Trump and Beto O'Rourke hold dueling rallies on immigration in El Paso
EL PASO, Texas - Undaunted by his past failures, President Donald Trump on Monday again headed south to the border with Mexico to make his case to spend billions of federal dollars for a wall there, hoping to put Democrats in Washington on the defensive as another partial government shutdown looms.
Yet awaiting him in El Paso were residents fuming over the president's false characterization of their city as a former hotbed of violence during his State of the Union address last week. That sparked plans for protest marches and rallies that will give the area's former congressman, Democrat Beto O'Rourke, a prime-time national platform as he considers a presidential campaign to challenge Trump.
