Donald Trump claimed that gangs transporting illegal migrants across the US-Mexico border have “ have bigger, stronger, and faster vehicles than police”.

Trump said his proposed wall is the only way to stop illegal migrants “running through” despite multiple migrant experts claiming that most people staying illegally in the US arrived by airplane and outstayed their holiday visas.

Speaking to reporters, Trump said: “They have the best vehicles. They have bigger, stronger, and faster vehicles than our police have.

“We don’t have very strong barriers. They have unbelievable vehicles. They’re pretty good at that. They have areas they go to where it’s like a highway and if we don’t close them up then you’re kidding yourself. The wall is a necessity.

“If you don’t have the wall then a drone or other technology isn’t stopping 1,000 people from running through. Every democrat over the last 15 years have approved what we’re asking for. We have to think about the people of our country.”

Twitter had a field day:

Ladies and gents, the "president of the United States" channeling his delusional Mad Max theory of 'unbelievable vehicles' crossing the border to make the case for his even more delusional imaginary vanity wall. #ImpeachTheMFer #25thAmendmentNow

Sure, because when you want to slip into the U.S. without being noticed, you always use “bigger, stronger, faster vehicles than our police.”

It's a well-known fact illegal aliens are just jumping their cars right over the Rio Grande and also the Dukes of Hazzard was a documentary.
