    Shagla Hightower’s daughter, Iofemi, was killed along with two friends in a 2007 attack in a Newark, New Jersey school yard.

    Shagla Hightower told Trump Friday that her daughters’ killers “should have never been here” and praises Trump for giving her daughter recognition.

    She said, “I truly, truly thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

    Trump has been featuring parents whose children have been killed by people living in the U.S. illegally at his events to try to underscore the risk they pose.

    He said Hightower’s is “a horrible story, but it’s a story a lot of people are going through.”

    He added that his rival Hillary Clinton “has no clue and doesn’t care.”

    Why did Trump wait 10 years to meet this woman? How many of the crowd were US citizens?
