Thank you very much.
So I would love to thank Donald Trump for giving us this invitation to be here and to
say a few words.
To the staff who's been so kind to help us
in this very hard time.
My daughter was
just 12.
She had dreams to be famous. She wanted to be a famous actor. She was so funny. She was her own personality.
And
it's been very and it's been very hard. It's been very hard.
June 17th was the day her life was taken.
She was
left with
no
clothing from the waist down, was thrown in a bayou,
left,
was strangled to death.
We believe, yes, she was assaulted off of DNA kit that has been,
but it's
still very, very
early and it's still very, very raw and it's still very, very surreal.
And
they had
no reason to do anything that they did to Jocelyn.
There was over 300 detention
beds that they should have been at because they were detained and they were released
when they shouldn't have been released.
They had 1 had an ankle monitor,
didn't stop anything.
So now I have to go through the rest of my life
with my son,
always asking for his sister.
And
I just really, really, really want everybody to
please take into consideration
how important
border control is because we're losing very innocent people.
To
heinous crimes that
shouldn't be happening in the first place.
So please, please, I really hope
everybody can hear my pain.
To just...
Please, please,
He needs to be in office and we need to, we need better control. We need to stop this. We need to stop losing
our littles. We need to stop losing children, mothers,
sisters.
Because now I get to grieve every single day
every milestone that hits
gets harder because she's not there for it
she was gonna be a seventh grader
She had her whole life ahead of her. Her whole life ahead of her and it was viciously taken away by 2
evil, evil, heinous
monsters.
So thank you again for taking the time to listen to my words
and please
help him make a change.
Thank you.
So Jocelyn is in heaven now looking down on us right now.
And in her name and her memory, we'll be
fighting to protect every American daughter and child.
