This is a rare case of the media interviewing the victim of the left's illegal alien policies. Instead of the usual parade of "DREAMER" poster kids whining about how unfair the law is.
But Agnes Gibboney has been speaking out over her son's brutal murder for a while now. And even the media has been forced to listen.
On April 27, 2002, Agnes Gibboney’s son, Ronald da Silva, was shot and killed in El Monte by Luis Gonzales, a gang member and illegal alien.
“Saturday will be my son’s 43rd birthday,” Gibboney told CBS2 Wednesday. “I will be at the cemetery with a cupcake and a candle and I’ll be singing happy birthday.”
“I am a legal immigrant, it took my family 13 years to legally immigrate to United States,” Gibboney said.
Agnes supports President Donald Trump, attended his inauguration and approves his stance on immigration, especially building a wall on the border.
“Give me a shovel,” Agnes said. “Put me to dig the trench. I would be happy to do that. Rain or shine, 100 degrees, 120, I don’t care. I will be honored to do it.
Her beliefs are echoed by Robin Hvidston with The Remembrance Project, a not-for-profit which advocates for families who have had relatives killed by illegal immigrants.
“It gives us a lot of hope to finally have a president who respects and upholds our laws,” Hvidston said.
To those against Trump’s immigration stance, Agnes has one question.
“If they would, for a minute, imagine their children six feet under, how would that make them feel?” Gibboney asks.
Gonzales is slated to be released in 2020. Gibboney is concerned he will stay in the U.S. and not get deported.
Agnes has been a champion for her murdered son.
The devastation did not end there, as my only brother Lazslo died 4 months later when he suffered a major stroke from the overwhelming loss from Ronald's murder.
Gonzalez was charged with 1st or 2nd degree murder, but Judge Horan kept insisting he take a plea deal. After the third time, Gonzalez took a plea of Voluntary Manslaughter and got the maximum 11 years, plus 10 years for the use of a firearm. He needs to serve 85% of that time. He is currently in prison in Stockton in the hospital ward, probably pretending he's crazy, like he did twice during the court proceedings. He is scheduled to be released in November 2020.
Justice must be done.
