Donald Trump has vowed to crack down on illegal immigrants and cut taxes, but also insisted Americans have nothing to fear from his presidency.<\/span><\/p>\n In an interview with CBS’s 60 Minutes, the President-elect made it clear he intends to aggressively pursue a conservative agenda.<\/span><\/p>\n On immigration, Mr Trump reaffirmed his campaign pledge to build a wall between the US and Mexico, although he conceded parts of it may be just a fence.<\/span><\/p>\n And he said as many as three million undocumented immigrants with criminal records would be deported or jailed.<\/span><\/p>\n “What we are going to do is get the people that are criminals and have criminal records, gang members, drug dealers,” he said.<\/span><\/p>\n “We have 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.”<\/span><\/p>\n He left the door open, however, on the fate of the millions of other hard-working immigrants in the country illegally.<\/span><\/p>\n “After the border is secured and after everything gets normalised, we’re going to make a determination on the people that you’re talking about who are terrific people,” he said.<\/span><\/p>\n Immigration was one of three top legislative priorities, he said, the others being action to undo Barack Obama’s signature healthcare reform but to keep some aspects of it, and a bill to cut taxes and simplify the tax code.<\/span><\/p>\n Mr Trump also pledged to name justices to the Supreme Court who are anti-abortion and pro-gun rights.<\/span><\/p>\n “The judges will be pro-life,” he told CBS. “In terms of the whole gun situation,” he added, “they’re going to be very pro-Second Amendment.”<\/span><\/p>\n Responding to the thousands of protesters who have massed in streets below Trump Tower headquarters, the billionaire said “I just don’t think they know me”.<\/span><\/p>\n He went on to tell those Americans who are scared of his presidency: “Don’t be afraid. We are going to bring our country back.”<\/span><\/p>\n He also confirmed he would forego the $400,000 salary that comes with the office of president.<\/span><\/p>\n “I’m not going to take the salary. I’m not taking it,” he said. “I think I have to by law take $1, so I’ll take $1 a year,” he added.<\/span><\/p>\n Meanwhile, the President-elect has chosen the chairman of the Republican National Committee, Reince Priebus, to be his White House chief of staff.<\/span><\/p>\n Mr Trump’s campaign chairman, Stephen Bannon, will be his chief strategist.<\/span><\/p>\n In another development, former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani has suggested Mr Trump put his businesses in a blind trust.<\/span><\/p>\n “He should basically take himself out of it, and just be a passive participant in the sense that he has no decision-making, no involvement,” Mr Giuliani said, adding that it would be “for the good of the country”.<\/span><\/p>\n Source:\u00a0http:\/\/news.sky.com\/story\/trump-firm-on-agenda-but-says-theres-nothing-to-fear-10656977<\/span><\/p>\n
