smonk, have you honestly not seen what is really going on at the border? There's hundreds of videos to watch instead of listening to the people lying to you.

It's ridiculous for you loons et al to continue to push this lie. Have you no sense or self respect at all?

By the way... the fact checkers said Trump lied about crime dropping in El Paso with the wall. Today the fact checker were called out for cheating. They used yr.s and numbers to suit what they wanted it to say.

Crime has dropped 20 percent since the wall. Trump did not lie. This is another example of Trump tells the truth, and fact checker make up things to get the results they need, and pass it on for you to sprew.
How do you stand yourself?

Fact checkers are fake news and worse.

The O'Rourke rally, according to organizers, will "show the country the reality of the border -- a vibrant, safe, binational community that proudly celebrates its culture, history, diversity and status as a city of immigrants."


"While some try to stoke fear and paranoia, to spread lies and a false narrative about the U.S.-Mexico border and to demand a 2,000 mile wall along it at a time of record safety and security, El Paso will come together for a march and celebration that highlights the truth," the release from O'Rourke adds, in a paper-thin veiled reference to Trump.

The O'Rourke rally, according to organizers, will "show the country the reality of the border -- a vibrant, safe, binational community that proudly celebrates its culture, history, diversity and status as a city of immigrants."

"While some try to stoke fear and paranoia, to spread lies and a false narrative about the U.S.-Mexico border and to demand a 2,000 mile wall along it at a time of record safety and security, El Paso will come together for a march and celebration that highlights the truth," the release from O'Rourke adds, in a paper-thin veiled reference to Trump.

While El Paso does now have a wall in some locations, its crime rate had already dropped substantially in the years prior to its construction in 2008, according to FBI's database provided by the El Paso Police Department. There were 3,662 violent crimes in the city in 1985, which declined to 2,574 by 2007. It has remained stagnant since.

Rep. Veronica Escobar, who succeeded O'Rourke in Congress representing the 16th District, sent a letter to Trump on Thursday calling for an apology to El Paso over the president's comments about the city in his State of the Union speech.

"My office stands ready to facilitate a visit and provide the information necessary for you to get the facts and understand the truth," she wrote.
