Donald Trump would reverse President Obama's executive orders on immigration and deport all undocumented immigrants from the U.S. as president, he said in an exclusive interview with NBC's Chuck Todd.
"We're going to keep the families together, but they have to go," he said in the interview, which will air in full on NBC's "Meet the Press" this Sunday.
Pressed on what he'd do if the immigrants in question had nowhere to return to, Trump reiterated: "They have to go."

MANY people on the left are also against illegal immigration.
Many on the left are also against free trade and are against the concept of “too big to fail”, the undo influence of corporations and lobbyists on our system, power hungry judges, and the bank bailouts.
We could be witnessing a complete realignment of the political parties, which for republicans was badly needed.
They waffles because they dont want to tell us what they REALLY believe because in most cases the conservative base would reject them out of hand if they expressed their true leftward feelings on a variety of subjects.
FEUDALISM
The Left hates the idea of a meritocracy that allows people the freedom to achieve and succeed. This makes people less dependent on government. The Lefties want total control and they need votes to impose it through the expansion of government.
He’s right again.
On the illegal immigration comments made today I may have to vote for him.
We gave the GOPe two big election wins and what did we get?
ObamaCare. Amnesty.
They did nothing.
At this point, could it get any worse?
If Trump has a 50% chance of sending the illegals back and securing our borders, it’s worth voting for him.
Without that we’ll lose EVERY election forever and the nation will be over. It’s an existential threat to the U.S. at this point.
Exactly right.
We in the 7th -VA figured out that the weasel Eric Cantor’s claims to be against amnesty were all lies. He was plotting behind the scenes to carry out the orders of The Cheap Labor Express.
The same is true for far too many representatives who are not representing the people but the corporations who employ the illegal aliens.
Renee Elmers is a classic example of another that needs to be Cantorized.
There are far too many to list.
There are maybe 5 Senators and 50 House members on the side of the citizens and the rule of law.
“Here’s the interesting part that many conservative dont know or realize...MANY people on the left are also against illegal immigration...We could be witnessing a complete realignment of the political parties, which for republicans was badly needed.”
That is SO CORRECT. The standard thinking, by everyone, has always been something like the electorate is 45% Dem, 45% Rep and 10% who go with the flow. But what if it’s not? What if the electorate is really 30% Dem, 30% Rep, and 40% who are willing to consider both sides. Then you can have HUGE LANDSLIDES and re-alignments that no one thought possible. For example, white voters - still 70-75% of the electorate are mostly flexible - yes there are 10% on each end that will stay with their party no matter what, but the remainder can go either way. Talk the language right to a union guy who has always voted Democrat and you get a Republican. But so far, the Republicans haven’t offered that guy a damn thing, while the Dems at least offer welfare - as both parties plot to send his job overseas, or have H1B’s or Illegals (or legals) take away his work...so the logical vote for that person has been and is Democrat.
Now Trump says that it’s unacceptable to take away his job and give him Food Stamps as consolation prize...that is a BIG DEAL. Promise Keystone, Highways, Border Security (and now deportations), Factories, and God knows what else, and that union guy well shift from being an ‘unreachable’ Democrat to a solid Republican.
That is a re-alignment.
“He still doesn’t tell us what he will do with the full weight of 40 million foreign tresspassers wallpapering US citizens. He needs to GET SPECIFIC & CLARIFY-NO AMNESTY does not work with informed voters.”
Is anyone more specific than Trump - they ALL have to leave, with or without their (legal) US families.
There are points I strongly disagree with Trump. However, Trump’s stand on immigration is absolutely essential for the survival of this country, and I have no problem voting for him. We should not be the dumping grounds for undesirables from foreign nation. Ann Coulter makes a good case in her book “Adios, America.”
Bingo! Excellent point.
I know a few hard core RATs that have become Trump supporters for the one issue of illegals.
I think Trump could ignite a fire storm of realignment.
If Trump has another rise in the pools because more people learn about his immigration plans then he may be unstoppable.
How could I love Trump more..?
