Trump invites man wearing border wall suit to stage: 'We know who he's voting for'

WASHINGTON – Amid chants of "build that wall," President Donald Trump found one supporter that truly tried to embody one of the president's main policy initiatives.

During a campaign rally in Montoursville, Penn., Trump invited a man to the stage who was wearing a suit that had a brick wall design.

"Now, we know who he's voting for," Trump said after shaking hands with the man, identified as Blake Marnell by the Associated Press.

Trump was campaigning for Republican Fred Keller ahead of Tuesday's special election to find a replacement for Rep. Tom Marino. Keller is going up against Democrat Marc Friedenberg for Pennsylvania's 12th Congressional District seat.

The president was bashing Friedenberg as a candidate who "wants to open your borders." Democrats have not called for open borders, but have opposed Trump's plan to build new barriers along the U.S.-Mexico border.

"We're fighting like hell with the worst laws to get those borders closed," the president said.

His supporters began chanting "build that wall," when Trump spotted Marnell, who was sporting the signature red "Make America Great Again" cap and a suit designed to look like a brick wall.

"Look at that," Trump said pointing to the crowd. "Can you get him up here? Get him up here, c'mon. Look at this guy!"

Marnell, who Trump said was from San Diego, Calif., ran up to the stage to shake the president's hand and briefly exchanged words with Trump.

The president later in his rally continued to criticize Democrats' stance on immigration, again falsely saying that "they want everyone to come in."

Trump claimed that "Democrat-backed policies have left our borders overrun" and "our detention facilities overwhelmed."

Centers holding migrants have quickly filled up and have created hard living environments. A 16-year-old Guatemalan migrant, Carlos Gregorio Hernandez Vasquez, died while in Customs and Border Protection custody, the agency announced Monday.

Last week, Trump last introduced an immigration plan that prioritizes highly skilled workers -- a plan he called "pro-immigrant" at the Monday rally. The plan did not address the millions of undocumented immigrants currently living in the U.S.

"Our country is full," Trump said Monday night in Pennsylvania. "We don't want people coming up here. We want Mexico to stop, we want all of them to stop.

"Our country is packed to the gills, we don't want them coming up," he concluded.
