In a powerful moment during Tuesday night's State of the Union address, President Donald Trump recognized 6-year-old Dalilah Coleman, a brave little girl whose life was forever changed when an illegal alien truck driver allegedly caused a devastating multi-car pileup that left her fighting for her life.
The perpetrator? Partap Singh, an Indian national who illegally entered our country in 2022 and somehow managed to obtain a commercial driver's license from California's Democrat-controlled Department of Motor Vehicles under Governor Gavin Newsom's reckless policies.
On June 20, 2024, Singh allegedly caused the horrific crash that left numerous Americans grievously injured, including then-5-year-old Dalilah. The little girl's injuries were so severe that her survival was uncertain—yet against all odds, she is now in first grade, courageously learning to walk again.
California's Dangerous Policies Put Americans at Risk
How exactly does an illegal immigrant obtain a commercial driver's license to operate an 80,000-pound death machine on American highways? The answer lies in California's sanctuary state policies that prioritize illegal aliens over the safety of American citizens.
This is precisely why President Trump's mass deportation agenda is so critical. While Democrats cry about "compassion" for illegal immigrants, American children like Dalilah pay the ultimate price for their virtue signaling.
"Against all odds, she is now in the first grade, learning to walk," Trump noted during his address, highlighting both the tragedy and the remarkable resilience of this young American.
Dalilah's story represents thousands of American victims whose lives have been shattered by illegal aliens who should never have been in our country in the first place. Her courage serves as a reminder of what we're fighting for—the safety and security of every American child.
As President Trump continues his mission to secure our borders and remove criminal illegal aliens, stories like Dalilah's underscore why this work cannot wait. How many more American children must suffer before Democrats finally put America First?
