CBS has released a number of clips from the interview. An excerpt was shown on Face the Nation Sunday in which Trump answered questions from Lesley Stahl about his campaign promises on immigration and that wall.

“What we are going to do is get the people that are criminal and have criminal records, gang members, drug dealers, where a lot of these people, probably two million, it could be even three million, we are getting them out of our country or we are going to incarcerate,” he said. “But we’re getting them out of our country, they’re here illegally.”

Trump said after the border had been secured, and “everything gets normalized,” they were going to look at other illegal immigrants, “who are terrific people” he said, to make a determination. “But before we make that determination… it’s very important, we are going to secure our border.”

When asked if we really going to build a wall, Trump replied, “Yes.”

Stahl then asked if he would accept a fence. “For certain areas I would, but for certain areas a wall is more appropriate,” he said, adding, “I’m very good at this, it’s called construction, it’s what I do.”
