US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has insisted Mexico will pay for a border wall "100%", in a major immigration speech.
He told a rally in Arizona that he would secure the US borders and millions of undocumented immigrants could be subject to deportation.
Hours earlier, he met the Mexican President Pena Nieto but said they did not discuss who would pay for the wall.
But the president later insisted he had told Mr Trump Mexico would not pay.
There had been speculation that he would back off his plan to deport the estimated 11m undocumented immigrants living in the US.
In his speech in Phoenix, he said their fate was not a "core issue" but he was clear they faced the risk of deportation.
"Anyone who has entered the United States illegally is subject to deportation. That is what it means to have laws."
