Man whose daughter was killed by an illegal alien says Trump is right about the need for a wall

Dan Ferguson:
In his declaration of a national emergency on our southern border, President Trump recognized the Americans who experienced the consequences of that emergency firsthand: angel moms and dads.

I never expected I would be one of them.

My beautiful daughter, Mandy, was a 28-year-old sixth-grade teacher at Eastwood Heights Elementary School, and the center of our family. She was my world, she was my wife’s best friend and, most importantly, she was my baby girl.

On the morning of November 22, 2018 — Thanksgiving Day — a man who should never have been in our country drank several beers before getting behind the wheel of a car. He blew through two red lights at an intersection, killed my daughter, and changed our lives forever.

Surveillance footage shows that Mandy was using a crosswalk as she crossed the street. A witness described the sound of the impact as being so loud that he thought two vehicles had collided, not that a human being was struck. My daughter died on the spot.

The man, Joel Velazquez, didn’t even stop to render aid. He kept driving, then abandoned the vehicle and lied to the police, telling them his vehicle had been stolen to try to avoid being arrested.

Eventually, Velazquez admitted the truth.

Mandy was so badly injured that the police initially wouldn't let me see her body. We were eventually told that her legs were broken in multiple places and she had multiple skull fractures and broken ribs. My beautiful daughter, torn to pieces. That’s something my family and I have to live with every single day.

To makes things worse, shortly after Mandy’s funeral, we learned that the man who killed my daughter not only has an apparently criminal past, but was also in the country illegally.

There is much more.

The Democrats who oppose strong border security literally do not care about the victims of illegal immigrants.  They are seen as an inconvenience to their objective of importing future Democrats.  Nancy Pelosi does her best to ignore them as do some in the media who favor open borders.  El Paso officials actually opposed a new Texas law that made sanctuary jurisdiction illegal and forced the cooperated with ICE.  El Paso native Beto O'Rourke wants to remove the fence that is already in place.  This lack of care for the victims of criminal illegal aliens is a stain on the Democrat party.
