El Paso residents have been signing their names to an online letter telling President Donald Trump in no uncertain terms that he is not welcome in their city after their Mayor, Dee Margo, announced that the U.S. leader would likely be visiting on Wednesday in the wake of Saturday's mass shooting.
Drafted by immigration advocacy group Border Network For Human Rights, the letter asks Trump to "stay away" from El Paso, before blaming his "rhetoric" and "actions" for having "led us to this terrible moment."
"We, the undersigned, organizations and individuals who make El Paso and Southern New Mexico our home, and our friends and allies across this great land, send you this letter in the hope that, in the aftermath of this heinous crime, you will NOT come to El Paso, our home," the letter begins.
"This is a time of intense grief and mourning, and we appreciate the impulse to comfort the kin of those killed and wounded—however, your presence would bring no comfort, no respite from the pain so brutally and callously imposed upon us. We ask, instead, for your absence. We say this because we recognize that it is your rhetoric and your actions that led us to this terrible moment. This shooter was inspired by your words and your attitudes."

Chump only wants to go when it's a rally in his honor. This very solemn occasion won't be a rally, and he'll piss people off when he tries to make it all about him.
