This is in response to the question (which they dodge) about Deportation Squads.
The question that no one is asking Ephsteyn, or any of the other hired goons, is HOW they propose to round up those "illegal aliens who are criminals" ? Surely that implies Deportation squads ??? They're hardly going to hand themselves in, seeing as they would never be able to return to the US if caught.

So... while it might sound softer... do not be deceived. If tRump is elected, he can still start rounding up all people here WITHOUT documentation and deport them... and, if his previous promises are true, he will do it "humanely" by deporting any children born here as well (no splitting up families!).

I am not sure the Trump campaign (en masse) understands the difference.
It's a big difference. It goes right to the bigger point I believe you're making: they really think they can just round people up.
