Angel moms
A killing by an illegal immigrant is told through the victim's grieving family, the mother on the rally stage or in the ad, her loss standing for what the open border costs.

⚠️ A story people tell, not a claim that it's true.
A motif is the shape of a story as its tellers tell it, named the way a folklorist names a tale type, so the same story told about other people, by the other side or in another year lands in the same place. Some of the claims below are true, many are false. Arguing against a story is often a story of its own, its answer (Voter fraud is answered by Voter suppression, Lawfare by No one is above the law), and we file it there; where no answer has a motif yet, the arguments against a story sit with its tellings.

She spoke.” “Katie got a grave and I got a life sentence” “VOICE, which stands for the Victims of Immigrant Crime... they didn't want these voices or these situations amplified”
