The mother of a woman who police say was killed in a collision by an undocumented immigrant is supporting Donald Trump, despite voting for Barack Obama in the last two presidential elections.

Michelle Root told The World-Herald that Trump’s campaign workers had reached out to her a couple of weeks after her daughter was killed. Sarah Root, 21, died on Jan. 31, a day after her graduation from Bellevue University, when Eswin Mejia drove drunk and slammed his truck into her car, Omaha police have said.

Mejia, 19, is from Honduras and came to the country illegally. He posted $5,000 bail and has been named to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency’s most wanted list.

“...an undocumented immigrant...”

There is no such thing as an “undocumented immigrant”...

There are only LEGAL immigrants and ILLEGAL immigrants...

The ILLEGAL immigrants need to be thrown out of the country and locked away in a place, say, like GITMO, if they return.....

Not even illegal immigrants.

Illegal aliens.

I realize you're pointing out a big part of the problem: A press that won't even use the proper terminology.

Sorry for this lady’s grief; she needs to study politics.

Last week I went over to Ashville NC for the day...(about 190 miles)

I was driving along I-40 coming back in the late afternoon and was still on the NC side..(Ashville is about 50 miles East of the state line)

I was coming through the mountains and its very windy at that stretch for about 50 miles...you have to go slow...

I was in a line of cars passing some trucks and at my left was a solid concrete wall about the height of my vehicle..

at the back of the last semi truck was a small truck, a beat up pick up..the 3 cars in front of me passed him and the 3, 4 big trucks no problem but as I drew level with the pick up he suddenly come at me and was aiming for my right side..

It’s a good thing I was looking or I would not have seen him and I would have ended up smashed against the concrete wall...there was nowhere to go..

I tooted my horn long and loud and he stopped his advance a hair’s breathe away ...must have been the angels...

I looked at the driver as I passed him..a Mexican ..

I was thoroughly POed...

One of Sarah’s friends had asked for prayers on FR. We have been following this story. God bless them all.
