Play
Last night, Donald Trump delivered a long-awaited speech on illegal immigration, vowing to deport those in the U.S. without permission. The Washington Post estimated that could apply to more than 6 million people.
Before that speech, Trump met with Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto. The pair disagreed on whether the issue of a wall along the U.S.-Mexican border came up. Trump said it did not. But Nieto tweeted that it did, and said Mexico would not pay for the wall.
