Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Wednesday called for a "deportation force" tasked with sending immigrants who are in the United States illegally back to their native countries.

During an appearance on "Morning Joe" on the day after a Republican presidential debate in which immigration was a major topic, host Mika Brzezinski pressed Trump on how, logistically, he was going to deal with the issue of the millions of illegal immigrants who are already in the country.

"Are you going to have a massive deportation force?" Brzezinski asked.

Trump responded in the affirmative.
