馃毃 MIKE LINDELL RESPONDS TO WHAT HE CALLS FALSE "AMNESTY" CLAIMS: "I STAND WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP."
A month-old clip is circulating on social media claiming @realMikeLindell supports "six months of amnesty." Lindell says the clip strips away the context of a broader discussion about federal immigration policy and proposals to address an existing problem.
"As always, I stand with President Trump and all of his policies deporting all illegal aliens from this country."
Lindell said immigration law is "a complex mess" and acknowledged he is not an immigration expert, explaining that he was speaking off the cuff about temporary worker visas and possible federal solutions - not advocating amnesty.
He emphasized that any ideas he discussed would have to be handled at the federal level, adding:
"It's not a pathway to citizenship. It was a suggestion... 'Hey, we could do this.'"
Lindell said his proposal centered on fingerprinting and documenting people already in the country so authorities know who and where they are.
Lindell also argued that the renewed attention on the old interview came after President Trump endorsed his campaign, saying critics took clips out of context to falsely portray him as supporting amnesty.
"I do not support amnesty. I have President Trump's back."
