President-elect Donald Trump says there is no price tag for his mass deportation effort, which he pledged to carry out during the presidential campaign.
“It’s not a question of a price tag. It’s not — really, we have no choice,” Trump said during an interview with NBC News.
“When people have killed and murdered, when drug lords have destroyed countries, and now they’re going to go back to those countries because they’re not staying here. There is no price tag,” he added.
Trump made border security a central piece of his successful 2024 presidential campaign.
He derided the Biden administration for allowing record amounts of illegal border crossings and releasing millions of migrants into U.S. communities.
