Send US Military to Seal Up Border, Angel Mom Says

I’m a mother, I’m a grandmother. I’ve already lost a child. I paid the ultimate price to this country, losing a child at the hand of an illegal alien, Mary Ann Mendoza had a special reason for attending the president’s Make America Great Again rally in Mesa, Arizona. She attended the Oct. 19 rally wearing a shirt with a printed headshot of her son. Her 32-year-old son, Sgt. Brandon Mendoza, was killed in a head-on collision with an illegal alien who was drunk, high on meth, and speeding. “Three times the legal limit drunk, high on meth, and he drove over 35 miles the wrong way on four different freeways and slammed head-on into my son.” Mary Ann Mendoza has been called: racist, Nazi pig, hate-filled. None of it’s true. “It has nothing to do with their skin color, their religion, their origin, where they’ve come from, what they’ve done in their past life—it has to do with the fact that they are illegally present in our country, and no other country in this world puts up with that.” Mendoza accused the media of not reporting on crimes committed by illegal aliens. Mendoza is part of a group known as “angel moms,” mothers whose children have been killed by illegal immigrants. Mendoza’s son encountered his killer in Arizona. Raul Silva-Corona ended up there after skipping court for previous convictions in Colorado. Mary Ann Mendoza has met President Trump on several occasions. She agrees with Trump’s latest statements on dealing with the Guatemalan and Honduran migrants seeking to force their way across the U.S. border. “I’m very excited about [Trump’s] latest thought … to take the military to the border and shut our borders down. He has that right, he has the ability, and he has to stop worrying about the ACLU and all these stupid organizations that file these lawsuits.” Increasing numbers of illegal aliens have been crossing the southwest border. Most are released into the interior of the United States. President Trump wants to change that. “We’re going to have the military stationed. They’re not coming into this country. They might as well turn back.” “I honestly blame it on our politicians who stand at a microphone and talk about how … we need to be welcoming these people with open arms. And wanting to give these people drivers licenses, and wanting to give them free benefits, and wanting to give them the ability to vote.” The border issue has taken center stage as both the migrant caravan and the midterm elections approach. The Democrats don't care about what their extremist immigration agenda will do to your communities, to your hospitals, what about your hospitals, and to your schools. The Democrats don't care that a flood of illegal immigration will bankrupt our country.” “[It was ] really nice just to be able to be free with my emotions and just get excited with the crowd about our president,” “I’m just so proud of what he does and how he stands up for me as an American citizen and everybody in this country.”
