want him to come.
joining me now is texas state
representative mary gonzalez.
she represents el paso county at
the state capitol.
you're also the vice chairwoman
of the mexican-american
legislative caucus.
on the question of the
president, we've heard mixed
reaction from folks.
the mayor said this shouldn't be
seen as a political visit.
do you think the president
should come here tomorrow?
>> as a state representative, my
first thought is the healing of
my community.
what we hear from the majority
of the people here in the
community is that it will
interrupt their healing.
el paso is the most welcoming
and loving community in
literally the entire country.
i think maybe under different
circumstances there would be a
different reaction, but right
now all we want to take care of
is the families who were
traumatized, the community that
is still healing.
we don't really -- a lot of
people don't believe that his
visit will really support those
efforts.
