In 1991, two sisters, who were active in anti-racism causes (whatever that means) who were raped and thrown to their deaths off the Chain of Rocks Bridge over the Mississippi River just north of St Louis. Their family didn't want their names used either because the killers were black.
In all cases, the families felt the victims wouldn't want their 'causes' used that way. I get that.
Doesn't change the fact that with better immigration enforcement, a united front from a political point of view, a Wall, jail time for executives who knowingly hire illegals...... this woman Kate and this woman Mollie would likely still be alive.
There's no way to know that. Further, was Mollie's killer illegal?
So sure, leave their names out of the debate, but keep the debate. As her father said, 'encourage the debate on immigration'
Yes, encourage the debate. Not just build a wall and slap a label of "those people" on all immigrants.
