During a press conference, Trump expressed his condolences and \u200bhighlighted several tragic cases, including the deaths of 12-year-old Jocelyn \u200bNungaray and 37-year-old Rachel \u2062Morin. Both\u2062 mothers shared their heartbreaking experiences, \u2062calling for stronger\u2062 border control and emphasizing the \u200dpain of \u200closing\u2064 their daughters \u2062to violent crimes\u2064 linked \u2064to illegal immigration. Alexis Nungaray recounted details surrounding her daughter&#8217;s murder, while Patty Morin shared about the brutal circumstances of her daughter\u2019s death. Trump&#8217;s visit \u200daimed to draw attention to the issue of migrant-related crime, positioning\u2062 it as a critical part of his campaign as he counterprogrammed against Vice President Kamala Harris&#8217;s nomination acceptance speech.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Crime victim families endorse Trump at border: &lsquo;He needs to be in office&rsquo;<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1735685\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Republican presidential candidate former President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Donald Trump<\/a> visited the U.S.-Mexico <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/border\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>border<\/a> Thursday alongside the families of two women who were allegedly raped and murdered by illegal immigrants.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We&rsquo;re honored to really be with these incredible people and in particular with some grieving families.
