Congresswoman from El Paso says Trump is not welcome there

A United States congresswoman representing El Paso, Texas told President Trump to cancel his plans to visit the city, which was rocked by a mass shooting at a Walmart over the weekend.

"From my perspective, he is not welcome here. He should not come here while we are in mourning," said Rep. Veronica Escobar on MSNBC Monday morning. "I would encourage the president's staff members to have him do a little self-reflection. I would encourage them to show him his own words and his actions at the rallies."

Twenty-one people were shot and killed, and dozens more were injured in the incident. The suspect reportedly wrote a manifesto in which he explained he carried out the attack to push back an an "Hispanic immigrant invasion" of Texas.

This stupid person acts like it's President Trump's fault all this happened. How ignorant can she possibly get. He had no more idea this was going to happen than she did.

This IS a time for healing. Trump is not the enemy you stupid person (Mayor of El Paso). This is part of the problem, politicians fanning the flames of hate and partisanship. I watched the interview that included the head of the police in El Paso and he more or less said that the mayor was wrong and that he would welcome Trump and talk with him to work toward a solution. That is common sense not political bull crap.

If you guys don't understand why POTUS wouldn't be welcomed in El Paso, you need to put down those Eastern Shore opioids.

El Paso's economy has long depended on mexicans (immigrants and those who freely travel back and forth). The cultural boundaries there are close to non-existent. It was POTUS who trashed these people as being mostly drug dealers and rapists. How would you think he would be welcome down there now?

Folks in El Paso and many parts of the southern border are AGAINST Trump's wall plan. They don't want to lose rights to their private land, access to water, and they realize with their experience that the wall is probably a doofus idea. Again, why would they want to support Trump coming down for a campaign stop, which you know this is exactly what it will be (all politicians do it).

How about we build the wall north of ElPaso and then you will be happy😘

The wall would stop the influx of illegal aliens. El Paso is worried about the cheap labor they would lose. It has shit to do with humanity. It is all about economics. They have help to create this mess. As for Beto he also is only worried about getting elected. 8:39 have you ever been to El Paso they may as well roll up the U.S. flag. If you are not bi-lingual no need to go there. You dumbacrats amaze me lol

pssst, Kennedy and Reagan were shot. They tried to shoot Bush. And plenty of you claimed Obama wasn't your POTUS and threatened armed revolt. But don't let the facts get in the way of your fantasy world.

1239 you say "dumbacrats" but you don't seem to understand basic facts and history. Please find a single time post-Spanish and European settlement where that dynamic has not been present in areas like El Paso. LOL. No wonder you are too dumb to see all the facts that show a wall will not stop illegal immigration.
