President-elect Donald Trump affirmed Thursday that border security will be his top concern when he assumes office in January, regardless of the cost.
“It’s not a question of a price tag,” the 78-year-old told NBC News in his first interview since media outlets projected him to be the 47th president early Wednesday. “It’s not — really, we have no choice.”
“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,” Trump added. “There is no price tag.”

In an interview with The Post last month, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) estimated that 4.5 million illegal aliens will be “first priority” for removal.
Johnson added that those “who’ve already committed crimes” would be singled out.
“They’re in the system now [for] shoplifting, or whatever it is … or [having] done things that are untoward or unlawful,” he explained. “We know where they are, we know what they’ve done, they’re here detained, they gotta go.”

Note: OUR border.
Not some euroweenie border.
OK - good plan, but NOT until you've done something to ensure they won't just turn around and come back in.
You don't bail out the boat while a leak is unplugged - you just drown tired.
Trump is right . Deport all illegals . the democrats / marxists brought in most of the Venezuelan drug cartel gangs into the U.S.A. I don’t see what could be more important than to deport these ruthless criminals. plus they are giving all illegals $30k on a debit card. deport all illegals asap.
High on the priority list: Strike off the chains imbecile Biden had installed to keep the fence’s gates OPEN. LOCK those gates.
This can’t happen soon enough.
I HATE this “committed a crime.” Being here is a CRIME. If illegal alien then deport. This special “language” about “crime” translating to being here illegally as not a crime has gone on long enough!
Great list of immigration to-do items.
I would add huge monetary fines on NGOs who try to bring in or shelter illegals.
Start with illegals who voted in the election.
“Build these for a speedy exit.”
I would pay to see that!
I know this is a quote from the NY Post, but we really should call him President Trump instead of President-elect Trump. He does not lose the honorific just because he has been re-elected. It is proper, accurate, and polite to call him President Trump, and it gives his words and actions additional oomph and street cred. And we need that ASAP.
