Reporter the explosion followed a similar blast at a nearby chemical Storage Facility two weeks ago.

The president renewed his threat to close the southern border today, saying security is more important than trade. That was met with a sharp response by the senates top republican. Manuel bojorquez is at the border in el paso. Im ready to close it. Reporter this afternoon, the president doubled down on his threat to shut the border, but this time blamed congress for the immigration crisis. If we dont make a deal with congress, the border is going to be closed. Reporter according to government statistics, the u. S. Does some 600 billion in trade with mexico a year, much of it crossing by land. The president says stopping the surge of illegal immigration is his top priority. Let me just give you a little secret security is more important to me than trade. Reporter Republican Senate leader Mitch Mcconnell urged the president to go slow. Closing down the border would have potentially catastrophic Economic Impact on our country and i would hope we would not be doing that sort of thing. Reporter while the administration is looking at easing the worst of the economic effects, for example, keeping truck lanes open, critics of a shutdown say any disruption at the border could hit consumers quickly. Take food, for example. Approximately half of vegetables and 40 of fruits imported to the u. S. Come from mexico each year. By one estimate the supply of avocados would be gone in three weeks. It would be potentially devastating. Reporter jon barella is c. E. O. Of the El Paso Borderplex alliance. He says the Ripple Effect could spread across the country. For example, people making autos up there rely on parts coming up and down through these borders here. There is an integrated and very sophisticated supply chain tuats been developed from everything from agriculture to automobile manufacturing. Reporter its so integrated that the center for Automotive Research says a total shutdown could halt auto production in the u. S. Within a week, impacting at least one million jobs. Uncertainty is the enemy of jobs and economic development, and just the threat right now is creating that air of uncertainty. Reporter thats because even if the white house exempts commercial trade from the shutdown, thousands who cross the border legally every day to work jobs like manufacturing and construction could still be blocked. Jeff . Glor manny with more on that uncertainty at the border. Manuel, thank you very much.

There was a huge bank of cameras, about 50, and joe, who knows her, leaned forward and whispered some encouragement, telling her she was doing great and that she looked wonderful. Did his actions make her feel uncomfortable . No, my children have known joe biden their whole lives. Reporter but with a president ial bid on the line, mr. Bidens intimate style is now taking a toll. Do i consider it inappropriate to smell someones hair, to get so close that i smell their hair . Yes reporter tonight two more women told the New York Times that mr. Biden touched them in unwanted ways. Kaitlyn caruso said mr. Biden rested his hands on her thigh, even as she squirmed to show her discomfort, and d. J. Hill said the thenVice President put his hand on her shoulder and started cropping it down her bark which made her very uncomfortable. That brings the total number of women to four. Reporter as mr. Biden seemed pushed back, issuing quotes from female friends, aides, and colleagues who said he never once crossed the line. Mr. Biden himself said it was never his intention to anyone uncomfortable. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi took her longtime ally to task today, urging him to say more. To say, im sorry that you were offended is not an apology. Reporter pelosi added that none of this disqualifies mr. Biden from a white house bid, but she did suggest that he join her in what she calls a straightarm club, keeping at least this much distance between himself and colleagues and supporters so that there are no awkward moments in the first place, jeff.

The citys finances are a mess, income inequality is obvious, seemingly intractable violence haunts the poorest neighborhoods, as does animosity towards the Police Patrolling them. Change for some people is really hard, but change in our city, and particularly our Police Department is mission critical. Reporter polls showed lightfoot well ahead during this runoff campaign, and this outcome is not surprising. So on may 20, 56yearold Laurie Lightfoot will become the 56th mayor of the city of chicago. Jeff. Glor all right Dean Reynolds at lightfoot headquarters tonight, thank you. In his final week in office, f. D. A.
