Democratic presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke plans to hold a major rally in El Paso, Texas on Saturday.
Democratic presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke will hold a major rally in El Paso, Texas, on Saturday, a city thrust to the center of America's immigration debate by President Donald Trump and the U.S government this week.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Kevin K. McAleenan told a news conference in El Paso on Wednesday the southern border system was at breaking point because of the number of illegal immigrants crossing the border each day. Trump and O'Rourke held dueling rallies in February in El Paso, which is already divided from Mexico by steel fencing.
O'Rourke, 46, competes in a large Democratic field. More than a dozen candidates have joined the fight to become the candidate to take on Trump in 2020.
