In the same podcast, Thompson said he appreciates what Trump has “done so far” for the US and then went on to show his support for his immigration policies. He said, “In terms of where he stands with [immigration], I think… I’m a firm believer because I have family members, and I have people that are immigrants. I believe for those that do the thing the right way and get the papers, I think they should be taken care of first and foremost.” He believes that Trump’s policy is the “right way” to go about the immigration situation.
