Giuliani said on CNN’s “State of the Union” that Trump “would find it very, very hard to throw out a family that has been here for 15 years and they have three children, two of whom are citizens”. “We will be in a position to consider the appropriate disposition of those who remain”, Trump said, according to CNN. “What I’m always reminding people is that, although you’ll see bumps.of anti-immigrant sentiment directed at the Irish or Southern Europeans as opposed to Northern Europeans, or the Chinese, or today, Latinos or Muslims – the long-term trend is people get absorbed, people get assimilated”.
