Washington (CNN) While discussing his frustration over President Donald Trump's plan to impose tariffs on imports from Mexico, Iowa Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley on Thursday also addressed the border crisis, claiming that migrants are "renting babies" to game the US immigration system.

"People down there in Central America or Mexico are renting babies to get across the border and then sending the babies back and then renting them again to send them across the border," Grassley told reporters.

Facts first: Immigration and Customs Enforcement says there is evidence that some migrants coming into the US have used children to pose as a family, though the agency has said it's uncommon for an infant to be used for this purpose.

As expected, the "pawn" tRump appointed Secretary of Department of Homeland Security perpetuated the lie, without offering ANY reasonable evidence or reliable statistics to support it.

1. Chuck Grassley should be ashamed of himself!!

2. OK, than I guess that the Rent-A-Baby

being used will now be branded with a mark so that the Border Patrol will be able to catch these cry babies as repeat offenders? Is that what Stephan Miller has planned for them?

4. They can put tattoos on the arms of children in the "detention camp" in Homeland, FL:

Auschwitz-Birkenau: The Evolution of Tattooing in the Auschwitz Concentration Camp Complex
by George Rosenthal (Auschwitz Survivor)

For many, the blurred blue lines of a serial number on a forearm are an indelible image of the Holocaust. The tattoos of the survivors have come to symbolize the utter brutality and of the concentration camps and the attempt of the Nazis to dehumanize their victims. The tattoos are also a testament to the resilience of those who bear them. Yet despite the importance of the tattoos, as testament, symbol, and historical artifact, little scholarship has been devoted to the subject. There exist virtually no official period documents relating to the practice; what we know stems from anecdotal evidence contained in camp records and the accounts of those who were at the camps.

The Auschwitz Concentration Camp Complex (including Auschwitz 1, AuschwitzBirkenau, and Monowitz) was the only location in which prisoners were systematically tattooed during the Holocaust. Prior to tattooing, several means of identifying prisoners, both by number and by category, had been implemented; serial numbers were the main method. When they arrived at the camp, prisoners were issued serial numbers which were then sewn to their prison uniforms. These serial numbers were most often accompanied by different shapes, symbols or letters which identified the status, nationality, or religion of the prisoner. This practice continued even after tattooing was introduced.
