President Obama, over 8 years, had a slower economy when adjusted for inflation. That is pretty sad. It is also sad this week to read this article from The Daily Caller: ``Laura Wilkerson, whose teenage son was tortured and murdered by an illegal alien in 2010, got into an emotional confrontation with House Democratic Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi at a CNN town hall event Tuesday night. ``Wilkerson told Pelosi, `In 2010, one of the illegals slaughtered my son. He tortured him, he beat him, he tied him up like an animal, and he set him on fire. And I am not a one-story mother. This happens every day because there are no laws enforced at the border. We have to start giving American families first.' ``On the issue of Pelosi and Democrats' support for sanctuary cities, Wilkerson asked, `How do you reconcile in your head about allowing people to disavow the law?' `` `There's nothing, I'm sure, that can compare to the grief that you have, and so I pray for you,' Pelosi said.'' Pelosi went on: ``But I do want to say to you that in our sanctuary cities, our people are not disobeying the law. These are law-abiding citizens. It enables them to be there without being reported to ICE in case of another crime that they might bear witness to.'' ``Pelosi then asked if her son was murdered in a sanctuary city. Josh, Wilkerson's son, was murdered just outside Houston, Texas, which is a sanctuary city.'' So I believe in the power of prayer. I think it's one of the greatest gifts God gave us. C.S.
