Spencer Golvach was a 25-year-old man from Houston, TX. After dropping his girlfriend off from a birthday dinner, Spencer was sitting at a stoplight in Jan. 2015. Spencer was shot in the head by Victor Rodriguez Reyes, an illegal immigrant from Mexico.https://www.texastribune.org/2016/01/31/houston-slayings-ignited-immigration-debate/ …
Reyes was deported multiple times and served 63-months in prison. During his sentence, Reyes nearly killed another inmate. That should have gotten him more prison time. It didn’t. Why? A judge let him out early.
His release ultimately allowed Reyes to brutally murder Spencer and 3 others during a killing spree. The day Reyes took Spencer’s life was the day that would have been the re-Grand Opening of Spencer’s newly built-out guitar shop.
Spencer worked 3 jobs to get the money to re-construct his shop. He did all the construction. Spencer took one night off to take his girlfriend to dinner for her birthday. Now, Spencer’s parents, Julie and Dan, do not have a son. They do not have their only child to hold.
Spencer and Jared are not alone. 16-year-old Tessa Nicole Tranchant and 17-year-old Allison Kunhardt were sitting at a stoplight when an illegal immigrant driving drunk w/ a fake license hit them going over 70 mph.https://www.13newsnow.com/article/news/local/mycity/virginia-beach/after-his-daughters-death-father-advocates-immigration-reform-following-crash/439821177 …
Alfredo Ramos--the immigrant who killed Tessa and Allison--purchased his fake license from a cartel. As was the case with Jared and Spencer’s respective killers, Ramos was previously arrested.
Prior to killing Tessa and Allison, Ramos ran a cop off the road while drunk. Officers ticketed, sentenced, and fined him. Yet, the local sheriff released him. Tessa’s mother claims @ICEgov was never contacted.
Jared, Spencer, Tessa, and Allison aren’t alone. 41-year-old Purple Heart and Medal of Valor winner Don Johnston was shot by an illegal immigrant. Johnston, a police officer, was answering a call at a bank.
An illegal immigrant, using a bank customer as a shield, fired at Johnston. A bullet struck two vertebrae in Johnston’s neck and left bone spurs near his spinal cord. The swelling left Johnston paralyzed. Johnston died 12 years later.https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1990-08-26-ga-175-story.html …
What Americans see on a day-to-day basis is what is happening North of our border, or in English-speaking media. Americans aren’t the only ones suffering from our failures. Lives are being taken North and South of our border. Mexican drug cartels have operational control.
As I’ve said, reasonable people can disagree about the specifics of securing our border, the appropriate levels of immigration, and other specifics. No one can disagree that these families should not have lost a loved one because we refuse to get anything done.
As the Washington continues playing politics, we should remember Jared, Spencer, Tessa, Allison, Officer Johnston, the migrant in a cartel stash house, and countless others impacted from our failures.
