Republican nominee Donald Trump said at the third presidential debate, that as one of his first acts as president, he'll deport the drug lords to prevent heroin from streaming across the southern border.

"One of my first acts will be to get all of the drug lords - all of the bad ones - we have some bad, bad people in this country that have to go out," Trump said Wednesday evening. "We're going to get them out, we're going to secure the border, and once the border is secure, at a later date we'll make a determination as to the rest."

"But we have some bad hombres here," he added. "Drugs are pouring into through the border. We have no country if we have no border. Hillary wants to give amnesty. She wants to have open borders."

Trump recounted a recent experience in New Hampshire — a state ravaged by heroin addiction — and noted that it's imperative to stop drugs from coming across the border.

"I was up in New Hampshire the other day...all of their problems, their single biggest problem is heroin that pours across our southern border," Trump said. "Just pouring and destroying their youth, it's poisoning the blood of their youth and plenty of other people. We have to have strong borders. We have to keep the drugs out of our country. Right now, we're getting the drugs, and they're getting the cash."
