Live: Trump visits the U.S.-Mexico border at Calexico

Air Force One landed in El Centro at 11:37 a.m. With him were several members of Congress, including GOP Reps. Kevin McCarthy of Bakersfield, Ken Calvert of Corona and Mike D. Rogers of Alabama, as well as Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Kevin McAleenan. Trump stepped out of Air Force One and was greeted by cheers. The president walked toward the crowd of reporters and supporters, giving them a thumbs up and shaking hands with some.

“I’m happy people showed up,” said Maribel Padilla, co-founder of the Brown Bag Coalition, a non-profit organization that feeds the homeless, as she snapped a photo of the crowd. “We need a little more of that, and what pains me the most are Latinos who don’t care about this enough,” she said. “It’s all about safety for me, there are too many drugs coming through the country,” said Joe Rivas, 60, of El Centro.“People are overdosing everyday,” he said.

Among them was Suzie Newell, 64, who held a small sign with a picture of two hands, tattooed with the Mexican and American flags, shaking hands over a barbed-wire fence. It read, “Two Countries and One community.” “The farm workers who cross to work the fields won’t be able to work,” he said. “People come here with the intention to work and have an opportunity at a better life, not to commit crimes,” he said.

On Jan. 13, 1990, Donald Trump arrived at the once-glamorous Ambassador Hotel for a major announcement: Here on Los Angeles' Wilshire Boulevard, Trump said, he would build the tallest building in the world. “People were just afraid to cross over,” Guerrera said. “You saw military soldiers all over with guns.”

But border and elected officials in Calexico said efforts to replace that specific portion of the fence were already in the works when President Obama was in office.

kentnish He shut down the 405 to campaign in a city where no one likes him. Funny right? He’s not welcome here.
