Is Donald Trump correct about immigration?

First, President Obama has stated there will be no Undocumented with a criminal record permitted to stay in the USA.

Is there a problem with any of the Undocumented? You ready for this? Sure there is, but, this is not the issue with the 5 million the President is talking about. The people that really don't belong here, are career criminals and from crime families.

From the Daily Beast:

Mass arrests in Los Angeles (click here) highlight the huge gang operation running sections of the city but putting these people in prison could make it even worse.
The indictment of 38 members of Los Angeles street gang Big Hazard once again puts the national spotlight on the Mexican Mafia, a treacherous and violent criminal organization also known as La Eme that has deep roots inside California’s prison system. Federal officials spent Wednesday arresting members of the Boyle Heights-based street gang which has strong ties to La Eme. The 800 law enforcement personnel that conducted the raids considered it a “day of accountability” for the gang that has been active since the early 1940s.

The Hazard gang is a multi-generational gang based in the East Los Angeles area....

These are entrenched problems that have evolved over time. This is not the average person crossing the border. The people in this article are facing prison with at least life sentences. They are extremely dangerous people and in some ways they reflect the exact problem Mexico has that is never resolved. If it can't be resolved in the USA how is another country such as Mexico or Central America going to stop this?

What is Donald Trump's policy to end the gangs? 

There are other examples and there is no sense in going there. The people discussed by the political right wing in the USA, as exampled by Donald Trump, are not the people that will remain in the USA with a path to citizenship.  

So, is Donald Trump correct about immigration as it exists with the President's Executive Order? No.
