A woman whose son was killed by an illegal immigrant thanked Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Tuesday for drawing national attention to what she described as some cities’ fatal failure to uphold federal immigration law.
Testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday, Laura Wilkerson, whose 18-year-old son Josh Wilkerson was killed near Houston in 2010, urged Congress to “do something.”
“Quit sitting silently because it’s going to help you get a vote,” she said. “I thank you, Mr. Trump, for getting the message out.”
Ms. Wilkerson was one of several individuals who told the committee Tuesday their loved ones would still be alive if local authorities had been compelled to cooperate with federal immigration policy.

LOL, even in front of a Senate committee Trump is getting praise.
They must be wetting their diapers in DC over this.
Hearing them speak at the committee was worth the listen...and watching the representatives there as they spoke. Bill Reilly is also speaking out against illegal felons being left to wander in protected cities here etc. He has signatures which will soon be presented in Washington as well...with a push for laws and restrictions. Sure looks like “Popular” entertainers is the way to go when you want changes to be made.
Well I hold the Preezy and congress responsible. Just fricking enforce our immigration laws. They just lie and pander and they never feel any consequences for all the bad things that happen because of the lies and pandering.
BTTT
Everyone needs to hear what these families said today.
Donald Trump has given them a voice while most everyone else has been ignoring them.
God Bless Him for that.
Well that surprised me, I admit it. Good on her.
She is in shock or else she is a democrat. Thank Trump for what, for attacking Republicans every day.
Thank him for bringing attention to an issue that most Republican “leaders” are scared to discuss.
And a couple here, too.

Look at the Republicans he's attacking - they all deserve it, they all collude with the Dems, and everything he says is the Truth.
His enemies are all the right folks if one is on the conservative side and those who refuse to attack him for "acceptance with the Leftists" are the best hopes we have.
If that has your panties in a wad you might consider shopping for panties on the other side of the aisle.
I guess it might lend some perspective if you mentioned who you back/donate to as a candidate.
RE “...for what, for attacking Republicans every day...”
If they were real Republicans, he wouldn’t have to “attack” them. They’d be speaking up and doing their damn jobs, securing the border and deporting these criminals.
I read this morning that nationwide 62% of people wouldn’t vote for Trump - that’s between Repubs and Democraps, that if he ran against Hitlery he would lose. It made me realize this country isn’t in a mess because of the politicians, it’s in a mess because we are going through a moron apocalypse. The majority of people in this country are absolute morons who keep electing absolute morons. I mean how incredibly effed up is it that the majority of people would vote for Hillary who is one of if not THE most corrupt politician in this nations history over ANYBODY?? ESPECIALLY since she hasn’t give one single solitary interview since announcing her run? What interviews has she given? Her entire campaign in run in a bubble, she goes from town to town, spews her BS, then takes off without answering any questions. Meanwhile Donald Trump is granting multiple interviews every single day, free questions, nothing is off limits, and all he gets is crap for it. This country is BRAIN DEAD.
Wilkerson read aloud portions of the gut-wrenching autopsy: “‘This body is received in a grey body bag. There’s a tag on his toe that bears the name, Joshua Wilkerson. This is a white male weighing a hundred pounds. He is tied up with braided rope — 13 loops around his neck in a slipknot. It goes behind his back through his back belt loop. It goes to his hands and his feet, behind his body. He has multiple fractures in his face and nasal cavity. His throat and his voicebox are crushed.'”
Wilkerson took a deep breath and continued, looking at the senators before her with a steady gaze. “He was kicked so hard in the stomach that it sent his spleen into his spine, and sliced it in two… The medical examiner said it was torture.”
She returned to the text of the autopsy: “‘This body has significant skin loss on his buttocks, his abdomen, his penis, his hands, and his face. He has one stick of gum and a tardy slip in his pocket.”
True but never trust these “polls” when given out.
There is an abundance of morons, though.
Trump is attacking the Republicans who have been attacking and ignoring us everyday. He has plenty of time, he will get to the Democrats. I think I know what he is doing but I can’t say what it is because I do not want it to get out to the enemy. :^)
