Despite the shooting rampage in El Paso that appeared to target Hispanics, Mexicans are still crossing the international bridges to the Texan city, going to jobs, stores and schools, like always.

Commuters wait in traffic on the Paso del Norte bridge, as they enter El Paso, Texas, from Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, Tuesday, Aug. 6, 2019. Days after the attack in El Paso, community leaders in Ciudad Juarez didn’t talk of boycotting the city that depends heavily on Mexican shoppers. On the contrary, in the following days Mexicans have packed the international bridges going to jobs, stores and schools like always.

What fear some express about the attack is mixed with a practical concern that somehow the massacre may lead to longer wait times for entering El Paso. But even such a horrendous crime will not have a lasting impact on the relationship between the two cities, Rubio said. On Tuesday, wait times for vehicles entering El Paso from Juarez were still around the usual two hours plus. A steady stream of pedestrians flowed across the Paso del Norte bridge in the morning and a similar flow came in the reverse direction in the afternoon.

Graciela Pérez walked across to El Paso early Tuesday morning to shop as she does once a week. She had tried to go Monday, but the line was so long she put her journey off a day.

So were they supposed to be scared off from earning their honest pay and their children stopping getting education? They are still alive and have to do what they have to do to keep surviving in this crucial time. They’ve to be brave and continue to live.

Does AP expect people would consider quitting their jobs and schools over 1 mass shooter? And if so did AP ever consider that Mexican citizens are also more then occasionally shot on the Mexico side of the border so it’s not like Mexico super safe, El Paso = Beirut.

It’s called moving on. still stuck on 2016 election, should try it

I reported to work also, and went to Walmart. That is how combat hate, you keep living your life. For 8 years under Obama’s reign, I worked for corporations.

It's still worse where ever they came from.

Good grief AP. Just report real news instead of your biased agenda

What they supposed to do? Stay at home until 2020?

Nobody can stop life my scientific discovery. Not everything can be destroyed by men. Yet we live and continue the fight from sunrise to sundown.

PresidentTrump count with the opportunity to confront Democrats&republicans that have utilised for political gain, the HORRIBLE tragedies ofEl PasoTexas&Dayton, Ohio. It's necessary that politicians& media STOP feeding in irresponsible terms 24:HoursDaily racial&Political social÷

Seems his terrorism didn't work as he wanted. XD Mexicans had faced this and more over centuries. But never directed specifically against us, with an ideological fanaticism, and with terrorist purposes. This is new. AntiMexicanTerrorism. You may have just woken up the tiger. ;)

So despite the best efforts of the left to instigate a race war they really know the free violation of another nations laws means nothing

That’s good. Don’t ever let the White Supremacy try to defeat you. They will never win.

Looks like realDonaldTrump's nefarious tax cut plan contributing to record low Hispanic unemployment is winning over his nefarious white supremacist plan to eradicate Hispanics.

Like they have a choice?! This isn’t a catchy headline it’s more about the necessity to work than some magical courage recently found. They should have to live in fear invite first place the Constitution used to protect them

This appears to be responsible reporting...more or less. Less.

Of course, Mexico is far more violent than that. Not bias on AP, whatsoever

What on Earth are you going on about m8?

This happened in Texas. You know the kid was crazy because if he was truly looking for Hispanics to target, he didn’t need to drive 12 hours to do it. That alone proves his insanity. We are close to half Hispanic in Tx everywhere. He was simply crazy.

Wow. Crazy how some people have to show up for their jobs and feed their families.

What about the other shooting? The one who was apart of antics? Supported Elizabeth Warren? Wait... that doesn't fit the narrative, I remember that now.

Life never stops

Oh my God you actually said the words they come to the United States legally to work

Yet even after this and the second gunman in Ohio, the US will continue to spend lies money on mental illness for our own citizens.

unfollowtrump

Man, they live in Juarez, where they have gone thru years of feminicides, where the cartels have been slugging it out in the streets, and El Paso is still the safest nearby city.

Can’t really expect people to just stop living their lives. Or should they just stay at home and lock all the doors and windows like scared dogs?

Well actually there were 13 or 14 white people and seven Mexican nationals. I guess they meant illegal aliens. So no he didn’t go after the Mexicans.

This headline implies that Mexicans were supposed to stop living their lives forever? Wtf ?

Of course they are, they view America as just another territory of Mexico.

Wow people being people. Who knew?

Is this supposed to surprise anyone?

Well... the alternative is to stay in Mexico without a decent paying job so....

Well......duh. Why would it be different?

What choice do they have? That's where they have found work. People need to earn money somehow, and border towns have long made this a part of their economy.

They're far more likely to be killed in Ciudad Juarez.

And despite a president that wants to 'exterminate' Hispanics, right?

That APPEARED

What exactly dis you expect? For all mexicans to flee the usa? What kind of stupid title is this

Gotta live that sweet U.S. life

El Paso couple shopping for school supplies dies trying to shield their baby from gunfireJordan and Andre Anchondo brought their infant son to Walmart on Saturday as they shopped for school supplies. But only the little boy would survive the visit, their relatives told CNN. So deeply saddened that our presidents words killed this babies parents. 😢 MORE SHOOTINGS TO COME. Americans are apathetic to these killings . They love guns more than they love humanity. Guns are part of American identity and character. You cannot take it away from them. FACT How very sad! How old is the boy and are there relatives?
