A Letter from Texas - the Border - New Dustin Inman Society

I feel helpless as I see our Texas communities devastated

As I watch representatives from Texas, Arizona and other border states beg and plead for a stop to the border “crisis” I am dismayed by the complete lack of empathy demonstrated by the current administration.

Americans were promised “humanity, compassion and transparency”.

Where is the humanity and compassion when a nine year old girl drowns crossing the Rio Grande or a 12 year old boy makes the dangerous trip with a smuggler so he can enter the US alone; or two little girls dropped 14 feet from the top of the border wall?

Where is the humanity and compassion when an overflow of illegal aliens is dropped off in border communities of Arizona like Gila Bend in the middle of nowhere in open desert? (Rep Andy Biggs, R-Ariz.) And where is the humanity and compassion for communities like Hidalgo County (Texas) that already have high poverty rates and do not have resources to accommodate new migrants? This community is still facing high unemployment rates because of the coronavirus.

“Del Rio Mayor, Bruno Lozano pleaded with President Joe Biden to halt the release of migrants into the area. Mayor Lozano said the city does not have the resources available to house and care for illegal migrants flooding across the Texas-Mexico border.” And Democrat US Rep Henry Cuellar released photos showing the conditions of unaccompanied migrant children and families under CBP custody because “it’s important that the public know.”

Yes, the public should know that these children will be in communities across the country soon. Because, although, this “crisis” was created by greed for power – American citizens will be asked to show “humanity and compassion”.

Angel Dad Never Got to See Justice Served for Son, Killed by Illegal Alien

It was Father’s Day weekend in the year 2000. Dustin Inman, 16 years old, was in the car with his parents, Billy and Kathy Inman, and their dog. The family was headed to the mountains in north Georgia for some fishing.

Also on the road that day was Gonzalez Gonzalo Harrell, an illegal alien from Mexico who had secured a North Carolina driver’s license using his Mexican birth certificate.

While Billy Inman had stopped their vehicle at a red light, Gonzalo Harrell slammed into the back of them, going 62 miles per hour. The collision instantly killed Dustin Inman and their family dog.

Billy and Kathy Inman were both left unconscious at the scene. When first responders arrived, the Inmans and Gonzalo Harrell were taken to a nearby hospital. While being treated for injuries, Gonzalo Harrell fled the hospital.

Meanwhile, Billy Inman was treated for his injuries caused by the collision while his wife was in a coma for five weeks. Neither was able to attend Dustin’s funeral.

When Kathy Inman regained consciousness, she was told of Dustin’s death. Kathy was left with permanent injuries from the collision — injuries that bound her to a wheelchair.

Following the collision and Gonzalo Harrell’s fleeing, the Inman’s made it their life mission to bring justice for their son. In January 2001, Gonzalo Harrell was indicted by a Gilmer County, Georgia, grand jury which charged him with first-degree vehicular homicide, two counts of serious injury by vehicle, and reckless driving.

In June 2002, a federal Unlawful Flight to Avoid Prosecution warrant was obtained by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). In March 2014, the FBI issued a news release seeking the public’s help in finding Gonzalo Harrell.

Billy and Kathy Inman, in 2018, detailed their son’s death and revealed that they had spoken with then-President Trump about their case and their continuing fight to find Gonzalo Harrell, as Breitbart News reported.

“I lost my best friend,” Billy Inman said. “My little buddy. This is something I want nobody else to have to go through.”

“Our son’s been gone 18 years. This man’s been walking the streets for 18 years since what he did to my family,” he continued. “He’s gotten to see his kids grow up and graduate and do something and get married and whatever they do. He gets to hug his kid.”

Then, about a year later, in June 2019, Billy Inman died at the age of 55. A little over two years after Billy’s death, in August 2021, Kathy Inman died at the age of 57. Neither were able to see justice for their son, Dustin.

The Dustin Inman Society, named in Dustin’s honor, continues its grassroots efforts fighting illegal immigration and amnesty proposals in Washington, D.C. The FBI is still offering a cash reward of $2,000 for anyone with information on Gonzalo Harrell.

Those with information are asked to contact Crime Stoppers Atlanta at (404) 577-TIPS (8477). Full article from Breitbart here.
