Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has vowed to deport anyone who is in the United States illegally, should he be elected.
During a major policy speech in the border state of Arizona, Trump took a dim view of the 11 million people who had crossed into the US illegally and said he would also crackdown on those who have committed serious crimes.
“I’m going to create a new special Deportation Task Force focused on identifying and quickly removing the most dangerous criminal illegal immigrants in America who have evaded justice, just like Hillary Clinton has evaded justice”
Trump was later joined by representatives of families of people killed by illegal immigrants.
He also promised to suspend immigration from Syria and Libya as a way of carrying out his proposed ban on Muslims from some countries.
The speech is being seen as Trump’s response to critics who have accused him of “flip flopping” over immigration issues having flirted with a softer approach,
