President-Elect Donald Trump shut down NBC's attempt to criticize his deportation plan. 

Trump, according to the Daily Caller, did so during the Meet The Press interview that he did with host Kristen Welker.

The interview aired on Sunday, and, as usual, the leftist outlet attempted to get Trump in some "gotcha" moments.

The president-elect, however, proved, once again, that he is not so easy to get.

Here is what happened:

One of the subjects that came up during the interview is Trump's plan to deport illegal immigrants from the United States. Trump has made it plain that he intends on carry this plan out and that he will do so by starting with illegal immigrants residing in America who have been convicted of crimes.

Trump told Welker:

I think you have to do it, and it’s a very tough thing to do. But you have to have, you know you have rules, regulations, laws. They came in illegally. You know, the people who have been treated very unfairly are the people who have been [in] line for 10 years that come into the country and we’re gonna make it very easy for people to come in terms of, they have to pass the test. They have to be able to tell you what the Statue of Liberty is, they have to tell you a little bit about our country, they have to love our country.

Trump went on to emphasize that you cannot have people enter America illegally who have, for example, "come out of prisons" for such crimes as murder.

Here, Welker attempted to contradict Trump by claiming that there are not as many criminal illegal immigrants in America as he claims and that the idea that states like Colorado are getting taking over by illegal immigrants is wrong.

Trump, however, was not having any of it. He simply told her that it is "totally the case" that these things have been happening.

Another issue that Welker tried to raise, regarding the deportation of illegal immigrants, was that of family separation.

"Let me ask you about another group of people, the estimated 4 million families in America who have mixed immigration status. So I’m talking about parents who might be here illegally, but the kids are here legally," Welker said.

Trump jumped in, responding, "I don’t want to be breaking up families. So the only way you don’t break up the family is you keep them together, and you have to send them all back."

He added, "I think you have to do it. It’s a very tough thing to do. It’s — but you have to have, you know, you have rules, regulations, laws. They came in illegally. You know, the people that have been treated very unfairly are the people that have been on line for 10 years to come into the country."

NBC simply could not get its "gotcha" moment.
