Appearing on CBS' 60 Minutes for his first in-depth interview as President-elect, Donald Trump addressed issues ranging from immigration to the Supreme Court.
During the interview conducted by Leslie Stahl, Trump was asked which of his campaign promises he intends to keep. Funny, we can't imagine Stahl asking Hillary Clinton the same question had she been elected president.
Nonetheless, Trump came across as humble and in control. On the topic of immigration, the President-elect was consistent in his position, telling Stahl that two to three million illegal aliens who have committed crimes (in addition to being here illegally) will be the first to go.
Trump said he intends to keep his promise to construct a border wall, and that dealing with illegal aliens with criminal records is a top priority. Be they drug dealers, gang members or anyone else with a criminal record, "we are getting them out of our country or we are going to incarcerate," Trump assured.
"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."
Trump was also asked about the type of border wall he will construct, and if a part of it would comprise fencing, concrete, or both. Trump said that a fence might suffice for certain stretches of border, while other portions would require a wall. In any event, he insisted that the border reinforcement will in fact be built.
