Why this matters in The El Paso
El Pasoans watching the 2026 FIFA World Cup may feel a sense of unease when Donald Trump presents the trophy to the winning team. The city's diverse population, with strong ties to Mexico and other countries, may be particularly sensitive to Trump's past comments and actions towards certain nations. As a city with a significant immigrant population, El Paso may also take notice of the fact that the US team's success could be attributed to players like Folarin Balogun, who obtained citizenship by birth and may not have been eligible to play for the US if Trump's views on birthright citizenship had prevailed. This contrast between the city's values of inclusivity and diversity and Trump's "America First" policy may make for an uncomfortable moment for local soccer fans. The presentation of the trophy will be a moment to watch, not just for the outcome of the tournament, but also for the potential implications on the city's sense of identity and belonging.
