Donald Trump, talking about immigration, said there are some “bad hombres” in the United States.

“We have some bad hombres here, and we're going to get them out,” Trump said during the final presidential debate.

Building a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border has been a central tenet of Trump’s campaign. Trump has said he wants to deport the 11 million undocumented immigrants in the country, but last month said he would prioritize the deportation of 5 million to 6.5 million people.
