Donald Trump on 60 Minutes.
Within minutes of his comments CBS released an excerpt from its interview with Trump, however, in which he made clear that the mass deportations will be going ahead.
Donald Trump’s big, handsome wall may not be as big and attractive as he promised.
A Trump nominee to the Supreme Court also could do the job for him.
During the election campaign, Trump had warned that he would stop issuing visas to citizens of countries which do not accept these illegal immigrants.
Responding to questions from reporters on the Hill, the president-elect declined to answer whether he will ask Congress to legislate on a campaign policy proposal to ban Muslims from entering the U.S. homeland. That’s what I do.
“You have to put a wall, it could be all virtual with the UAV airplanes as well, but I think that is doable and one of the first things that needs to be done”, McCarthy said, referring to unmanned aerial vehicles, or drones. And we’re not going to have, like, a two-day period and we’re not going to have a two-year period where there’s nothing. We have to do it.”I will ask Congress to convene a special session so we can repeal and replace”, he added”. You can’t just appoint novices, you have to have people who know what they’re doing. “And it will be great health care for much less money”.
He said he planned to deport or jail up to three million undocumented migrants with criminal records, such as gang members and drug dealers.
The billionaire property mogul expanded on his controversial pledge to deport millions of migrants now living in the U.S. without proper paperwork, saying the first to go would be those with criminal records.
The billionaire businessman said that once the border is secured, immigration officials will “make a determination” about remaining undocumented immigrants in the country.
“We are not planning on erecting a deportation force”, Ryan said. It’s very important we secure our border’.
As Scott Horsley noted in a review of recent US immigration policy, the rate of deportations went up under Obama, just as it had under the previous two presidents. The wall Trump would like to build would require 339 million cubic feet of concrete; three times the amount it took to build the Hoover Dam. “Bush, the same thing”. “With the stroke of a pen, for example, Trump could reverse a program that has protected hundreds of thousands of people brought to the United States illegally as children – something he has vowed to do”. “Well, I’m going to do the same thing”.
Trump added that the barrier to be erected on the United States border with Mexico may not consist entirely of brick and mortar, but that fencing could be used in some areas.
But while Trump is planning to wall-off Mexico, he has been building bridges with Britain.
This echoes House Republicans’ proposal to use fencing as a more realistic and less costly alternative to the “big, beautiful, powerful wall” Trump promised during the campaign.
