Donald Trump on Sunday danced around exactly how he would implement his immigration plan, eventually pinning it down to one word: Management.
“George, it’s called management,” the GOP presidential candidate told ABC host Stephanopoulos on “This Week.”
“First thing we have to do is secure the border — it’s called management,” Trump repeated.
This was the vague explanation given after being probed multiple times throughout the interview as to the ways in which Trump would execute the proposal he rolled out exactly one week ago.

The immigration plan has three central parts — build a border wall, enforce laws, and ensure improved jobs, wages and security. To sum it up, Trump said in the proposal, “In short, the Mexican government has taken the United States to the cleaners. They are responsible for this problem, and they must help pay to clean it up.”
When asked about the hundreds of billions of dollars his plan is expected to cost, according to the American Action Forum, Trump became defensive.
“First of all they’re wrong,” he said, but wouldn’t give offer another number that he believed would be realistic.
“If you don’t think those numbers are right how much is it going to cost and where are you going to get the money?” Stephanopoulos asked.
“It’s costing us $130 billion a year and that’s peanuts compared to what the real cost is,” Trump replied, reiterating the need to build a border wall. A wall that Trump has said he will require Mexico to build.
“You have so many illegals, we don’t even know how many. I hear 11 million, I hear 30 million, the government has no idea. We have lost control of our country, lost control of our borders,” Trump added.
