"When asked about a U.S. law that generally prevents the military from being used in domestic law enforcement, Trump said illegal immigration amounted to an invasion that needed to be stopped.
'I consider it an invasion of our country,' Trump told TIME as part of an interview naming him 'Person of the Year.' 'We'll get National Guard, and we'll go as far as I'm allowed to go, according to the laws of our country.'
Trump, a Republican, won reelection in November portraying migrants as dangerous criminals and promising a wide-ranging crackdown on both legal and illegal immigration, including mass deportations. He plans to pull resources from across the federal government for the deportation effort and declare a national emergency to unlock funds for enforcement, Reuters reported in November."
