El Paso shooting: An open letter from the city to President Trump
Dear Mr. President:
Today is a tragic day to visit El Paso.
Less than a week ago, 22 of our own were killed as they shopped in a neighborhood store, as they prepared for their weekends, as they provided for their families.
Most of them were from El Paso. Eight were from our sister city of Juárez, steps away.
Today, you will find us in the agony of our mourning.
The violence that pierced El Paso, drawing you here today, is not of our own community. An outsider came here to shatter our city, to murder our neighbors. A white man from another Texas city came to target the more than 80% of us who share Hispanic roots.
We are horrified to have witnessed this violence in our city.
This is not the El Paso we want the world to know. This is a city with a deep tradition of racial harmony. It is a city of warm, compassionate, patriotic, accepting residents who did not deserve this suffering.
