Donald Trump said he thinks a lot of “gang members” in America, particularly in Chicago, Baltimore and Ferguson, are illegal immigrants and, if he becomes president, “they’re going to be gone.”
“A lot of the gangs that you see – it doesn’t hopefully pertain to you guys so much – but when you look at Baltimore, when you look at Chicago and Ferguson and a lot of areas, you know a lot of these gang members are illegal immigrants,” he said during an interview with Mobile, Alabama radio station FM Talk 1065. “They’re going to be gone. We are going to get them out so fast, out of this country so fast.”
Trump spoke in the interview Thursday ahead of a scheduled rally Friday at Ladd-Peebles Stadium.
Trump, who has moved to the top of summer polls, has called for the mass deportation of people who have entered the country illegally. He has also said he plans to build a giant wall along the Mexican border.
Also on Thursday, Trump appeared on the cover of Time magazine.
In an interview with the publication, Trump sounded off on undocumented immigrants.
When pressed on how feasible it would be to remove undocumented immigrants from the U.S., he did not detail specifics but said, "it'll all work out."

“It’s called management,” Trump said. “Politicians can’t manage; all they can do is talk. It’s called management. And we’ll do an expedited system. Because I agree with you, there are some very, very good people here who they are here illegally. But they are illegal.”
