Donald Trump took to Twitter on Thursday to continue making his case for a border wall.

In a video posted by the President, Trump stated “open borders are very bad for our country.” Referencing drug smuggling, crime, and human trafficking, Trump focused on human trafficking, saying “you can’t bring women or children through a port of entry…it has to go out into the open areas where they drive into our country like there’s no problem.”

Trump said human traffickers are using areas where there is no border security, adding “this isn’t about technology and this isn’t about politics. This is about practicality and security for our nation.”

Trump added “if we don’t have a wall to stop them, nothing will stop them.”

However, much of what Trump claims about human trafficking and border crossings is wrong.

There has been no evidence to support Trump’s claims that migrants are using prayer rugs at the border or that smugglers are using duct tape on women to traffic them, an administration official told ABC News on the condition of anonymity, because the person was not authorized to speak publicly.

The introduction of Trump’s taped women narrative corresponds with a marked change in tone by his administration on the urgency of constructing a border “wall” — a request that Democrats in Congress have refused to grant. The recent budget impasse over Trump’s demands for $5.7 billion for his proposed wall led to the longest government shutdown in U.S. history.

Trump’s most-recent retelling of the duct-tape story came last Friday in the Rose Garden as he announced a temporary end to the partial government shutdown. He argued that Democrats needed to recognize the horrors at the border, again launching into the same dark narrative he has told more than ten times this month, according to an analysis by the Washington Post.
