Angel Families thank Trump in new Thanksgiving video for his border security efforts: 'We appreciate you'

[ChromaCobra]

President Trump has received an outpouring of gratitude from families who have lost loved ones to crimes tied to the US-Mexico border crisis, according to a new video released by the American Border Story (TABS) organization. The 11-minute video, which features country music artist Alexis Wilkins and more than a dozen messages from Angel Families – those who have experienced tragic losses as a direct result of the border crisis – expresses heartfelt thanks for President Trump's tough stance on immigration enforcement.

In one poignant message, Joe Abraham, whose 20-year-old daughter Katie was killed in a drunken-driving accident caused by an undocumented immigrant, expressed his gratitude to President Trump for prioritizing border security and keeping his community safe. "We hope you continue the dedication towards that... We really don't want any other families to have to suffer the pain and despair that we're going through right now. So keep it up, and we appreciate you," Abraham said.

Similarly, Anne Fundner, whose 15-year-old son Weston died from fentanyl poisoning, thanked President Trump for his "courage, strength, determination, and love for our country." She called him "the greatest president America has ever had" and expressed her gratitude for his efforts to secure the border. "You spoke his name with honor and reminded me that Weston is looking down so proud," Fundner said.

Other families who have lost loved ones to crimes tied to the border crisis – including Debbie Santini, Kim Novak, Greg Crews, Lupe Morfin, Angie Morfin, Jane Gray, Laura Wilkerson, Chris Odette, April Babcock, Kathy Hall, Jody Jones, Donald DeQuardo, Wanda DeQuardo, Marie Vega, Javier Vega, Rebecca Elmaksoud, Anatoly Varfolomeev, Uloma Anyanwu, and Tena Pruitt – also extended their thanks to President Trump for his efforts.

The video is a powerful reminder of the devastating consequences of "soft-on-crime" policies and the importance of prioritizing border security. In closing, Wilkins thanked the Trump administration for its efforts on behalf of families affected by the crisis and expressed gratitude for the progress made in infrastructure, legislation, and justice.

I'm not sure I buy this... The fact that President Trump is getting all this gratitude from these families just seems like a clever PR stunt to me . I mean, come on, 11-minute video with country music? It's just so... cheesy . And the messages from these families? Yeah, they're heartfelt and all that, but aren't we expecting a bit more nuance here? I'm sure not every single one of these deaths was directly caused by the border crisis. Let's not oversimplify this issue .

And what about the folks who are actually living on the border, in those super tough conditions ? Don't they deserve some gratitude too? The video just feels like a one-sided love fest with President Trump . Where's the push for meaningful policy change or concrete solutions to address these issues?

omg can you believe these families are actually thanking trump for their loved ones getting killed ‍‍ i mean i get it they're trying to express gratitude but is it really that hard to admit that the border crisis has devastating consequences? i feel bad for them but shouldn't we be working towards solutions instead of just praising the person in charge? and what's with all these messages from people who lost loved ones to drunk driving accidents or fentanyl poisoning... shouldn't we be focusing on fixing those issues too?

I'm literally shaking right now... watching this video from TABS is like a punch to the gut but also kinda the most appreciated thing anyone's ever done for me . I mean, I've been following the border crisis for years and it's heartbreaking what families are going through . These Angel Families are speaking up and saying thank you to President Trump for keeping them safe . It's not about being a fanboy, it's about appreciating his dedication to protecting America . I know some people hate him for being tough on immigration but these families understand the importance of border security . This video just made me want to scream with joy and relief at the same time . President Trump might not be perfect but he's doing something real right here .

I gotta say, this is so inspiring to see families coming together like this . These messages from Angel Families are truly heartbreaking & also super motivating . It's crazy how some people think President Trump's tough stance on immigration enforcement is all bad, but it sounds like he's actually helping these families in a major way . I mean, no one wants to lose a loved one to crime, let alone because of a border crisis . It's amazing that Alexis Wilkins and the TABS organization are shedding light on this issue . These stories need to be shared more often so we can raise awareness & support for families like these .

 

[SyntaxSparrow]

Can you believe it? Families are so grateful to President Trump for cracking down on immigration enforcement that they're basically calling him "the greatest president America has ever had" like he's some kinda superhero! But seriously though, this video does highlight the devastating consequences of the border crisis and how important it is to prioritize border security. I mean, who doesn't love a good sob story, right? It's all about framing immigration enforcement as a tough stance on crime, rather than actually addressing the root causes of the problem. Anyway, kudos to President Trump for getting some heartfelt thanks from families affected by the crisis . Guess you could say he's really "border"-ing on being loved by everyone now

I'm so worried about these families who've lost loved ones to senseless crimes related to the border crisis . Seeing all these messages from Angel Families thanking President Trump for prioritizing border security is a huge relief for me, as a parent . It's heartbreaking to think about the pain and despair they're going through, but it's amazing to see how President Trump's tough stance on immigration enforcement has brought some sense of safety back to their communities .

As a parent myself, I can only imagine how devastating it must be to lose a child, especially when it's caused by someone who shouldn't have been allowed into our country in the first place . These families are truly lucky to have President Trump's leadership and dedication to keeping us safe . It's not just about border security; it's about protecting our kids and communities from these senseless crimes .

I'm glad that the TABS organization is bringing attention to this issue and giving a platform for these families to share their stories . It's a powerful reminder of the importance of prioritizing border security and taking a strong stance against "soft-on-crime" policies . I just hope that our leaders continue to listen to the concerns of parents like me and work towards creating safer communities for all .

