The Mayor of San Juan Puerto Rico, Carmen Cruz,  joins me on the show to discuss the ongoing attacks against her by President Trump, who tweeted that she was "incompetent."  <br /><br />She says Trump is a "racist," who "stole" FEMA funds for his "vanity wall."  <br /><br />Luckily Puerto Rico was largely spared by Hurrican Dorian but Cruz says "We've survived three storms already:  Irma, Maria and the worst of them all... President Trump."

[American Grit] delves deeply into current events in America with a focus on immigration.  The host, Joe Gomez, has a unique perspective as he has followed the issue for over a decade as a radio news correspondent for CBS, NBC, and iHeartRadio.   In addition to his investigative work (going undercover into Juarez, Mexico to cover the drug wars) Gomez has worked on both sides of the battle for immigration reform as a lobbyist and advocate on Capitol Hill.
