"As the mother to a son killed by an illegal immigrant felon, I am so glad that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was able to find time in her busy schedule to hang out with celebrity chef Jose Andres and distribute free gourmet meals to furloughed federal workers in Washington, D.C.
Pelosi was too busy to meet with me or any of the other angel mothers who came to Capitol Hill a week earlier to share our stolen loved one’s stories. Apparently, pressing duties kept her from hearing about our experience with the border crisis that let our children’s killers into our country and then protected them from deportation.
But I understand. It was far more important for the speaker of the House to meet with the real victims of the crisis on the southern border: the federal employees who have missed one or, in some cases, two paychecks. After all, what is the loss of a son or a daughter or a husband compared to a delay in paying government workers?"

OPINION: Nancy Pelosi Was Too Busy To Meet About My Dead Son, But Not To Hang Out With Jose Andres

This exploitation of the parents of children killed by illegal immigrants is the most partisan,venally corrupt and misleading exploitation of grieving parents since the GOP paraded the families of some of those killed in Benghazi at the RNC and used them to promote the idea that Hillary Clinton was to blame for their deaths.
From threatening to throw her in jail if she didn't recant her sworn affidavit that Bill Clinton had never assaulted or raped her, and bullying Anita Broaddrick into recanting that affidavit by threatening to throw her into jail if she didn't, to causing Monica Lewinsky to consider suicide, the GOP has continuously demonstrated that there is no limit to the depths they will sink to in order to smear the opposition.
