This week, the left and the media, but I repeat myself, have been totally fixated on turning a violent protester and agitator into a martyr. Every place you look, there has been endless sympathy and excuses. They won’t tell you anything about how Alex Pretti spit on cops or kicked out a tail light. They don’t think that is relevant. They don’t want to accept that he was anything other than a dear, caring VA nurse.
So, we decided we were going to end the week by honoring the people who actually do deserve to be honored, the true victims of illegal immigrants like the ones Alex Pretti and Renee Good were trying to protect. They were in the business, as agitators, of trying to spare child molesters, murderers, rapists, and DWI drivers, who happen to be here illegally, from law enforcement. Those are their cherished ‘victims.’ They don’t care about the true victims or they wouldn’t be doing this.
Celebrities like Eva Longoria, Ethan Hawk, Mark Ruffalo, Olivia Wild had no tears at all – not a one – for the Americans who have been killed by these illegals over the past several years. These are deaths that never should have happened. These people never should have been here. These are the victims that the national media ignores and these celebrities ignore. They are much more worried about the illegals who are murdering Americans than they are about the victims themselves. You are not going to see protest signs or viral songs in their honor – are you, Bruce Springsteen?
But their families are completely shattered. As you will see in the short tribute below, one parent says, “We we don’t get to celebrate Christmas with our child. We plant a Christmas tree on his grave… That’s permanent separation.” It is so well said. Think about it. We are told we are ‘separating families’ when the mother or father gets shipped back to their home country and the anchor baby stays behind. That parent can be with his or her American daughter or son in a second by bringing the child back with them.
These families don’t have that luxury. There is no place they can go to get their child, or spouse, or parent back because their lives were cut short by these law breakers who had no right to be here in the first place. And when they got here, same as when they came here, they completely disregarded our laws and the safety of the Americans who allowed them – wittingly or not – to call this place their home.
Here are just some of those who have lost their lives, the victims of America’s immigration crisis and the voices of the families forced to live with the consequences. Watch:
