Trump, who is known for placing a high value on loyalty, will likely turn to some his early backers to take his agenda to Congress.

So, what are his views when it comes to immigration? Pretty interesting take on what he thinks "deportation" should consist of.

Trump made immigration central to his candidacy, and after a meeting with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Speaker Paul Ryan on Capitol Hill Thursday, he said immigration was his top priority.
As for the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the country, Rep. Chris Collins of New York, one of Trump's earliest backers, said deporting them is not part of the plan and that after the border is secure and the "criminal element" is removed, Collins predicts some sort of legalization for the undocumented.
"I think we can do fundamental immigration reform," he said
