TRump denies Mexican aid to Texas?

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

This to me sounds like one of those things that is as our illustrious leader would say, "fake news". As unfit as I find Trump to be, I cant believe he'd be this stupid to deny aid during a crisis.

and stupidity. He may be pressured to accept the help, though.

to deny aid, he doesn't care about the people of Houston, there are so many Latinos. I wouldn't be surprised if he sent ICE to the shelters to check their immigration status.

without clearance and coordination first. Suspect this is just another s*it-stirring story.
