Rising Texas Democratic star Beto O’Rourke held a competing rally just half a mile from Donald Trump’s campaign event in El Paso on Monday night, and he blew the president out of the water with a message of unity and optimism.
While Trump stuck to his usual r****t campaign strategy of demonizing immigrants, O’Rourke leaned heavily on the same optimistic message that helped him come within three points of unseating Texas Sen. Ted Cruz last November.
“We can show the rest of the country, as we make our stand here together tonight, that walls do not make us safer,” O’Rourke said before a raucous crowd. “We stand for America, and we stand against walls.”

O’Rourke said:
Walls do not make us safer. Walls will require us to take someone’s property, their house, their farm, their ranch, to build a wall at a time of record-low northbound apprehensions, at a time that El Paso is not the outlier in the cities on the border. … The U.S. cities of the U.S.-Mexico border are far safer than the U.S. cities deeper in the interior of the United States of America.

Walls do not save lives. Walls end lives. In the last 10 years, more than 4,000 children, women and men have died trying to come to this country, to work jobs that no one will take, to be with a family member, to flee horrific brutality and violence and death in their home countries.
O’Rourke also took a sledgehammer to the president’s lies about his home city, saying that it’s safe, “not because of walls, but in spite of walls; secure because we treat one another with dignity and respect. ”----MORE---

O’Rourke beat Trump on his signature issue

Donald Trump has made immigration and his proposed vanity wall on the southern border the centerpiece of his political career. Heck, he kept the government shut down for 35 days over the issue.
While a majority of Americans have consistently opposed the president’s d******e approach to immigration, he has still had success in hijacking the issue and using it to mobilize his base of v**ers.---MORE---
