The American Border Story (TABS) has released a powerful new video featuring Angel Families — those who have lost loved ones to crimes tied to the border crisis — expressing gratitude to President Trump for his tough stance on immigration enforcement.
The 11-minute video, released on Nov. 22 in honor of Thanksgiving and featuring country music artist Alexis Wilkins, includes more than a dozen messages from Angel Families thanking Trump and his administration.
Joe Abraham, whose daughter Katie was killed in a drunken-driving accident caused by an illegal immigrant, thanked the president for prioritizing border security and “keeping our community safe.”
“We hope you continue the dedication towards that,” Joe Abraham said. “… We really don’t want any other families to have to suffer the pain and despair that we’re going through right now. So keep it up, and we appreciate you. Happy Thanksgiving.”

“You spoke his name with honor and reminded me that Weston is looking down so proud,” Fundner said. “President Trump, you work tirelessly, nonstop to protect Americans and keep our country safe. I am so honored and grateful to call you my president. I thank God for you every single day.”
Agnes Gibboney, whose son Ronald Da Silva was murdered by an illegal immigrant in California in 2002, thanked Trump for his “courage, strength, determination, and love for our country.”
