trump says he's responsible for a plan by the obama administration to step-up deportations beginning next month. trump says the move only came after his comments on the campaign trail to deport the estimated 11- million undocumented immigrants in the u-s. the nationwide raids will reportedly focus on hundreds of families that have entered the united states since 2014. the plan was quickly condemned by democratic presidential candidates. deborah: it's rare for big donors and politicians to talk about their relationship... or more importantly, what that money brings them. reporter chris frates has more on a patron in the republican party who's given millions to politicians.

republican donor) "i think he's the champion of little presidential." dollars a month. friess won't say how much he'll give this campaign season. but explained why he donates . (foster friess/ republican donor) "i get a sense of continuing the process that created my success." freiss prefers to give to super pacs, much cash as he's instead of giving directly to campaigns, where the limit is $5400. (foster friess/ republican donor) "when the super pac came along i realized that i could just write a check. it's a lot more effortless and it does seem to work." santorum doesn't believe that friess is trying to buy influence.

henry barbour/ republican fund- raiser "there are a lot more people that are giving because they believe in something. they far outnumber the people who give for access. yet the people who give for access give much larger dollars." according to a non- partisan watchdog, so far this election cycle, super pacs have raised $315 million and spent almost $100 million -- much of it on ads. but those ads still leave republican candidates far behind the front runner-- who hasn't spent a dime on television advertising. ( donald trump/ (r) presidential candidate) "super pacs are a disaster. they're a scam. they cause dishonesty. and you better get rid of them because they are causing a lot of bad decisions to be made by some very good people. and i'm not blaming these folks -- but, i guess i could." some experts say big check-writers are driven by a mix of business and ego. ( lawrence noble/ campaign legal cntr. general counsel) "they're giving to people who they think will support what they want. and they're giving to people that they know will answer their phone calls if they win. and they know will give them access and listen very carefully to what they want on a
