Mother of Son Killed by Illegal Looks Directly at Camera With Border Wall Message for Dems
A mother whose son was killed by an illegal immigrant pleaded with Democrats to stop playing “Russian roulette with our lives.”
Sabine Durden told “Fox & Friends” on Saturday that she applauds President Trump for standing his ground on border security.
“I’m giving him a standing ovation,” Durden said. “He’s doing what somebody should do for America who is in power.”
Durden’s son, Dominic, 30, a sheriff’s department dispatcher, was killed in July 2012 when an illegal immigrant drove a truck into his motorcycle in Moreno Valley, California, according to a KCAL report from the time. The driver, Juan Zacarias Tzun, already had two DUI arrests on his record and no driver’s license, according to the Press Enterprise of Riverside County.
“After I came out of my shock, I realized there are so many more that know my pain – that lost a child, father, husband, because of an illegal,” Durden told “Fox & Friends.”
Durden founded the Advocates for the Victims of Illegal Alien Crimes group. It is a part of the “Angel Families” network that advocates to prevent illegal immigrant crime.
Durden said Democrats should work with Trump for the sake of the country’s safety.
The Fox segment cited numbers from the Department of Homeland Security, which spoke to the level of criminality present at the Mexican-American border.
The figures show that in fiscal year 2018, the Border Patrol stopped 17,000 adults with criminal records, detained 6,000 gang members, 3,755 known or suspected terrorists, and seized 1.7 million pounds of narcotics.
Trump “needs to stand his ground. He promised us that,” Durden said. “All the politicians should actually stand with him instead of trying to dismiss him.
“It’s immoral not to build that wall and protect other Americans from having the same fate that I suffered.”
By contrast, recently elected House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has said that the border wall is “immoral” and doesn’t honor American values.
Durden appealed to Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer to “stop playing Russian roulette with our lives and get that wall built.”
Durden wondered how Pelosi could refuse funding for the border wall when she poured money into “other foreign governments.”
Durden asked Democratic leaders to be American heroes instead of bowing down to politics.
Check out the interview here. The whole thing is worth watching, but Durden is particularly moving beginning about the 3:55 mark.
“Here are the ashes of my son,” Durden said, holding up an urn. “Does Nancy or Chuck have to have the ashes of their loved ones before something is done?”
“It’s insane,” she said. “I think politics are being played big time … You have to love Americans more than you hate the president.”
That’s a message even Democrats should be able to understand.
