A potent new video from The American Border Story (TABS) showcases Angel Families — individuals who have suffered the loss of family members due to border crisis-related crimes — expressing their appreciation to President Trump for his firm approach to immigration enforcement.
The 11-minute video, released on Nov. 22 in observance of Thanksgiving, features country music artist Alexis Wilkins and includes over a dozen messages from Angel Families thanking Trump and his administration.
Joe Abraham, whose daughter Katie died in a drunk-driving incident caused by an undocumented immigrant, expressed his gratitude to the president for prioritizing border security and “keeping our community safe.”
“We hope you continue the dedication towards that,” Joe Abraham stated. “… We really don’t want any more families to experience the pain and despair that we’re going through right now. So keep it up, and we appreciate you. Happy Thanksgiving.”
