Pearland Mom Relives 2010 Tragedy On CNN
A Pearland mother, Laura Wilkerson , recently visited CNN's "town hall" to voice her opinion to Nancy Pelosi about sanctuary cities.
Wilkerson's 18-year-old son Josh was the victim of a brutal murder back in 2010 at the hands of a classmate who came into the U.S. illegally.
Hermilo Moralez , who was 19 at the time of the incident, was eventually convicted and sentenced to life in prison for Wilkerson's murder.

Excerpts from the exchange:
Wilkerson -
“In 2010, one of the illegals slaughtered my son. He tortured him, he beat him, he tied him up like an animal and he set him on fire. And I am not a one-story mother. This happens every day because there are no laws enforced at the border.”
"If you need to go home tonight and line up your babies as you say, and your grandbabies, which one of them could you look in their eyes today and tell them that they’re expendable for another foreign person to have a nicer life? Which one would you like to say ‘You, my child, are expendable for someone else to come over here and not follow the law, and have a nicer life’?”
Pelosi -
"I pray for you, again, we all pray that none of us has to experience what you’ve experienced. So thank you for channeling your energy to help prevent something like that from happening, but I do want to say to you, that in our sanctuary cities, our people are not disobeying the law."
