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.
