If you're still wondering where San Antonio's wall is you're apparently not alone. And more than a thousand people indicated they're ready to go find it.

A San Antonio resident has created a Facebook event dedicated to finding the wall in San Antonio recently referenced by President Donald Trump.

The page was created on the heels of Trump's comments on Saturday morning, when he told reporters how effective a wall has been in San Antonio.

"Everybody knows that walls work," Trump said. "You look at San Antonio, you look at so many different places. they go from one of the most unsafe cities in the country to one of the safest cities, immediately, immediately."

Although San Antonio's overall crime rate has decreased in recent years, none of it is attributable to a border wall -- or any wall -- in the Alamo City because there isn't one.

San Antonio is about 150 miles north of the border, far removed from true border cities like Laredo, Brownsville and McAllen.

Still, one San Antonio resident is ready to lead the search party for the nonexistent wall. The event, created by Manuel Lopez Jr., is scheduled for May 5 at the Alamo, according to the Facebook page.

"I propose that we all meet up and find this wall! We as San Antonians deserve to know where this wall is at and deserve some answers," Lopez wrote in the event's description.

Lopez writes he hopes the search party can answer some questions, like where the wall is and who paid for it.

"Together, we will find this wall! Hope to see everyone there as we celebrate Cinco De Mayo with the 'Great Wall of San Antonio.'"

As of Tuesday morning, more than 1,400 users have RSVP'd for the event and more than 7,000 users are interested in it.
