you. definitely. you know. and president trump did do an executive order that had part of sarah s law in it. but we still need these laws passed. and honestly, and i never mean to take it lightly or anything, but this is common sense. and did i not realize we needed a law for this. i just assumed that this was already a law. until it happened to us, i didn t realize that you could be in our country illegally, kill someone, bond out, and free. i did not know we needed a law to state for sure if you are here illegally, you kill someone, or seriously injure them that you are detained. i didn t realize we needed a law to state that. jon: sarah s killer as you mentioned bonded out and disappeared. it s believed that he is probably back in his native honduras, right? that s what everybody thinks.
suggesting, jon, that paul manafort was treated unfairly. found guilty of several financial crimes. we will see if the president decides to pardon him down the line. back to you. jon: kevin corke there at the white house this morning. happy friday. thanks. sandra: meanwhile the immigration debate is heating up after illegal immigrant confessed to the murder of mollie tibbetts. the 20-year-old was found dead earlier this week in iowa more than a month after she disappeared while jogging in a small town of brooklyn. now, an iowa mother is speaking out about her own tragedy. the death of her daughter, sarah root in a car crash two years ago involving an illegal immigrant. michelle road joins u root join. she is our headliner today. michelle, it s something we can never imagine as parents going through what you have gone through. now you are seeing another family, in the case of mollie tibbetts suffer through. this you came on here this morning because you clearly have something to s
last year. and it was setting in the senate the last i knew, waiting to be brought to the floor. we have been calling, had people call. all their local state representatives to try to get it brought to the senate floor. we have also made calls to mitch mcconnell s office to bring it to the floor. and nothing has been done. sandra: to be clear, sarah s law. it s frustrating. sandra: i m sorry to interrupt, michelle. i want to make sure everybody understands what this law is sarah s law named for your daughter killed in car crash by illegal immigrant would see that ice detains illegal immigrants when they kill american citizens. joni ernst as you just mentioned from iowa was on the program yesterday. and she referred back to your family and why they are pushing for this reform. watch. sarah s murderer was released on bond. he was gone from the country before sarah was even laid to rest. that can t happen. sandra: obviously important legislation to
citizens are safe. jon: there are politicians and ordinary americans who say okay, but you can t take a broad brush and label illegal immigrants as killers just because of a mollie tibbetts case or a sarah root. how do you answer that? and we re not saying they are all killers. but there is a process to follow. we have immigration laws in place that require you to go through a process to become a citizen of the united states. you cannot just cross the border and think that you can be an american citizen. that is not the right way. sarah s grandmother, my ex-husband s mom, came from vienna, austria, she did it after world war ii, followed the process. it was not an easy task for her to do. and she did it. and i don t understand what people don t understand about doing it the correct way.
great place. michele, please come up. thank you, mr. president. my daughter, sarah root was killed within 24 hours after graduating with a bachelor s, 4.0 in criminal investigations, outside celebrating. stopped at a stoplight, and rear-ended by edwin mejia going 70-plus miles an hour. he was arrested. but then he paid a $5,000 bail, and now he has fled. our separation, like everybody has said, is permanent. sarah never gets to go on to be a wife, a mother, a grandmother, an aunt. my son does not have his only sibling any longer. my life has been devastated. so has my daughter s family and friends. i want to thank president trump
