President Trump met with the ‘Angel Families’ and addressed the media’s hypocrisy:
President Trump on Friday blasted what he described as a media double standard on immigration, as he honored families whose loved ones were killed by illegal immigrants and accused the press of ignoring them to focus on the plight of migrants caught crossing the border.
After a week of saturation coverage on illegal immigrant parents separated from their children — a policy Trump reversed under public and political pressure — the president stressed that so-called Angel Families have been “permanently separated.”
The families, whose children and other relatives were killed by illegal immigrants, echoed that message during the White House event.
“You don’t hear these stories,” said Steve Ronnebeck, whose 21-year-old son Grant was killed by an illegal immigrant over a pack of cigarettes. “But this is permanent separation.”
The family members joined Trump and Vice President Pence at the event Friday, holding photos of their departed loved ones.
“These are the American citizens permanently separated from their loved ones. The word you have to think about is ‘permanently,’” Trump said Friday. “Because they were killed by illegal immigrants. These are the families that the media ignores. This is a very unfair situation.”
The president was making a clear attempt to underscore the stakes in his push to crack down on illegal immigration, while countering critical media coverage.
……Trump, though, accused the media and Democratic lawmakers of ignoring the other side of the issue — drug crimes, MS-13 gang activity and killings like the ones that tore apart the families that visited the White House on Friday.
“They don’t want to discuss, they don’t want to hear, they don’t want to see,” Trump said. “No major news networks go to their homes or put images of their loved ones on the nightly news.”
Trump added: “Where is the media outrage over the catch and release policy? Where is the condemnation of Democrats in sanctuary cities that release violent criminals into our communities?”
Trump praised the Angel Families, calling them “brave Americans.”
“Your loss will not have been in vain,” Trump said. “We will secure our borders and we will make sure they are properly taken care of. The word will get out. We’re going to have a safe country.”
One Angel mother, Laura Wilkerson, took the stage following the president’s remarks, describing the loss of her 18-year-old son Josh in 2010.
“Josh was brutally tortured, strangled over and over, set on fire after death. His last hours were brutal. None of our kids had a minute to say goodbye,” Wilkerson said. “We weren’t lucky enough to be separated for five days or 10 days. We are separated permanently.”
Wilkerson said when she wants to see her son, “we go to the cemetery.”
CNN and MSNBC can’t stand the inconvenient truth, so they cut away from the families’ testimony of loved ones killed by illegal aliens, switching to coverage of illegal alien families complaining about treatment at the border.
As for the claims of “asylum”: There are nine U.S. consulates and one U.S. embassy in Mexico where non-U.S. citizens can apply for asylum without being separated from their children.
The Dems were all for enforcing the immigration laws until they became political tools.
They’re illegals, regardless of what politically-inspired label they assign. They pour in and commit more crimes after they get here. They shouldn’t be here in the first place. We have laws, but the DemProg-created “sanctuary cities” keep breaking them.
Illegals have been receiving benefits like food stamps, welfare, free education, tax credits, medical care, and housing for years. Enough.
The U.S. has the right to control who enters the country. There is no Constitutional or legal right for a foreigner to enter the U.S. It’s a privilege. Every country has immigration laws, travel laws, and borders.
I like how Dwight Eisenhower handled the illegal alien problem; a military-directed operation with a no-nonsense approach to kicking out and keeping out illegal aliens. Round them up, send them home.
Enforce the law
Deport illegals
Establish a vetting process for all foreign immigrants
Build the wall
