A mother whose son was killed by an illegal immigrant has urged Donald Trump to ‘hold strong’ and build a wall along the US-Mexico border.
Maureen Maloney’s son Matthew Denice, 23, died in a crash caused by an Ecuadorian man who was in the US illegally in 2011.
Nicolas Guaman was drunk as he passed through a stop sign in his pick-up truck and struck Denice, who was riding a motorcycle.
He then attempted to flee the scene and ran over Denice, who became lodged in a wheel well.
Maloney recounted how her son was ‘dragged a quarter-mile to his death by an illegal alien while horrified witnesses were banging on his truck to stop him.’
Guaman was convicted in 2014 of manslaughter and is currently serving a 12 to 14-year sentence.
Denice’s mother Maureen said the proposed compromise deal to fund just $1.375 billion for new fencing along the border is not enough.
She will attend Capitol Hill in Washington D.C. on Wednesday with other families who lost their loved ones to illegal immigrants to speak to members of Congress.
She told the Boston Herald: ‘The Democrats need to listen to families who have lost loved ones. They need to hear us.
They need to hear from rape victims. They need to hear from parents who lost loved ones to drugs.’
Maloney also described her son as an ‘amazing, kind and caring person.’
She previously outlined the horrific details of Denice’s death at a rally held by Trump during his election campaign in 2016.
At that rally Trump promised that if elected, he would remove millions of people living in the United States illegally.
Her husband, Denice’s stepfather, went so far as to say Trump would have prevented the crime.
