Joseph Moody's Address on Texas Bill Impacting El Paso and Mexico Relations

Published | Video Starts at 02:27

We call it that for a reason. I've heard it described by a poet as the two cities are lungs breathing in the same body. They rise and they fall together. There are 80, 90,000 people that live and work in El Paso, that live in El Paso, that go work across in Juarez every day and vice versa. There are Mexicans that own property in El Paso. They're business partners of the people in El Paso. They make our community thrive. (02:27–02:37)
