After Meeting Mexican President, Trump Vows to Deport Millions Within First Hour in Office

HeadlineSep 01, 2016

In a major speech on immigration in Phoenix, Arizona, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump vowed to build a massive wall along the Mexican border and to begin deporting millions of immigrants as soon as he takes office, if elected in November. During the speech, he vowed to deport 2 million people within his first hour in office. Trump has made the mass deportation of 11 million undocumented immigrants one of the cornerstone proposals of his campaign. Donald Trump spoke in Phoenix just hours after meeting in Mexico City with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto. Trump has sparked outrage among Mexicans by calling them “rapists” and “criminals.” Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto has fiercely criticized Trump in the past, once comparing him to Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini.
