Donald Trump defended his immigration plan during the third and final presidential debate Wednesday night in Las Vegas, Nevada.

“[People are] coming in illegally,” said Trump. “Drugs are pouring into the border.”

“We have no country if we have no border,” Trump argued, referring to his promise to build a wall and secure the U.S.-Mexico border.  

 

 

Trump went on to say that one of his first acts as president will be “to get all of the drug lords” out of the U.S.

He added that once the border is secured, his administration would determine what to do with illegal immigrants residing on American soil.

“We’re gonna get them out, we’re going to secure the border, and once the border is secured, at a later date, we’ll make a determination as to the rest,” Trump said.   

“We have some bad hombres here and we’re gonna get ‘em out,” he promised.
