Donad Trump says Clinton would let 650 million people into US in a week

Republican presidential nominee makes outlandish immigration
claim at a rally in New Mexico while also stoking fears of voting
fraud in Colorado

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 Clinton’s “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 you’re 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, that’s what could happen. You triple the size of our country in one week. Once you lose control of your borders you have no country.”

Even better, the Trump campaign should be folded up like a cheap tent. It's a poorly-run circus, after all.

I just read him being quoted that there were 650 thousand emails on Wiener's computer.

Reclining near the border and tripling his tally.

He really missed out.

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?

If half of China moves to the US in a week, we'll need to cut down the entire Olympic National Forest to make enough chopsticks.

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

Maybe he was confusing the number 650 million with the amount of money he doesn't have that would even qualify him to be called a Billionaire...
