Advocate For Victims Of Illegal Aliens: Trump's Message 'Resonates With All Demographics'

Maria Espinoza, the passionate national director of The Remembrance Project in Houston, TX, was in Washington, D.C. recently to announce November 1 as the groupâ€™s annual memorial day for The National Remembrance Day for the Victims Killed By Illegal Aliens.

Espinoza calls on Washington to â€œplace Americans firstâ€ as â€œAmericans are being killed by people who shouldnâ€™t even be here.â€

Recalling what the father of slain 18-year-old Joshua Wilkerson told Espinoza about his own experience, that if Americans canâ€™t put Americans first, they should be prepared to â€œgo home and gather your children and choose the one you will sacrifice.â€

The familyâ€™s tortured experience with losing their son to an illegal alien even prompted Laura Wilkerson to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee on July 21. But the grief from reliving the trauma was so much, her husband collapsed in the room.

The Remembrance Project has 30 state chapters and uses three feet by six feet banners, depicting the faces of the Americans fallen to raise awareness of the lives lost by illegal aliens through their â€œStolen Lives Quiltâ€ initiative.

These families, who have their â€œown personal 9/11 of awakening and devastation,â€ as the Wilkersons describe it, feel that open borders are taking their family members away. They blame policy makers who are not keeping Americans safe, as they follow controversial advice by consultants and pollsters who believe open borders or loose immigration is what helps politicians win Hispanic voters.

For Espinoza, who some call a liberty-loving Latino, it is â€œoffensive to pander to lawlessness.â€

When asked who has hurt and helped their effort the most, she credits the families themselves who speak out simply so that other lives could be saved.

She also credits presidential candidate, Donald Trump, who effectively and finally brought these tragedies to the public square.

The past few days of Trump topics:

Met her once. Learned why she started the Remembrance Project (IIRC it was due to an illegal immigrant causing the death of her mother in an automobile accident) and she seemed like the real deal. Very respectful and dedicated to her cause. We need more like her that are legal Hispanic immigrants that understand why illegal immigration destroys a country.

It’s not bad — before signing on the list of Latest Topics is longer, so grabbing the source pages into one file, then running a little program on it to pull out the link lines and processing out some crud characters; then running another program to look for specific words (up to a couple dozen), and if needed another program to eliminate duplicates, and it really doesn’t take all that long. :’)

Thanks all!

Hey thanks very much.

I don’t know how folks can look at that list and pass it all off as him faking.

There’s way too much there on many topics for if to all be a ruse.

He has an uncanny ability to pick the issues that are important, focus on them with sincerity, and propose common-sense solutions. This is why Donald Trump is going to become the next President of the United States.
