him.

Trump spoke via phone a day after he visited Laredo, Texas, to tour the U.S.-Mexico border. The trip grabbed headlines because of comments the businessman made earlier in the race saying that "rapists" and "killers" were entering the U.S. illegally from Mexico.

During Friday's interview, Trump said the U.S. should take a two-step approach to the 11 million undocumented immigrants already living in the U.S.

"Well, the first thing we do is take the bad ones — of which there are, unfortunately, quite a few," said Trump, who owns three New Jersey golf courses and once owned three Atlantic City casinos. "We take the bad ones and get 'em the hell out. We get 'em out.

"We give 'em back to Mexico, or we make sure they stay — or where they come from. Because they don't all come from Mexico. They come from other places. They use that border but they come from other places. We get 'em out and get 'em out fast. And we get 'em out permanently. That's a big thing."

But he said the country should take a different approach with "the other ones" — i.e., undocumented immigrants who are already in the country who have "done a good job."

"I'm a very big believer in merit system," Trump said. "I have to tell you ... some of these people have been here, they've done a good job. You know, in some cases, sadly, they've been living under the shadows, etc., etc. We have to do something. So whether it's merit or whether it's whatever, but I'm a believer in the merit system. If somebody's been outstanding, we try and work something out.

"But before we do anything, we have to secure the border because the border is like having no border," he added.

Trump has led his 15 Republican presidential rivals in many recent polls, but he has faced criticism from some opponents for running a confrontational campaign not worthy of the White House. The Republican National Committee also criticized him in the wake of comments he made mocking U.S. Sen. John McCain's war record.

The businessman told The Hill, a Washington newspaper, that he would be more likely to run as a third-party contender if the party didn't treat him better — a move that experts say could siphon off Republican voters and severely hurt the GOP's chances of regaining the presidency.

But Trump said Friday that the RNC has been "very, very nice" over the last few days.

"They see what's happening," he said. "They've reached out, they have talked to me, they have talked to my people.

Trump stressed once again that he is a "conservative" and wants to run as a Republican.

"The best way to win is to win as a Republican," he said. "I do not want to do independent at all. If I'm treated well and with great respect and don't win, I would not do that."

U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, a fellow GOP presidential candidate who has been sharply critical of Trump's campaign, said he does not expect Trump to win the party's nod.

"Donald Trump's not going to be the nominee of the Republican party," Rubio said during an interview with CBS News. ""These polls, at this point, basically are measuring who people are hearing about on the news, and Donald Trump is benefiting from that."

Asked on "Morning Joe" what would prevent him from becoming the nominee, Trump said: "I don't know. You know, I'm just chugging along. I mean, maybe people will get tired of me — who knows?"

"I mean, this press is crazy," he continued. "When they interview other candidates, they only ask([them) Trump questions, so I don't know — maybe people get burned out. I don't know what could happen. But you know, look: I have a good background, I've been doing this for a long time. I've been in politics for a long time on the other side of the table."

Still, Trump did complain that "Morning Joe" is not covering him enough.

"Well, I'm leading in all of the polls by a lot," he said. "But I was listening to you talking about (Jeb) Bush and Rubio and a couple of others, and you sort of forgot to mention my name, even though I'm creaming them in the polls."

"Donald, what are you talking about?" Scarborough said. "How thin is your skin? I've been talking about you for a week."

"When you were talking about Bush, who, by the way, is about 10 points lower than me, you mentioned, 'Can (John) Kasich beat Bush?' Well, excuse me, but, what about Trump?" Trump said.

"You aren't really that thin-skinned, are you?" Scarborough asked.

"Yes, I am thin-skinned!" Trump insisted.


To all you Trump lovers.... snicker.

Yeah,a thin-skinned president with an ego the size of the universe is exactly what we need with his finger on the nuclear button,right?

Not that there is any serious danger of him being elected. He's just puffing up his ego and will bow out once his popularity starts to drop and somebody hands him a bucket of money to quit.

That's right. We want these people.

So, what we do is send them back to their home country where they go to the back of the line and apply for a visa like everyone else. When their name comes up, we'll expedite their paperwork.

If an illegal alien hands The Donald the right golf club, they have "merit" and get amnesty.

He hasn't figured out yet that once they become legal, he'll have to pay them minimum wage. Most likely he'll just fire them, and hire illegal aliens again.

A good caddie is hard to find... and you're just making shit up again because you are disgruntled that your Commie Sanders will die of old age before he ever reaches 8% in the polls.

Hondo is a socialist, his future vision has everyone making the same yearly wage... so there won't be any of those pesky RICH people he calls "elites"... and there won't be a need for bottom feeder jobs for the more ignorant, less productive, less driven, pot head types.

That's like Charlie Manson saying he hates to see good inmates paroled... you know, "good" as in ones he can relate to.
