NEW YORK — Donald Trump said he sees ambulances as the ideal vehicles for his proposed policy to deport more than 11 million people living illegally in the United States.

The Republican presidential candidate, increasingly being pressed to give details on his ideas, mentioned ambulances when a supporter at a Central Park rally yelled, "By planes, trains or automobiles."

Trump, seen in several photos gazing at an ambulance on standby when the supporter yelled, quickly added to the remarks.

The proposed policy will deport more than 11 million people living illegally in the United States.

"You are right. America's got great, just tremendous mass infrastructure transit and those ambulances could be used for putting people to work and getting our country back," Trump said.

At least two ambulances from a local EMS agency are on Secret Service standby during the candidates' increasingly violent events.

"Ambulances are big. Big enough for an entire family. Not my family, though – we travel in a gold Gulfstream. But definitely for immigrant families," Trump said.

The crowd roared in approval of Trump's goal to keep families together, an oft-repeated refrain by the candidate.

"In the ambulance Grandma can ride on the bed stretcher with her air tank and all the kids can pile on the bench seat, just like a day in the park, and we'll put mom back there," Trump said.

"And they can play games and sing and maybe even deal some Uno. That’s a great game. You ever play that? Dad will want to ride up front. He'll love zooming through traffic and helping control the ambulance's lights."

Why ambulances

After the rally, Trump continued extolling the virtues of ambulances in a series of Tweets. He first tweeted, "Ambulances great. Flashing lights. They drive fast and go anywhere. #MakeAmericaGreatAgainFast."

His next Tweet was, "Love those ambulance drivers. Hard working men and some gals too. True homeland defenders."

A few minutes later, Trump retweeted a message from Mediks4Safty, "No limits on behind the wheel time or shift length. Medic drivers better than bus drivers."

The ambulance-themed tweets ended with, "It's decided. Great people for driving cross country without breaks."

Ambulances can't be refused

The candidate continued to trumpet ambulances when he called into a primetime cable news show.

"Did you know this Shawn, I am sure you did, but we got to make sure the people know this. My supporters are great. They will love this.

"Hospitals, that we have in every community in this great country — the greatest country in the history of the world — those hospitals can't refuse an ambulance," Trump said.

A Trump spokesperson could not confirm if Trump was referring to EMTALA, the federal law that requires anyone presenting to an emergency department to be stabilized and treated, regardless of their ability to pay, or some imagined regulation.

"If an ambulance comes to the doors, the hospital has to take that ambulance and anyone in it. That's great. So that's what we will do," Trump said.

"We'll drive those ambulances right up to the wall, the hugest wall that's ever been built by the way and it's going to get built, and look, you just got to take people in ambulance because you know they came by an ambulance."

EMS chiefs and ambulance company owners contacted for comment refused to answer on the record the availability of their ambulances for Trump's proposal.
