    Can you blame the Latino residents of El Paso, many of whom ARE born and bred Americans

    He'll go to both El Paso and some random city in Ohio (it might be Dayton, but he won't know the difference)..

    You can't stop him.... just protest him, cities in mourning....

    There needs to be a Trump Baby Balloon available for quick rental at appearances like these...

    Trump didn't shoot anyone. They should be angry at the shooter.

    I bet you could break up that group with some ICE agents.

    Yes I can blame them. Trump didn't shoot anyone and he's not the one to blame. The one to blame is the shooter and no one else. Blaming anyone else is stupid and partisan.

    While Biden will be going to Houston and Michigan to pay his respects to the shooting victims.

    It's really sad that the left does not know the difference between legal and illegal immigration and of course the left believes only part of the manifesto if it feeds into their hate.

    Of course they lashed out at Trump.. the Left has been calling him a racist since he became Republican and EL Paso is a goofy liberal bastion.. (Free stuff!)

    Protesting the president for shootings that occur in cities is stupid.

    Everyone on this board who either lived in El Paso or currently lives close to El Paso raise their hands. Oh, wait, that would be me.

    Do you know what the Mexicans who are proud Americans refer to Mexican nationals as? Of course you don't, but I do. They refer to them as 'those dirty Mexicans.' Mexicans in El Paso are proud to be Americans, they have strong ties to Mexico, but don't want to be seen as being from Mexico because Mexico is a corrupt and murderous shithole. On top of that, most people in El Paso do not want their fence with Juarez torn down and they do not want illegals in this country. Like most things in America, 2 or 3 screaming liberals can out-shout 7 or 8 rational people and make it seem like the 7 or 8 don't county.

    El Paso has a gun culture, good luck taking their guns if you decide to try it.

    According to the left, Trump giving us the weather forecast is racist. You guys need to get over this racial stuff, it's dividing the country.

    Only if he said it’s raining Mexican rapist invaders.
    His racist BS is what’s dividing us, not pointing it out.

    The El Paso Mayor should BAR Trump from visiting the city.

    Those same proud Mexicans would have been shot in Baltimore, Detroit, St Louis, New Orleans, Chicago or Juarez and not a peep would have been said.

    Trump isn't the one who pulled the triggers, the other guy did but his kinda rhetoric inspired the shooter and Trump has more or less mocked Hispanics and Latinos even without the shooting so I can't blame them for being unhappy.

    Let me steal a line from you - how much did Clinton and the DNC pay that guy to shoot up El Paso?

    Now you know what your posts seem like to rational and unbiased people.

    You're right, I'm sorry. There are never any murders in Baltimore, Detroit, St Louis, New Orleans, Chicago and Juarez.

    How about saying a judge can’t be fair to him because he’s Mexican?
