Despite the alienating tone of Donald Trump’s recently released set of immigration reform goals, the celebrity real estate magnate turned presidential candidate is optimistic that ideas, such as building a wall along the southern border and instituting a “Nationwide e-verify” system, will go over well with voters.

As reported earlier by Latin Post, Trump’s "Immigration Reform That Will Make America Great Again" details a polarizing stance on birthright citizenship, as well as immigrants' role in the U.S. economy.

Some of the economic-based strategies Trump proposes for effecting change include cutting federal grants to any city that refuses to cooperate with federal law enforcement, and insisting that people that are applying for entry into to the United States be required to certify that they can pay for their own housing and healthcare before entering the country.

Richard Thornton, one of Trump's Iowa co-chairs, feels that Trump’s immigration ideas makes it harder for Iowa Republicans to get on board with his larger agenda.

“On illegal immigration, he wants to gather up the families and ship them out? That was a boondoggle. The caucusgoers are like, ‘What?’ That was a big mistake,” Thornton explained to the Des Moines Register.

Despite this, Thornton believes that Trump will continue to gain momentum in Iowa, so long as he focuses on the economy and bringing back jobs to the Unites States.

Others on the right are not as charitable to Trump's ideas.

Speaking on "The O'Reilly Factor," Republican presidential candidate Florida Sen. Marco Rubio said he disagrees with Trump’s premise that he will "make America great again," zeroing in on changes that Trump would make to birthright citizenship. 

"I think America is great. You know how I know it's great? You don't have American refugees winding up on the shores of other countries. You actually have people wanting their children born here," Rubio said.

According to the Des Moines Register, Wes Enos, a man who worked on Michele Bachmann's campaign back 2012 and one who knows something about the mercurial rise and fall of popular candidates, says that “eventually Trump will look like old news.”
