Trump to deport 'two to three MILLION illegal immigrants' AND build Mexico wall

DONALD Trump has vowed to immediately deport two to three million undocumented immigrants and promised to build a wall on the Mexican border when he become president.

The President-elect said he would imprison or send criminals, drug dealers, gang members or those with a criminal record out of the country.

He said after that the border would be made "secure" and he could then decide about the rest of the undocumented immigrants.

His comments are the first firm policy decisions he has spoken about since winning the election against Hillary Clinton on Tuesday.

In an interview with CBS' 60 minutes programme, he said: “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 two million, it could be even three million, we are getting them out of our country or we are going to incarcerate.

“But we’re getting them out of our country, they’re here illegally.

“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.

“But before we make that determination it’s very important, we are going to secure our border.”

Protests entered their fourth night across the US on Saturday

Much of the billionaire businessman's campaign focused around building a wall in between the US and Mexico to keep "rapists", crime and drugs out of the country.

Since being elected he has remained unclear about whether he would actually go ahead with the plan.

However, today he confirmed he would when he answered "yes" to whether he really plans to build the wall.

Mr Trump said the Mexicans would pay for the wall, but since Tuesday night the Mexican government has publicly reminded him they will not be paying for the wall.

His transition co-chair, Newt Gingrich, said the wall was "a great campaign device".

The President-elect also said the border wall could be part wall and "some fencing", in line with what congressional Republicans have proposed.
