The
White House • June 25, 2018
The Day
Ahead
President
Donald J. Trump and the First Lady will welcome Their Majesties
King Abdullah II bin Al-Hussein and Queen Rania Al Abdullah of
Jordan to the White House.
When
separation is permanent
Joshua
Wilkerson was 18 years old. "His last hours
were—was brutal," his mother Laura said, describing in
painful detail the horrific circumstances of her son's murder.
"As everyone standing up here, none of our kids had a
minute to say goodbye."
For
these angel families, all of whom lost loved ones
because of crime spilling across our border, President Trump
vowed on Friday to keep fighting to restore rule of law.
"According to a 2011 government report, the arrests
attached to the criminal alien population included an estimated
25,000 people for homicide, 42,000 for robbery, nearly 70,000
for sex offenses, and nearly 15,000 for kidnapping," the
President said.
"You
hear the other side. You never hear this side,"
President Trump said. "No major networks sent cameras to
their homes or displayed the images of their incredible loved
ones across the nightly news. They don't do that."
Instead, their suffering was met with silence.
Sabine
Durden's story is worth remembering. "I'm one of
your legal immigrants," she said at the White House on
Friday. "It took me five years to become a citizen, a
proud citizen." But when a criminal from Guatemala who
didn't go through that same vetting process—and then was
protected by a sanctuary city—took her son's life, her words
were heartbreaking. "I couldn't protect him."
Ending the
Human Rights Council farce
The
United Nations Humans Rights Council (HRC) has failed
to live up to its purpose, serving as a shield for human rights
violators and a megaphone for unfair bias against Israel.
Countries with terrible human rights records are routinely
elected to the HRC, and it has passed more resolutions
condemning Israel than it has condemning Syria, Iran, and North
Korea combined.
This
Administration has taken steps to advance the cause of
reform. Yet even simple efficiency proposals aimed at dealing
with the Council's budget crisis have failed to win enough
support. If real reforms are undertaken, America would welcome
the opportunity to re-engage.
