“After the border is secure and after everything gets normalised, we’re going to make a determination on the people that they’re talking about who are terrific people, they’re terrific people but we are gonna make a determination at that,” Trump said.
“But before we make that determination…It’s very important, we are going to secure our border,” he said in response to a question.
Trump insisted that he is determined to fulfill another campaign promise of building a wall along the Mexican border.
“For certain areas I would, but certain areas, a wall is more appropriate,” he said.
“I’m very good at this, it’s called construction,” Trump said.
Since Trump’s election on Tuesday night, the realities of actually building that wall have begun to set in and the Mexican government has publicly reminded him that Mexico will not pay for the wall.
Asked about the wall, Trump transition co-chair Newt Gingrich said the wall was “a great campaign device”.
During his election campaign, Trump articulated a strong and tough immigration policy, which was quite opposite to that of his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton, which was based on compassion and providing a pathway to nearly 11 million illegal immigrants.
