An illegal alien killed my son. Two new House bills give me hope for justice.

Then in 2010 my son Drew, in his second year of law school, was run over three times and killed by an illegal-alien driver in the sanctuary city of San Francisco.

As I looked for answers, I realized how indifferent our nation’s public officials are to the dangers of illegal alien crime. I wanted to protect other American families from going through what my family has, and so I became an anti-illegal immigration activist.

Routinely, the media unskeptically regurgitates the talking points of open-borders advocates and tells the public there’s a “scholarly consensus” that illegal aliens commit criminal offenses at a lower rate than citizens. This never seemed plausible. Most illegal aliens have few skills and education. On average, low-skilled and poorly educated people commit more crime. And of course, illegal aliens are here in the first place because they don’t respect our laws.
