The president-elect said he now has a mandate to make the country’s border „strong and powerful“ and has „no choice“ but to make good on his promise.
Donald Trump has said there is „no price tag“ for his campaign promise of mass deportations.
The US president-elect said one of his priorities upon taking office in January was to make the US border „strong and powerful“, part of what he said was a mandate „to bring common sense“ to America following his election victory over Kamala Harris.
As a candidate, Mr Trump often said he would begin the „largest deportation effort in American history“.
Speaking to NBC News, Sky’s US partner, he dismissed concerns about the cost of his plan, saying „it’s not a question of a price tag. It’s not – really, we have no choice“.
He also pointed to what he has identified as issues of crime linked to immigration, saying that when people „have killed and murdered, when drug lords have destroyed countries and now they’re going to go back to those countries because they’re not staying here.
