(8 Aug 2019) As Leopoldo Mendoza prepared to bury his younger sister Elsa Thursday in Ciudad Juárez he couldn't help but draw a line between the killing of his sister and 21 others and the rhetoric of President Donald Trump.
"This is purely a consequence of the President of the United States being racist toward Mexicans," Mendoza said.
Mendoza said his sister, a teacher and most recently elementary school principal, who had dual nationality in the U.S. and Mexico, was a beautiful person he spoke to a daily basis. Elsa Mendoza was "pure love," he said.
The body of Elsa Mendoza Márquez who was killed on the massive shooting at El Paso returned to Juárez on Wednesday to be buried
at the cemetery Recinto de la Oración.
Mendoza was at Walmart when Patrick Crusius arrived and shotted against the clients and workers in the mall.
22 people dead and 24 injured were the result of this massive killing.
Some Democrats and residents of El Paso say Trump's fiery rhetoric has fostered the kind of anti-immigrant hatred that could have contributed to Saturday's attack. The suspected gunman apparently wrote an anti-Hispanic rant before the attack.
The foreign minister of Mexico, Marcelo Ebrard, announced that the government of Mexico will meet with high officials from United States to talk about the research regarding the shooting during which 8 Mexicans died.
