Maria Vega accepts Javier Vega Jr. Award, named after son who died in line of duty

Maria Vega accepts the Javier Vega Jr. Award on behalf of her late son, a border patrol agent who was murdered by an illegal immigrant in 2014.

“How can anyone defend illegal aliens?

What about the American people?

Why aren’t we a priority?

And as long as I’m alive, I’m going to be a voice for my son and for all the angel families who lost a child,” she says.
