November 13, 2016 at 10:52 am EST By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

Donald Trump told 60 Minutes that he will immediately deport the two to three million undocumented immigrant he says are criminals once he takes office in January.

Said Trump: “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. But we’re getting them out of our country, they’re here illegally.”
