Mom Whose Son Was Killed By Illegal Immigrant Just Sums Up in 2 Words Why Trump is Gaining Support
BY PARKER LEE (1 DAY AGO)
During his final State of the Union address Tuesday night, President Obama spoke very briefly about the influx of individuals crossing America’s borders illegally, referring to the issues only once as a “broken immigration system.”
Following the address, Mary Ann Mendoza – whose police officer son, Sgt. Brandon Mendoza, was killed in a head-on collision with a drunk driver who was in the U.S. illegally – explained to Fox and Friends how she feels about his actions.
Ms. Mendoza stated that she’s never heard the president acknowledge that the United States has a “border problem.” Mendoza believes one reason is it would be an admission that Donald Trump is vocalizing a concern that a lot of Americans have about the nation’s lack of border security.
She also said about her son, fallen police Sgt Brandon Mendoza, that “his life mattered.”
Earlier, Mendoza wrote an open letter to President Barack Obama about her son’s life:
“President Obama,
“I am writing this letter to you regarding illegal immigrants.
“As a tax paying, law abiding citizen of the United States, I WANT my voice heard on this issue. My son, Sergeant Brandon Mendoza, an officer who was with the City of Mesa, Arizona police department, was killed in a tragic head on collision on May 12, 2014 by a wrong way driver on our freeways. This man happened to be an illegal immigrant, was in this country illegally, convicted of previous crimes, no Social Security number, no valid driver’s license BUT he had purchased a vehicle and registered it to drive in Maricopa County Arizona.
“I had my son’s life STOLEN from me by a man who didn’t value his life, was 3X the legal limit drunk, was high on Meth, drove for over 35 miles THE WRONG WAY on 4 different freeways and had NO BUSINESS BEING IN THIS COUNTRY!!!”
She continued on, as related by CBS 5 News:
“I am furious that the Federal Government allowed this criminal to stay in this country and KILL my son! I have attached several articles for you to PERSONALLY read about my son. He was an Icon with the City of Mesa Police Department. He was instrumental in making life better for people of all walks of life in the park project he took on. He was humble, selfless, worked many hours off the clock helping disadvantaged children and often used his own money to do things for the community, including “adopting” children at Christmas to provide them with gifts….out of his own money!!
Ms. Mendoza concluded her open letter:
“I want laws to change that would not allow illegal immigrants to purchase vehicles in our country and register them to drive them in our states WITHOUT having driver’s licenses to drive them legally. How is this happening??? I want laws changed that will force the removal of illegal immigrants who break our laws. This man, this repeated law breaker, was allowed to be released and he continued breaking the laws in our country until what???? UNTIL HE WAS STOPPED BY MY SON IN A HEAD ON COLLISION THAT NEVER SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED!!!! HE KILLED AN OFFICER OF THE LAW AS HIS LAST ACT!!! When are you going to see the flip side to this issue? When will you realize the hurt and pain and destruction these illegal immigrants who break the law will continue to cause???? Until you live in a state that deals with this on a daily basis, you will not understand it.
“I want answers that make sense. I want answers from you personally as to why this criminal was allowed to stay in our country until he took my son’s life.
“Sincerely,
“Mary Ann Mendoza”
It may be easy for politicians in Washington D.C. or businessmen in cities far away from the border to dismiss the “border problem,” but as this mother’s heartfelt letter expresses, the consequences of doing nothing about border security are all-too-real.
