Lesley Stahl: “Let’s go through very quickly some of the promises you made, and tell us if you’re going to do what you said—”
Donald Trump: “OK, sure.”
Lesley Stahl: “—or you’re going to change it in any way. Are you really going to build a wall?”
Donald Trump: “Yes.”

Lesley Stahl: “So, part wall, part fence?”
Donald Trump: “Yeah, it could be—it could be some fencing.”
Lesley Stahl: “What about the pledge to deport millions and millions of undocumented immigrants?”
Donald Trump: “What we are going to do is get the people that are criminal and have criminal records, gang members, drug dealers—we have a lot of these people, probably 2 million, it could even be 3 million. We are getting them out of our country, or we’re going to incarcerate. But we’re getting them out of our country. They’re here illegally.”
