<\/p>\nDemocrats are doubling down on demands that Congress protect \u201cDREAMers\u201d as part of any compromise to avert a government shutdown.\u00a0 House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has stated they \u201cwill not leave here, without a DACA fix.\u201d The threat from Pelosi comes as thousands of illegal alien activists stage displays of civil disobedience across the country to get lawmakers to push through a legislative amnesty.\u00a0 Many of them are DACA recipients who claim they\u2019ve been victimized by a broken immigration system.<\/p>\n
But who are the real victims?<\/p>\n
\u201cFamilies like mine don\u2019t have the option of skyping my son or emailing my son or calling him on the phone,\u201d says Maureen Maloney of Milford, MA, the mother of 23-year-old Matthew Denice who was killed by a criminal alien. \u201cIf these DACA recipients are sent back to their native country they can do that.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Maloney is a co-founder of AVIAC (Advocates for Victims of Illegal Alien Crime) and is no stranger to loss.\u00a0 Her son was killed in 2011 in a grisly car accident perpetrated by an illegal alien from Ecuador.<\/p>\n
Nicolas Guaman was driving drunk when he ran through a stop sign and hit Denice who was riding a motorcycle. Denice rolled over the hood of Guaman\u2019s truck and crashed into the windshield before Guaman ultimately fled the scene \u201cand when he fled Matthew was lodged underneath the truck and dragged a quarter of a mile to his death,\u201d says Maloney. \u201cWhile he was screaming there were witnesses, people were pounding on the truck trying to get the driver to stop.\u201d\u00a0 She says Denice finally became dislodged when Guaman hit a curve\u2026 but then he ran over Denice again. Guaman was convicted in 2014 of manslaughter and is currently serving a 12- to 14-year sentence.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf that illegal alien who killed my son wasn\u2019t in this country, my son would be alive, if these illegal aliens were not in the country all of our children would be alive.\u201d Maloney says she is confounded by the gridlock in Congress over amnesty for illegal aliens. \u201cIsn\u2019t it disgusting that they\u2019re willing to put the DACA recipients ahead of all the Americans in this county? They should be focusing on making American\u2019s safe.\u201d<\/p>\n
Open borders advocates have been flooding news outlets with stories about the \u201chardships\u201d that DACA recipients are going through.\u00a0 \u201cWe\u2019re so outnumbered and the media chooses to ignore the victims \u2013 the true victims of illegal alien crime,\u201d says Maloney.<\/p>\n
For families of illegal alien crime, they feel victimized twice.\u00a0 Once by the actual crime itself and a second time by a broken immigration system that allowed the perpetrator to stay in the country.\u00a0 The most recent example of that is the Kate Steinle case, where criminal alien Jose Ines Garcia Zarate (who had been deported five times) was acquitted in her killing. \u00a0Steinle\u2019s father says \u201cjustice was rendered but it was not served,\u201d<\/a> and the family refused to attend court during the verdict.<\/p>\n Maloney watched the case closely, because she too had to sit through a similar trial. \u201cThe things that come out in trial are things you never even think about as a parent,\u201d says Maloney. \u201cThe trial really does re-traumatize you because suddenly you\u2019re hearing about blood splatter, the fingerprints as (Matthew) is trying to claw his way up the hood, as he\u2019s trying to stop himself from being dragged.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt takes a couple of years to get over the shock.\u201d<\/p>\n https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/fairfederation\/fair-talks-to-angel-mom-maureen-maloney ![\"\"](\"http:\/\/live-immigrationreform.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Blog-Image2-300x245.jpg\")
