President Trump Delivers Remarks on Immigration With Angel Families

CTH: Earlier today President Donald Trump delivered remarks on the importance of immigration reform and border security during an event with victims of illegal alien crime. The Angel Families have lost family members as a result of crimes committed by those engaged in unlawful border crossing.

SNIP: Watch the video. There is powerful testimony from the families of illegal alien crime victims.

I was in a busy and noisy place today and I happened to notice President Trump was on with the Angel Families.
A particular woman’s speech caught my interest because she, like my mom, emigrated from Europe. LEGALLY.

MS. DURDEN: I’m one of your legal immigrants. I came the right way. I paid lots of money. It took me five years to become a citizen, a proud citizen. And I didn’t drag my son — he named himself “German Chocolate”; he was born in Germany — I didn’t drag him over borders, through deserts. I didn’t place him in harm’s way.

I protected my child from harm, but I couldn’t do that on July 12th, 2012. He was 30 years old. I couldn’t protect him because an illegal alien from Guatemala, with two felonies, one deportation, two DUIs — he was protected. Riverside, California: sanctuary. The judge, the DA, they knew who he was. They gave him probation after his second DUI. Five weeks later, he killed my child.

And if that wasn’t enough to deal with, this is my only child. I have no family. That’s it.

The public needs to know, and they deserve to know, that this could happen to each one of you at any given second. You hug your child, you send them off, no matter what age they are. And then you get that ugly phone call that will forever change your life. And thank God our President and Vice President, VOICE, my family at AVIAC, they rallied behind us — they were the only ones — and gave us a little light.

I was going to end my life; I had no purpose. But President Trump, coming down that escalator that day and talking about illegal immigration, stopped me in my track. And I had no clue at that point that I would ever be at the White House. And I thank President Trump, Vice President, everybody behind me — I thank you. I thank everybody out here. Make sure you get our stories out. I brought my son. This is what I have left — his ashes. I wear his ashes in a locket. This is how I get to hug my son.

So remember, when you go and hug your kids, that there are many of us, thousands of us, who don’t get to do that anymore. And let’s work together and get this done — all politicians. I don’t care what side you’re on. You don’t want your child in a casket or in an urn.

So get it together, for God’s sake, for this country, for our citizens.

Thank you.

Not only are there violent crime victims, but there are victims of financial crimes committed by illegal aliens, too.
Have you ever tried fighting the Social Security Administration, banks, or the IRS to clear your name, or your young child’s name, after your identity has been stolen by an illegal? Illegals are like ‘ghosts’. Protected ghosts.
