In a Friday afternoon Rose Garden press conference, President Donald Trump made a number of remarkable claims and rambling statements, including one in which he stated that there was no signage at the U.S.-Mexico border.
"Children are the biggest beneficiaries of what we want to do," Trump said, seemingly oblivious to the fact that at least two children have died in U.S. custody as a result of his policies. "These coyotes, what they do with children, all because we have open borders, because they think they can get away with it."
"They don't come in through the port, where we have a lot of protection," the president continued. "They come through these vast, open areas. You don't even have a sign saying, 'Mexico-U.S.' There is no sign designating, 'you have just entered the United States.' Just open space."
In fact, a Google search for "U.S. Mexico border signage" revealed a broad variety of signs, warnings, and other messages to would-be entrants. Many were bilingual.
