That's great for the city of El Paso and the Sun Bowl. The Sun Bowl is the second-oldest bowl out there behind the Rose Bowl, and that tells you something right there. A lot of bowl games have come and gone since the Sun Bowl has been around.

It looks like a dust bowl. We want to beautify it and bring it back.

I don't care if they want to come over, live and work and be an American. (But) come the right way and learn the culture, don't bring your culture. These people don't want to be Americans.
