(It has been confirmed)...The White House has issued a statement.

It says President Trump will be visiting Calexico this Friday. The President will participate in a round-table discussion with Law Enforcement and he will tour the recently constructed border fence near the Gran Plaza. That section of fence replaced an old, broken down section of fence that was not serving its purpose. The visit brings controversy. It is on the heals of the Presidents comments about shutting down the border to punish Mexico for allowing Central Americans to enter Mexico illegally in order to travel to the United States. Sources on both sides of the border say closing the International Border would be an economic disaster for Mexico and the United States, as well. Residents in Calexico, including former City Councilmember Maritza Hurtado, have announced plans to organize a protest against the President and his policies.
