Trump vows to immediately deport up to 3 million immigrants:
In line with his hardline immigration stance, United States President-elect
Donald Trump has vowed to immediately deport up to three million undocumented immigrants, saying 'we are getting them out of our country or we are going to incarcerate'.
"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 told CBS News.
"But we're getting them out of our country, they're here illegally," the 70-year-old business tycoon-turned politician said in an excerpt released ahead of broadcast of the interview.
However, House Speaker and top Republican leader Paul Ryan, striking a different tone, said that despite Trump's campaign rhetoric,
lawmakers are not prepared to form a deportation force to round-up and deport undocumented immigrants.
During the election campaign, Trump had warned that those countries which do not accept these illegal immigrants, he would enforce the legal provision of stopping of issuing of visas to the people of those countries.
