Will deport two to three million illegal immigrants: Donald Trump

US President-elect Donald Trump says he will deport two to three million undocumented immigrants who have criminal records when he assumes power and intends to build a wall along US Mexican border to thwart stream of illegal migration into country. 

In an excerpt of the interview released before its airs last night, Trump said he intends to build the wall, a favorite campaign promise for his most devoted supporters, but that part of the barrier might be some fencing. Overall, about 11 million undocumented immigrants live in the United States, but Trump said that after the border is secure and the initial group of law-breaking immigrants



is deported, his government would decide what to do with the remaining millions of undocumented migrants living in the United States. 

Meanwhile, Trump's administration is beginning to take shape. He announced yesterday that Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus will be his new chief of staff, the highest ranking White House employee who is basically the top assistant to the President. He also named right-wing media executive Steve Bannon as his chief strategist and counselor. Mr Trump is due to take over at the White House on 20th of January next year, when Barack Obama steps down after two terms in office.
