Donald Trump plans to immediately deport 2 to 3 million undocumented immigrants

US President-elect Donald Trump said he planned to immediately deport two to three million undocumented immigrants who have criminal records after his inauguration next January. What we are going to do is get the people that are criminal and have criminal records, gang members, drug dealers, where a lot of these people, probably 2 million, it could be even 3 million, we are getting them out of our country or we are going to incarcerate, Trump told 60 Minutes correspondent Lesley Stahl, according to a preview of the interview released by CBS. But we’re getting them out of our country. They’re here illegally. Stahl had pressed Trump about his campaign pledge to deport millions and millions of undocumented immigrants. Trump told her that after securing the border, his administration would make a determination on the remaining undocumented immigrants in the country. After the border is secure and after everything gets normalized, we’re going to make a determination on the people that they’re talking about — who are terrific people. They’re terrific people, but we are gonna make a determination at that,” Trump said. “But before we make that determination...it’s very important, we are going to secure our border.” His comments echoed those he had made at the start of his campaign: When Mexico sends its people, theyre not sending their best, Trump had said last June when he announced his candidacy. Theyre not sending you. Theyre not sending you. Theyre sending people that have lots of problems, and theyre bringing those problems with us. Theyre bringing drugs. Theyre bringing crime. Theyre rapists. And some, I assume, are good people. Agencies