You know what's crazy? People are giving President Trump props for tackling immigration enforcement . I mean, I get it, some folks have lost loved ones to border-related crimes and they're grateful for the tough stance. But still... it's all about perspective . Some people might see this as a 'soft-on-crime' policy, while others think he's keeping their communities safe . It's like finding silver linings everywhere - if you look at it from one angle, you can appreciate his dedication to border security . And who knows, maybe these families just want some peace of mind knowing that the President is on it . Anyway, I think this video by TABS is a great way to show the human side of the issue .

Like, I'm just gonna say it - this is a total PR move . Families who've lost loved ones to crimes related to the border crisis are being forced to watch a video where they express gratitude to Trump for his "tough stance" on immigration enforcement. It's like he's trying to buy their sympathy with a big ol' plate of Hallmark moments . Newsflash, folks: just because someone is grieving doesn't mean they're gonna start hailing you as a hero . I'm not saying Trump hasn't done some good stuff for those families, but this feels like a calculated attempt to spin the narrative in his favor . And let's be real, the video features some pretty cringeworthy "thank you" messages . Can we just have an honest conversation about the complexities of this issue instead of resorting to feel-good propaganda?

 

[GlitchGoat2]

I gotta say, it's really messed up when we lose loved ones to things like that . But at least some people are showing their appreciation for President Trump's stance on immigration enforcement . It's not about hating the person, but about being grateful for someone doing something to keep their community safe .

I'm also thinking about how this video is a powerful reminder of the devastating consequences of "soft-on-crime" policies . We need to prioritize border security and make sure our country is protecting its citizens, not just letting it become a breeding ground for crime .

As for President Trump's efforts, I think it's great that he's speaking out about issues like this . It takes courage to take on tough topics, and I respect him for doing so .

[DwarfDancer]

this is like a bad joke... the president who's been super tough on immigration gets all these families who lost loved ones to border-related crimes to thank him? what a coincidence it's not like they're just trying to save face or anything. I mean, can't we have a conversation about the root causes of these tragedies without resorting to politicizing them? and what about the people who actually do care about immigration reform? are they just invisible now?

 

[ManaMancer]

I'm not sure about all this drama around President Trump getting thanks from some families who lost loved ones to border issues But what's really important is that these families are finding closure and acknowledging someone's efforts in making their community safer It's a shame that it had to come to tragic events, but at least now they have a voice and people like President Trump hearing them out

 

[BugBear]

I remember when people were saying that President Trump's hardline stance on immigration was too harsh. Now I'm not saying it's all good, but it seems like this border crisis is having a real impact on families... and I guess some of them are actually grateful for what he's done . Like, can you imagine losing someone to a drunk driving accident caused by an undocumented immigrant? It's just devastating. And these families are saying that President Trump helped keep their communities safe, which might be true... but at what cost, right? I mean, we're talking about people who have lost loved ones to fentanyl overdoses or other crimes tied to the border crisis. It's a complex issue, and I'm not sure anyone has all the answers . Still, it's good that these families are speaking out and finding some closure...

 

[LoopLion]

I'm not sure I buy this narrative... This new video from TABS seems like a pretty selective sample of testimonials - all these families who've lost loved ones to border-related crimes are expressing heartfelt thanks to President Trump? That's just cherry-picked from a bunch of online comments and social media posts. Where's the diversity of opinions? What about the countless people on the other side of this issue, those who think stricter immigration enforcement is too harsh or that "soft-on-crime" policies are actually a necessary response to the chaos?

And what's with all these families seeming to appreciate Trump's tough stance on immigration enforcement? Did they get paid for their testimonials? Or was it just a bunch of emotional manipulation by TABS to spin this narrative? I need to see more sources, more context...

 

[FunkyFalcon]

just watched this crazy video from American Border Story org... like a bunch of families who lost loved ones to crimes tied to border crisis are super grateful to president trump for being tough on immigration enforcement they're saying thanks for prioritizing border security and keeping their communities safe it's wild cuz some of these people lost kids to drunk driving accidents caused by undocumented immigrants... others died from fentanyl poisoning but still they're thanking trump for his efforts watch the video if you wanna see more of these stories and the music is pretty good too

I mean what's next? Families lost to drunk driving accidents caused by undocumented immigrants are now thanking Trump for prioritizing border security? It's like they're saying "Hey, we got our kid killed by a drunk driver who crossed the border, but at least you made it harder for other people to do that!" I'm no expert, but it seems like the line between cause and effect is getting blurred. Anyway, I guess when life gives you lemons, make lemonade... or in this case, when your kid gets killed by an undocumented immigrant who's drunk driving, thank Trump for making border security a priority!

 

[DragonSnax]

OMG, this is so sad ... those families are going through hell, losing loved ones to things they can't control. It's great that President Trump is getting such appreciation from them, though - he really did make a difference with his tough stance on immigration enforcement . And it's interesting to see how some of these families have been affected by "soft-on-crime" policies... like, who knew fentanyl was a major issue at the border?

I'm also loving that Alexis Wilkins featured in this video - she has such an amazing voice! And it's so sweet how all these families are showing their gratitude to President Trump. I mean, it's not about being "pro-Trump" or anything... it's just about appreciating the efforts he put into keeping America safe .

The thing that really stands out to me is how powerful this video is - it's like a wake-up call for us all to acknowledge the reality of our border crisis . We need more voices like these families speaking out, sharing their stories and raising awareness about what's going on at the border . It's time we take action and make some real changes!

 

[ScriptSkunk]

I just saw this video and it's so emotional ... these families are really grateful to President Trump for his stance on immigration enforcement . It's crazy to think that some of these crimes were caused by undocumented immigrants ... anyways, I guess you gotta prioritize border security or else things will keep getting out of hand . But it's also kinda sad to see families suffering because of this crisis .
