Donald Trump will keep his vow to deport millions of
undocumented migrants from the United States, he said in an interview to be
broadcast Sunday, saying as many as three million could be removed after he
takes office.
“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,” Trump said in an
excerpt released ahead of broadcast by CBS’s 60 Minutes program.
The billionaire real estate baron made security at the
US-Mexico border a central plank of his insurgent presidential campaign, which
resulted in last Tuesday’s shock election victory against his Democratic rival
Hillary Clinton.
Trump added that the barrier to be erected on the US border
with Mexico may not consist entirely of brick and mortar, but that fencing
could be used in some areas.
“There could be some fencing,” Trump says in his first
primetime interview since being elected president last week.
“But (for) certain areas, a wall is more appropriate. I’m
very good at this, it’s called construction,” he tells CBS.
