The US Republican Presidential candidate, Donald Trump, on Wednesday said that there would be no "amnesty" for undocumented migrants living in the United States and that they will have to go back.
Trump, while delivering his immigration speech in Phoenix, also promised to build a "beautiful" and "impenetrable" border wall which will be paid for by Mexico. Trump delivered the hardline speech on immigration soon after he met the Mexico President Enrique Pena Nieto.
Responding to Trump's claims, the President of Mexico said that the country would not pay for any such structure.
"At the start of the conversation with Donald Trump, I made it clear that Mexico will not pay for the wall," Pena Nieto wrote on Twitter after Trump left Mexico City for his speech in Phoenix.
The Republican presidential candidate took a harsh line on immigration saying, "Our message to the world will be this: you cannot obtain legal status or become a citizen of the United States by illegally entering our country."
"You can't just smuggle in, hunker down and wait to be legalised. Those days are over," Trump added.
"This election is our last chance to secure the border, stop illegal immigration, and reform our laws to make your life better," Trump said.
Trump's speech in Phoenix appeared to cater widely to White conservative voters, who backed the billionaire businessman and swept him to victory in the GOP primary elections. Resonating the image of America, that he sketched in his Cleveland convention in July, as a crime-riddled desperate nation in need of saving, Trump added, "This is it. We won't get another opportunity -- it will be too late."
If Trump becomes the US President, he plans to deport the immigrants with criminal records and millions of undocumented migrants who are protected under President Barack Obama's executive orders. He did not clearly state what would happen to the 11 million undocumented people living in the United States currently. He just seemed to suggest that they would have to go back to their countries and come back legally.
