I've seen this on Facebook, is it true?
So Mexico tried to send truckloads of food and aid to victims of hurricane Harvey like they did in Katrina but Trump denied them entry. denying foreign aid and making needy people dependent on your regime is a tenet of socialistic dictatorships. Adan Gonzalez Leyva
