President Donald Trump's border wall proposal leaves some Americans on the "Mexican side" -- technically on U.S. soil, but outside a barrier built north of the river separating the two countries. Landowners in the Rio Grande Valley, the sunny expanse of bilingual towns and farmland that form the southernmost point of the U.S.-Mexico border, already live on the other side of a border fence erected several years ago.
The last time U.S. officials built a barrier along the border with Mexico, they left an opening at the small road leading south to Pamela Taylor's home on the banks of the Rio Grande. Taylor hadn't been told where the fence would be built, and she doesn't know now whether officials are coming back to complete it.

US President Donald Trump lashed out at the protesters who took part in marches across the country yesterday to demand that he release his tax returns, declaring on Twitter that "the election is over!" Trump's comments followed a nationwide Tax March that drew thousands of people to dozens of cities on the country's traditionally recognised deadline to file taxes, April 15.

Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton hammered him on the subject.
President Donald Trump says "someone should look into who paid" for the rallies around the country Saturday that urged him to release his tax returns. Trump tweeted Sunday: "I did what was an almost an impossible thing to do for a Republican-easily won the Electoral College! Now Tax Returns are brought up again?" Trump was the first major-party nominee in more than 40 years not to release his returns and he reneged on a campaign commitment to release them.
