President-elect Donald Trump on Thursday said he has "no choice" but to carry-out mass deportations because of the surge of migrants who are living in the country illegally that entered the U.S. during the Biden administration.
Trump promised to strengthen border security and crack down on illegal immigration during his presidency if he was elected back to the White House. The former president was successful in his bid for reelection on Tuesday.
Trump said that he takes his electoral win as a mandate to "bring common sense" back to the U.S. and fulfill the promises that he made on the campaign trail.
"We obviously have to make the border strong and powerful and, and we have to — at the same time, we want people to come into our country," Trump told NBC News. "And you know, I’m not somebody that says, 'No, you can’t come in.' We want people to come in."
