Trump has made it clear that if he is president, he will build a wall between the US and Mexico (and Mexico's going to pay for, too). Trump took his immigration plan one step further by proposing a plan to deport the 11 million undocumented immigrants currently living in America — which most experts agree is not only impossible based on historical precedent, but also unconstitutional. Trump would also end birthright citizenship — meaning the children of undocumented immigrants who are born in the US would no longer be citizens; this policy would require a constitutional amendment since all those born on American soil are considered citizens.
Clinton's positions could not be more opposite to Trump's. She supports President Barack Obama's proposed deportation relief under the DREAM act, and she would expand upon it by creating pathways for undocumented immigrants to become citizens. The goal of Clinton's immigration reform is to keep families together regardless of legal status and she has also vowed to close private detention centers.
