Donald Trump on Saturday provided a false narrative about Hillary Clinton's immigration policy, asserting she wants to "abolish borders," misstating her position on an issue that is crucial to his candidacy.

"Clinton is the first person in history to run for the presidency who is proposing to abolish the borders around the country that she is supposed to protect," the Republican presidential nominee said in Houston to family members of people killed by people in the country illegally.

The Democratic nominee supports a path to legal status for the estimated 11 million people in the country illegally. None of Clinton's proposals suggests abolishing borders, as Trump claimed.

Indeed, her plan calls for boosting border security and "detaining and deporting those individuals who pose a violent threat to public safety."
