Trump’s Immigration Plan

…Where is Trump's Heart? ...
Trump’s immigration plan is both heartless and stupid. I won't dwell on the stupid parts, like getting Mexico to pay for building a wall that can be easily crossed by ladders, but instead focus on the lack of compassion (also with plenty of stupidity) in his “family plan” for deporting immigrants.
He wants to send 11 (perhaps as many as 20) million illegal immigrants and their children, some citizens, home. So he plans to round these people and their children, some who have been here for decades, and ship them home. Trump says screw being a U.S. citizen by laws that have stood for more than a hundred years and guaranteed by the 14th Amendment and court rulings such as United States v. Wong Kim Ark (1898) … he is in effect proposing to break the law. But, let’s say he is successful in breaking the law or changing the 14th Amendment (really?)
Imagine the harm done to a 10 year child, who only speaks English, who has been here is whole life being ripped out of his house and dumped with his parents without money or means to make a living in the middle of Mexico. Where is the compassion in anyone who would do that do a ten year old kid, or his parents for that matter. Is America becoming so heartless that it will support a person with such a plan?
So where is the compassion in the Trump plan?
