Trump never said that he would ban all Muslims from the country.  What he said, in the context of Syrian refugees, is that there should be a moritorium placed on Muslim immigrants, until such time we can put in place a system that we can figure out who these people are. This was right after the shootings in California by a Muslim and his Pakistani wife -who we later found out had been radicalized while she was still in Pakistan.

As far as deporting Mexicans and other illegal immigrants, he said that they would be deported and that some quantity of them could come back through a legal process.  We do have a legal immigration process in the U.S.  But it is not as convenient as coming across the border at will, or hiring a coyote to bring you across illegally.  I'm not sure why people do not think this is a good idea.  And I am also not in favor of pregnant Mexican women coming across the border illegally to have their child in the U.S. so they will be a citizen. 

People come here on all kinds of visas, and there is no system in place to track where they are if they stay after their visa expires.   And that is not just Muslims or Mexicans.  And that doesn't seem too smart to me. 

I was living in Northern VA during the building boom, when thousands of illegals came to work in the building trade.  They were mostly Central Americans who worked under the table, did not pay taxes on their earnings and wired the money they made here back to wherever they came from.  They brought with them gang warfare, including the extremely violent El Salvadorian MS-13.  They were not interested in becoming legal. As soon as the building boon collapsed, they put a key in their rental and walked away, and to be frank, a lot of homeowners were glad they did.  Our county Supervisor proposed and was able to put in place a law that the police should check for their green card whenever they were stopped for a violation or arrested for a crime. The Central Americans conducted a rally outside our county building, but you didn't see any non-hispanics there.  But you know what happened?  They were held and turned over to ICE, who promptly released them because ICE did not have enough personnel to handle the work load. Here in AL, I don't see it as big a problem as it is in other areas.  My sister lived 20 miles from the Mexican border in AZ.  She said they came across the desert, leaving trash all over the place, sometimes bodies, and you learn pretty quickly to take a gun with you if you go hiking, because they were known to wait in the rocks and would rob hikers.  So I am not a sympathizer. If they want to come here, let them come legally - and they can still build their busineses and raise their families.  But they will do it legally.
