Chris Wallace Confronts Trump for Actual Evidence on Mexico Claims

One of the biggest pillars of Donald Trump‘s campaign has been the claim the Mexican government is deliberately sending criminals across the border. Tonight at the debate, Chris Wallace confronted him on exactly what evidence he has.

Trump bragged about how he’s made illegal immigration a huge topic of discussion, railed against the “dishonest” media, and insisted that the U.S. needs to build a wall to keep illegal immigrants out.

After Trump’s time was up, Wallace gave Trump an additional 30 seconds so he could specifically give the actual evidence he has that Mexico’s deliberately sending criminals across the border.

Trump said he heard it from border patrol agents, but didn’t provide anything other than that except to rip our “stupid” leaders” and say “that’s what’s happening, whether you like it or not.”
