'Angel Families' Defend Trump Immigration Moves

(22 Jun 2018) Amid growing concern over depictions of terrified migrant children separated from their parents, President Donald Trump highlighted who he asserted are the real victims of the nation's immigration crisis -- families of Americans been killed by those who crossed the border unlawfully. Trump invited a number of what he calls "Angel families" to the White House Friday to share their stories of loss at the hands of illegal immigrants. The event was an effort to hit back against the storm of criticism sparked by the forced separation of children from their parents after illegal border crossings. Trump focused on families whose loved ones have been killed, saying they had been "permanently separated." In conversations with some of the family members following the event, they expressed fervent support for Trump's immigration policies, saying they are "much needed" and long overdue. Agnes Gibboney, whose son Ronald da Silva was shot and killed by a gang member illegally in the country, said her country has let her down. "Because they didn't protect our borders, my son is dead," she said. Asked how she feels about the controversy surrounding children being separated from their migrant parents who try to cross the border, Gibboney said she "feels bad for the children, because they are innocent victims."  But she said "their parents created their situation, not President Trump." That staunch defense of the president was underscored by Juan Pina, whose 14-year-old daughter was allegedly raped and murdered by a person in the country illegally. Pina said he has no problems with immigrants coming to the United States.  But he urges them to "do it legally." "Do everything the right way and we got it. Everything should be ok. But when you do wrong, when you're not doing things right, then we got a problem."
