Trump also told CBS News said that he will build the wall along the US-Mexico border that was a vital part of his presidential campaign.

However, Trump stipulated that the wall — instead of being 'big and beautiful' like he repeatedly vowed — could end up being part-wall and 'some fencing'.

"For certain areas I would, but certain areas, a wall is more appropriate," he said, adding that 'I'm very good at this, it's called construction'.

The billionaire businessman said that once the border is secured, immigration officials will 'make a determination' about remaining undocumented immigrants in the country. (IANS)
