Ann Coulter: S.A. trailer victims would still be alive 'if we had a wall'

Conservative commentator Ann Coulter took to Twitter to say the 10 immigrants who died after being smuggled into San Antonio in a tractor-trailer would still be alive if "we had a wall."

Building a wall along the country's border with Mexico was one of President Donald Trump's promises as a candidate, and a policy he has yet to deliver on. Five days after his inauguration, Trump signed an executive order that called for the "immediate" construction of a border wall to "prevent illegal immigration, drug and human trafficking, and acts of terrorism."

"They're still be alive, if we had a wall," Coulter said on Twitter Sunday, hours after eight people were found dead inside the sweltering trailer in a Walmart parking lot on San Antonio's Southwest Side.

Two more died Sunday and Monday after being taken to local hospitals for treatment.

Coulter's tweet was met with more than 1,000 retweets, 2,600 likes, and dozens of responses that cheered her sentiment on.

"I agree!! We need a wall, and fast," one said.

Others disagreed.

"Really? (You) honestly believe that, Ann? Drive down to the Rio Grande Valley in Texas (and) get a reality check!" one said.
