There is nothing worse than burying your child due to failed border policies.

Except when your fellow American's refuse to stand with you then go on national television and magnify your pain of loss tenfold by denying that it even exists. @jimmykimmel

2) Hollywood and the majority of mainstream media have CHOSEN to take a stand against Angel Families their own family and fellow citizens without ever even ASKING US how WE FEEL about what is going on with the border.

3) WE'VE PAID for our opinions with the blood of our children the very least they can do is listen to them and respect our viewpoints.

4) As we come ever closer to the 1 million mark of lost American lives due to the criminals, drugs, gangs & cartel crimes associated with the failed border policies, I have no choice but to wonder what it will take for them to find their their lost humanity & acknowledge our pain

5) So I am inviting Mr. Kimmel and his Hollywood counterparts to have the courage to engage in a discussion with us and finally ask US, the Angel Families those who have lost the most because of the border policies, how WE feel about the border situation.

6) @JimmyKimmelLive your failure to acknowledge the pain and suffering of your fellow American's in favor of your own viewpoints is sad at best. Angel Families have paid for our opinions with the blood of our children, the very least you can do is listen to and acknowledge them

7) @JimmyKimmelLive I promise you that you will walk away from the discussion VERY surprised by what you hear and much better informed when you find out that your preconceived assumptions about us and our cause are 100% WRONG.

8) Our tragedies are no less significant than Sandy Hook or Parkland, our children are no less dead due to failed gov't policies. But we have been rendered irrelevant & our suffering ignored as Hollywood and the media refuse to acknowledge our losses. How is this remotely okay?

9) After Sandy Hook the country raged, after Parkland they organized a march on Washington and headlines nationwide empathized with those who lost so much. Angel Families aren't asking to be treated differently, we are only asking to be treated the SAME.

10) So please @jimmykimmel please tell me because I really want to know, how much more suffering and loss of life it's going to take for Angel Families and our children's deaths to finally be considered relevant by Hollywood or by the media & acknowledged?
