Donald Trump has promised to start mass deportations on the first day of his presidency.

He is also promising to hire 10,000 Border Patrol agents and ask Congress to give all agents a 10% pay raise.

Arizona voters are divided on how to deal with immigration and border security.

Sheriff Mark Lamb , the sheriff in Pinal County - a conservative area just south-east of Phoenix - said Trump winning the White House would deter migrants.

Others are excited to see Trump 's proposals come to fruition.

But how Trump 's policies will actually work on the ground is still anyone’s guess.

“I don't think anybody has the resources right now,” Sheriff Lamb said.
