My son was murdered by an illegal immigrant. Neither he nor Mollie Tibbetts deserved to die.

I don't need to imagine Mollie Tibbetts' parents' pain — I live with it every day. Until Congress enforces immigration law, so will other parents.
When what we all feared was finally confirmed, that Mollie Tibbetts, a promising 20-year-old college student, had indeed been killed, we all imagined the pain that Rob Tibbetts and Laura Calderwood, Mollie’s parents, must have felt.
I didn’t have to imagine their pain. I experienced it myself 16 years ago when my son, Ronald Da Silva, was murdered, and I have been living with it every day since. Another thing I share with Rob and Laura is the gut-wrenching knowledge that our grief was entirely avoidable.
