Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), asking them if they would support a border wall if it meant their loved ones would be saved from illegal alien crime.<\/h2>\n<p>Angel Mom Mary Ann Mendoza from Arizona \u2014 the co-founder of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.angelfamilies.org\/\">AngelFamilies.org<\/a> \u2014 singled Pelosi out, noting that the House Minority Leader has never met with Angel Families to discuss the illegal immigration crisis.<\/p>\n<p>Mendoza said:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>After watching the debacle in the White House the other day, <strong>I was very ashamed to even think that Nancy Pelosi would be Speaker of the House, to think that Chuck Schumer is a Senator<\/strong> in the United States. [Emphasis added]<\/p>\n<p>And <strong>the thing that really bothers me about Nancy Pelosi is she goes on and on and on about the cost of the wall, but what Nancy Pelosi fails to talk about is the cost of supporting illegal aliens in our country<\/strong>, which is already at $136 billion and by not building the wall, that number will keep increasing every single year. So she\u2019s failing to tell the American taxpayers, \u2018Hey, follow my lead and more money is going to be coming out of your pockets,\u2019 instead of building a wall for a flat fee and be done with it. [Emphasis added]<\/p>\n<p><strong>The other thing that Nancy Pelosi fails to ever talk about, ever, is the victims of illegal alien crime<\/strong>. Those are our children amongst hundreds of thousands of others. <strong>Unfortunately, our children have been murdered or killed<\/strong>.
