Woman Whose Son Was Killed By Illegal Immigrant Corners Nancy Pelosi on Sanctuary Cities

Top Democrat Nancy Pelosi held a town hall-style meeting on CNN and argued that ‘sanctuary cities’ make Americans safer, until a woman whose son was killed by an illegal immigrant destroyed that ludicrous claim.

“It makes us safer because people (illegals) can — can, go to school,” Pelosi said. “They can get driver’s licenses, be witnesses against other violence they see in the community.”

That’s when one woman challenged her, citing the violence she experienced in her own community, violence perpetrated against her own son by an illegal immigrant.

The woman is Laura Wilkerson, an “Angel Mom” who recently started an organization called Enforce the Law, which publicly advocates for enforcing America’s immigration laws, defunding sanctuary cities, and securing the border.

“You’re not only choosing to disavow a law,” the woman challenged, “but you are adding sanctuary to people who come there and disavow the law.”

“How do you reconcile in your head about allowing people to disavow the law?”

That’s when things truly got brutal, as the woman presented the second half of her question – Pelosi was floored!

Here’s the transcript of the question, which should be asked of every pro-amnesty politician:

“The second part of my question is this — if you need to go home tonight and line up your babies as you say, and your grand babies, which one of them could you look in their eyes today, and tell them that they’re expendable? For another foreign person to have a nicer life? Which one would you look to say, you, my child, are expendable for some one else to come over here and not follow the law? And have a nicer life?”

Wow. Isn’t that what it boils down to? Democrats view this woman’s son, or the Kate Steinles of the world, as expendable in an effort to make lives better for criminals crossing the border illegally.

Enforce the Law. It is mind-boggling that a mother like Wilkerson has to create such an organization in the first place.
