The American Border Story (TABS) has unveiled a compelling new video showcasing Angel Families, who have lost relatives due to crimes linked to the border situation. These families express their appreciation to President Trump for his firm approach to immigration control.

Released on November 22nd in a nod to Thanksgiving, the 11-minute video features country music artist Alexis Wilkins and includes heartfelt messages from over a dozen Angel Families, expressing their gratitude to Trump and his administration.

Joe Abraham, whose daughter Katie tragically died in a drunk-driving incident involving an undocumented immigrant, acknowledged the president for making border security a priority and for “keeping our community safe.”

“We hope you maintain your commitment to this cause,” Joe Abraham shared. “We really don’t want any other families to endure the pain and despair we are experiencing. So continue your efforts, and we thank you. Happy Thanksgiving.”

Anne Fundner, who lost her 15-year-old son Weston to fentanyl poisoning, thanked President Trump and called him “the greatest president America has ever had.”

“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.”
