During the presidential debate Thursday night, President Trump brought up an issue about border security and illegal immigration:

And with that, Dar’shun Kendrick, a Democrat member of the Georgia House of Representatives, had a question:

Did @realDonaldTrump just say 545 kids they can't find their parents for came over through "cartels and coyotes"?! How the hell does a coyote bring a whole human across the border?! Lord—–stop talking. #FinalDebate

Obligatory question:

This can't be real, can it?

The line between reality and parody/satire has indeed been blurred as of late.

Lord—- learn more about border crossing terminology.

“Wow” is right.

As anyone who's ever spent any time in a border state knows, "coyotes" are people hired by cartels and human traffickers to illegally traffic immigrants over the U.S.-Mexico border into the U.S. https://t.co/nSkeHBd40r

If you're hearing the word "coyote" for the first time tonight, you just might be watching too much CNN. https://t.co/wtmobbKS56
