Would Donald Trump kill no time on an issue that helped
propel him to the White House: transforming the immigration system? Would this
take place within hours of taking office Friday? Could we see the President of the United States clear
the way for workplace raids targeting those in the country illegally, step up
deportations and reduce the number of refugees allowed into the U.S as his
first mission in the office?
Remember he emphatically said he planned to immediately deport 2 million to 3 million undocumented immigrants who “have criminal records” after his inauguration next January (Friday 20th 01 2017)

“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 2 million, it could be even 3 million, we are getting them out
of our country or we are going to incarcerate,” Trump told "60 Minutes”
correspondent Lesley Stahl, according to a preview of the interview released by
CBS. “But we’re getting them out of our country. They’re here illegally.”
Stahl had pressed Trump about his campaign pledge to deport
“millions and millions of undocumented immigrants.” Trump told her that after
securing the border, his administration would make a “determination” on the
remaining undocumented immigrants in the country.
“After the border is secure and after everything gets
normalized, 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.”
Trump likely gets these estimates from a Department of
Homeland Security fiscal 2013 report saying there were 1.9 million “removable
criminal aliens.” However, that figure includes undocumented immigrants and
people who are lawful permanent residents, or those who have temporary visas.
As for how many of those people are illegally present
noncitizens, there are conflicting figures from the think tank Migration Policy
Institute and the Center for Immigration Studies. In a fact check, The Post
rated Trump's figures “Two Pinocchios,” noting that federal immigration enforcement
data is “not always transparent or reliable.”
House speaker Rep. Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) told Jake Tapper on
CNN's “State of the Union” that securing the border was their top priority.
“We are not planning on erecting a deportation force,” Ryan
said. “Donald Trump is not planning on that.”
Regarding his border wall plans, Trump told Lesley Stahl on
"60 Minutes” that he would accept fencing along some of the border, as
Republicans in Congress have proposed.
“For certain areas, I would. But for certain areas a wall is
more appropriate,” Trump said. “I'm very good at this. It's called
construction.”
