There once was this beautiful girl named Carly. She had the love of so many. Her life was really just starting. She was young. She was smart. She loved animals. She loved life! Then one night a man, who was in this country illegally, took that life. No one cared that he was here when he shouldn't have been. No one was checking into that at all. No one was able to save Carly that night. That night should have never happened. If someone had been doing his job, this man would have been deported and Carly would still be here.
Now, no one can change what happened to that beautiful girl. But in her honor, we can fight to keep a man in our country who is saving lives. A man who is making a difference to so many. A man and his family that have impacted a community. They left a killer live among us ... and now a man who is saving lives must leave.
I don't get it.
