people needing help. Panama is the mega-giant of these -- 4.5 million population, and its area about the same as S. Carolina (whose population BTW is 5.4 million).

The rest are below a million population: Bahamas 413k, Grenada 126k, and Turks and Caicos 46k, and all these are minute area-wise.

There are 13 million undocumented migrants in the U.S., according to a quick Google search.

What the idiot was "thinking" when he came up with this list of countries, who knows.

Other countries that Trump is considering include Turks and Caicos, Panama, and Grenada, sources told NBC.
