Angel mom of slain officer: Schumer, Pelosi are ‘committing treasonous acts’ by not protecting us, Americans have woken up

(Video screenshots)“ Angel mom ” Mary Ann Mendoza, the mother of deceased Arizona police Sgt. Brandon Mendoza, knows what it feels like to lose a loved one because of the obstinate refusal by Democrats to simply allow America’s law enforcement officers to enforce the country’s immigration laws.
“On May 12, 2014, [Brandon] was on his way home from work, and a three-time legal limit drunk, repeat illegal alien criminal high on meth had driven over 35 miles the wrong way on four different freeways in Phoenix before slamming head-on into my son,” she said Saturday on Fox News .
Listen:
At the time of her son’s death in 2014, Mendoza noted that the man who killed her son had been able to do so because of Democrat-driven policies that allow criminal aliens to remain in America.
“The prosecutors were ‘lenient’ on him and several charges were dismissed,” she wrote in a letter at the time to then-President Barack Obama about the criminal history of her son’s killer.
“When he was convicted of these crimes in 1994 and the government knew he was in the country illegally, why wasn’t he deported? Why are any of these illegal criminals in this country?”
Four years later, not only do the same questions remain unanswered, but the same sorts of unnecessary tragedies keep occurring over and over again all across the country.
The latest tragedy happened in California, where last Wednesday, the day after Christmas, criminal alien suspect Gustavo Perez Arriaga opened fire on and murdered Newman Police Department Cpl. Ronil Singh, a legal immigrant, after Singh pulled him over for a traffic violation.
Just like with the man who murdered Mendoza’s son, it turns out that Arriaga had previously been arrested on other charges but never transferred into the custody of immigration authorities.
Arriaga had specifically benefited from the far left’s “sanctuary city” policies . Thanks to these policies, he was not transferred into the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement when local authorities arrested him two times in the past for driving under the influence.
But why do these policies exist? According to Mendoza, it’s because of Democrat political leaders like House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.
“I look at Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer that they’re actually committing treasonous acts against the American people when they are placing illegal aliens and their rights and their protection ahead of their fellow American citizens who have actually voted them into office and who are paying their salaries in D.C.,” she argued Saturday on Fox News.
“And every politician in D.C. should be listening closely to the American people right now because we have woken up, and we’re tired of the lies that come out of their mouth.”
“Nancy has the gall to stand in front of the camera and say, ‘Criminals don’t come over the border. They don’t bring diseases. They don’t bring crime.'”
Listen:
Both Pelosi and Schumer likewise bear responsibility for President Donald Trump’s inability to meet his campaign obligations and construct a much-needed wall along the U.S. southern border.
Two weeks ago House Republicans passed a spending bill that included funding for the wall. Because of obstruction by Pelosi and Schumer, the bill remains stalled while America’s border remains unsecured.
Democrats have defended this obstruction by trotting out arguments such as the claim that bona fide Americans allegedly commit more crimes than illegals. Why this is relevant is unclear.
“The acceptable amount of crime in our country committed against American citizens by illegal aliens is zero,” Mendoza noted. “The argument they commit less crime than Americans is a non-issue.”
It’s a non-issue because illegal aliens wouldn’t be able to commit any crimes in the first place were they not allowed to cross into the United States and set up shop in “sanctuary cities.”
“The amount of crime we should accept is zero. And this is just another death that’s added to the toll of tens of thousands of Americans who’ve been killed by illegal alien criminals in our country.”
While this valid point has been noted by conservatives numerous times, Democrats and their media allies refuse to acknowledge it. Instead, they’ve taken to attacking “angel parents” like Mendoza by portraying them as “hateful and obsessive racists for supporting stricter enforcement of immigration laws and harsh punishments for their kids’ murderers,” according to NewsBusters.
Yet despite the left’s narrative, it’s clear that a majority of Americans back “angel moms” like Mendoza, not to mention the man trying to bring them justice, President Trump.

Drunk drivers kill 10,000 people in the USA each year. Why is this ONE, grabbing so much attention? Yes it's tragic, but it's a drop in the bucket.
Oh wait, it's because the offender was an illegal. That somehow makes it worse than the other 9,999 that weren't committed by illegals? Where is the outrage about all the other drunk driver deaths? Oh that's right, we don't want to talk about those because there are not political talking points to be gained there.
Never let a tragedy go to waste. Nice job right wing media, way to jump up and down on someone's grave to score some lame political points. Disgusting and pathetic.
I agree with you, using this one death as a political ploy is dumb and disgusting. But don't make it a right wing thing as the other side does the same thing for their hot topics, like gun control. Hold the individual accountable and move on. And hold congress to fix the issues instead of playing their games with politics. There are too many problems in this country, we really don't need either side playing politics. We need serious people who will get down to working for the betterment of this country.
That is exactly the point I was trying to make. Agreed. +1
So why is THIS case national news?
But they need to face facts first, and the facts are a lot more serious than they wish to characterize.....
This article (and it's comments) is a perfect example, when confronted with facts of the illegal immigrant crime wave that destroy the meme of it being a minor issue, they are no where to be found....
Says everything you need to know......
I wish it was only one, and yes it is disgusting and pathetic, Below is the roll from ten years ago, I could go on but I hear that some do not like long postings. and this is just the Vehicular Homicide cases.
Want me to do one on the Rapes, Murders and Assaults?
ONLY ONE! who's got the blinders on?
It's going on all over the country, I don't believe that there is one single county nationwide who hasn't seen some sort of uptick in illegal immigrant crime.
Protecting the borders is one of the primary purposes of a national government. It's really not an option, for those who'd like America to exist in 2100. Ask the Romans how well opening the borders to migrant caravans worked out for them.
