The Mexican government is bracing itself for the possible mass deportations under President-elect Donald Trump, according to a government spokesperson .

Eduardo Sánchez, a spokesman for Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto, said in a press conference Monday that Peña Nieto was interested in speaking with Trump to discuss deportation and other issues before Trump takes office in January. It would be the second meeting between the two.

"We will have to see how many of those deportations, usually done by the United States government to the countries where the illegal immigrants are from, are for Mexico," he said.

The comments came after Trump's appearance Sunday on "60 Minutes," where he said he planned to deport an estimated 2 to 3 million immigrants in the country illegally who have criminal records. His hardline stance on immigration and his plans to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border were staples of his campaign.

"We're getting them out of our country, they're here illegally," Trump said. "After the border is secured and after everything gets normalized, we're going to make a determination on the people that you're talking about who are terrific people, they're terrific people but we are gonna make a determination at that."

While the majority of those facing deportation would not be Mexican , according to Mexican officials, Sánchez said the Mexican government will have several measures ready to deal with the possible deportations.

"Of course this and other matters will be part of the agenda that Mexico brings to the table during the bilateral meetings that will take place with the government of President-elect Donald Trump," Sánchez said.

Humberto Roque Villanueva, Mexico's deputy interior minister for migration, said Nov. 9, the day after the election, that the deportation process would not happen soon or quickly. He said Mexico was ready to use legal action to try to block Trump's plan to have the southern country pay for the border wall.
