El Paso (TX) Times: Hillary Clinton is the clear choice for President
Voters across the nation have distinct choices for president this year, but that divergence is most pronounced for those of us on the U.S.-Mexico border.
Hillary Clinton has deep experience in government – as first lady, as a senator and as secretary of state – in promoting international relations that are key in an increasingly interconnected world. Donald Trump has no such experience and has shown himself to be a bigot and xenophobe.
A Trump presidency would be a disaster for our country, and worse for those of us on the border. His promises to make Mexico pay for a needless wall between our nations, and his vow to unilaterally terminate vital trade agreements, would disrupt one of the United States’ most important international relationships and set the border economy back decades.
When he announced his candidacy, Trump made it clear that he would target immigrants – especially Mexican immigrants – to win votes. “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapist And some, I assume, are good people.”
El Paso can answer that barbarous lie in the Nov. 8 election.
