A daughter lost her father, a wife lost her husband, and a country lost a hero because politicians refused to secure the border and enforce American immigration laws.
Pepperconchobhar tells the story of how her step-father, a Vietnam vet who earned a purple heart in Nam, was murdered by an illegal alien and essentially let go by the court system.
From pepperconchobhar:
So here's the thing.25 years ago my stepfather, the man who raised me, was a passenger with a co-worker on his way to work when an illegal (who'd been arrested twice before and let off) came onto the highway from the on ramp - drunk - and slammed into the side of my dad's car. This was just north of Albuquerque, New Mexico. This was before sanctuary cities were an official thing, but it was going on back then in a quiet way.
My dad's head injury was so bad that his brains were leaking out. He wasn't lucid, but he was screaming 'mommy!' for about an hour as they tried to save his life. He died right after they got him to the ER, still screaming for his mom. "Mommy!" was the last word that that middle-aged man ever said. He screamed it without pausing a hundred times as his brains spilled onto the gurney.
This was the man who raised me.
The cops arrested the illegal. The next morning the judge let him out with no bail. The bastard fled back to Mexico to dodge charges and nobody ever heard from him again.
My grandmother was devastated. Not only was her only son dead, but the son of a bitch would never face justice. Our family was left with a dead body and a flag and nothing else.
For 25 years I tried to bring attention to this bullshit situation and I was ignored until I finally just gave up. Nobody cared. If I tried to tell our story, I was a racist who was painting all 'dreamers' with a broad brush.
Then Trump arrived.
For the first time that I can remember, my family is being heard. Maria Espinoza personally reached out to me and listened. She had our future president's ear and she passed on our story.
Tomorrow I'm going to watch two laws be voted on that will spare other families the pain that mine has known. Kate's law and the law that cracks down on the sanctuary city bullshit.
Thank you, President Trump for hearing MY family. Thank you, pedes. For hearing common sense and for bring this issue into modern debate. Thank you all for standing by your countrymen and by our president.
There will never be justice for my family, but I pray that other parents and children won't know my pain.
You're all beautiful and I love you with all my heart. Thank you.
OMG. What a truly dreadful story. No family should have to go through this, made all the worse by knowing their loved one suffered terribly in the last moments of his short life.
Another death that never should have happened. Cause of death: liberals.
Usually, it’s the Kate Steinle case that sets me off into a barely controlled fury. If the facts of the case don’t outrage you, the arrogance of the public officials standing by their irresponsible sanctuaries city policies should do it.
It breaks my heart that this beautiful young woman’s last words were: Help me, daddy!
How is her father supposed to feel? Will he ever have a normal life again?
I think not.
So much suffering, all at the hands of liberals. Monsters.
I would have hunted the guy down and killed him SLOWLY!
There are only two choices on this matter. One is that these laws come into being and are fully enforced by the federal government to ensure justice is served when an illegal immigrant is accused of a crime. The other choice is simple vigilante justice that comes about when properly constituted authority fails in its duty.
...GLOBALIST barracks...as are REFUGEE centers
Work camps, where the inmates live in tents. Clearing brush, digging ditches, making pebbles out of big rocks, etc. by manual labor. And they can grow their own food too. Take everything they have made while illegal.
Aren’t we supposed to be getting a weekly list of crimes committed by persons in the US illegally? Seems like it would help get the wall built.
Freegards
Traitors like jorge busho consider such casualties as collateral damage in favor of the larger goal of globalization and his personal favorite, a North American Union. He’s the true enemy. All O’Dungheap did was to continue jorge’s legacy.
Well, we do have this wall that needs to be built
You have my family’s deepest condolences. Your father and your family deserved better from us.
Should have been addressed to Pepper.
How the hell these families avoid going on a vengeance spree is beyond me. I was raised to live by the feud.
Horrific, sad story. I am so sorry for this family. Sadly it happens far too often and we need to end it.
