Every American should hear this immigrant speak.

Manuel Oliver,Parkland parent.
Heard him on Morning Joe.

He is talking about how some want a wall to save lives taken by illegal criminals,but those same people won't even discuss lives taken by gun violence.

Some lives should matter as much as other lives.

He is an incredibly powerful voice.

Such a passionate voice for reasonable gun laws. How craven that asshole repug was yesterday trying to say that the few lives lost to immigrants is more important than the hundreds of thousands lost to gun violence every single year.
