National Remembrance Day For Americans Killed By Illegal Aliens

Today Is National Remembrance Day For Americans Killed By Illegal Aliens<br />Today marks the 10th annual National Remembrance Day for Americans Killed by Illegal Aliens. It is a day upon which we honor and remember those Americans who did not perish in a foreign war, though they did die violently. You might say…they died in a different kind of war.<br /><br />National Remembrance Day was conceived by the Tea Party Immigration Coalition (TPIC). 10 years ago, Rep. Steve King (R-IA) announced his sponsorship of a resolution making the first Sunday of every November the day we acknowledge and remember those Americans killed by illegal aliens.<br /><br />On November 3, 2011, Rep. King stood just outside the Capitol building with Congressman Walter Jones and activists Jeff Lewis and TPIC founder John Stahl, alongside Jamiel Shaw Sr. and Ray Tranchant (who both lost their children to the reckless and even murderous actions of illegal aliens) and said:<br /><br />These are real human stories, there’s real pain and real agony going on a daily basis in the United States of America, and we treat it as if it’s just some kind of tolerable interruption of our lives. It’s not. It’s an interruption of innocent lives that takes place because we have an administration that refuses to enforce immigration law.<br />For far too long, we have sat by and watched as our fellow citizens die every year at the hands of illegal aliens, while our elected officials simply ignore the ever-growing crisis.<br /><br />For those lost, there are no wreath-laying ceremonies, no twenty-one gun salutes nor community gatherings.<br /><br />Those who are left behind truly suffer in silence.<br /><br />-Victim: Oregon State Trooper Bret Clodfelter, 34<br />-Victim: Phoenix Police Officer Marc Atkinson, 28<br />-Victim: Los Angeles Sheriff’s Deputy David March, 33<br />-Victim: Officer Tony Zeppetella, Oceanside Police Department<br />-Victim: Deputy Brandy Lyn Winfield, Marion County Sheriff’s Department<br />-Victim: Detective Donald Young, Denver Poli
