President Trump is doubling down. He acknowledges that we can solve the illegal immigration issue with heart, but he’s ALSO not afraid to speak out on behalf of the American people and those who have lost loved ones due to our lax immigration laws.
He recently gave Angel Families a much deserved platform.

"These are the stories that Democrats and people that are weak on immigration –they don't want to discuss, they don't want to hear, they don't want to see, they don't want to talk about," President Trump says https://t.co/aK4R8XyxD8 pic.twitter.com/lL4QeOhD3y

These are the stories MSM ignores. Trump wants everyone to hear them.
“We’re gathered today to hear directly from the American victims of illegal immigration. You know, you hear the other side, you never hear this side,” Trump said. “These are the American citizens permanently separated from their loved ones. The word ‘permanently’ being the word.”

An angel mom spoke out, and what she said struck me. She said she wasn’t lucky enough to be separated from her boy for five days. She’s been permanently separated.

Heavy.
Her story is just one of may. Where’s the left’s compassion for THEM? That’s what I want to know.

BTW– I follow a lot of these live events on Twitter and noticed something interesting this time around.
CBS News' feed is usually really good about quickly getting up clips of live events. But as soon as Trump stepped aside and Angel Parents started telling their stories– NOTHING. They haven't posted about the event for 18 minutes now.

Hey @CBSNews what's up? It's been 24 minutes now. Same goes for you, @abcnews.
And hey @CNN– why aren't you covering this live?
You people should be ashamed. #FakeNews #IllegalImmigration #AngelFamilies https://t.co/hFr4mFY99q
