President Donald Trump surprised reporters by inviting them into a roundtable with supporters to talk about the crisis on the Southern border during a campaign event in Texas.
The group of supporters met with the president in San Antonio, Texas, but agreed to speak to the media about the problems on the border.
Trump appeared deeply moved by stories about the border crisis after speaking with Texas landowners, who told him about migrants and illegal immigrants dying in the desert after smugglers dropped them off at the border.
One supporter explained how human smuggler “coyotes” preyed on illegals and migrants on the border sending them through brush country with a gallon of water toward cities too far away to survive.
“We have numerous people dying on these ranches, and people have been finding their bodies for a number of years,” he said.
He also spoke about coyotes driving their trucks through their fences after they were pursued by border patrol agents.
Other families, he said, were forced to leave their homes at times when the activity got too violent.
Trump expressed surprise by the stories.
