On February 15th, Donald Trump declared<\/a> a state of national emergency in order to fund his \u201cgreat, great<\/a>\u201d border wall without having to go through Congress. There is, of course, no emergency, despite the rape fantasy that the president has regularly tried to pass off as public policy. In speech after speech, including his declaration of that emergency, he has told the same story: the United States needs a border wall to prevent sex traffickers from driving women into the country, bound with duct tape.<\/p>\n

\u201cWomen are tied up,\u201d he typically says<\/a>. \u201cThey\u2019re bound. Duct tape put around their faces, around their mouths. In many cases they can\u2019t even breathe.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a scenario he\u2019s only continued to elaborate over time. \u201cThey have tape over their mouths, electrical tape, usually blue tape, as they call it. It\u2019s powerful stuff. Not good. And they have three, four, five of them in vans, or three of them in back seats of cars.\u201d As they approach ports of entry, he swears, the vehicles carrying them \u201cget off the road, and they drive out into the desert and they come in, they make a left turn \u2014 usually it\u2019s a left, not a right.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fact-checkers and experts in border sex trafficking have been quick to insist<\/a> that they know of no such incidents, however elaborately imagined \u2014 not one. Instead, most women and children forced into prostitution, they report, enter the country through legal ports of entry.<\/p>\n
