Donald Trump falsely claimed at a rally on Sunday that Hillary Clinton wants to let 650 million people pour in to the US and triple the size of our country in one week.
Speaking in an airplane hangar in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Trump again pushed his hardline immigration stance and warned of the dangers posed by what he described as Clintons open borders policy.
Trump took his alarmist rhetoric to a new height when boasting about his endorsement from the union which represents ICE and border patrol officers. He told them: You know, it would be much easier working for Obama or working for crooked Hillary because frankly when youre working for Hillary, she wants to let people just pour in.
Trump continued: You could have 650 million people pour in and we do nothing about it. Think of it, thats what could happen. You triple the size of our country in one week. Once you lose control of your borders you have no country.

(13,783 posts)It was mentioned quoted/replayed on both our NPR stations a number of times today and I saw it in two Google headlines at the same time. I'm reading this as the media illustrating how totally absurd Trump's rhetoric is. Am I giving them and listeners too much credit?

Maybe Hillary can slow it down to 100,000,000 a month?
