“At Trump’s rally in Norcross, the real estate mogul had a brief meeting with the parents of Dustin Inman, the 16-year-old killed in a traffic accident with a man living in the U.S. illegally in 2000. The Mexican national is still at large.

Billy Inman said Trump’s controversial comments about immigrants committing crimes have helped raise the profile of causes like his — the Dustin Inman Society advocates for tougher immigration laws and enforcement — and he was impressed with the man in person:

“I truly feel that he is genuine. And, granted, he didn’t know nothing about me til he got here. … He said this is why he’s done what he’s done. I tell him ‘I feel like an American outcast in my own country.’ …

“I’ve been on the fence, been looking at him [in the presidential race], and I thank God for all he’s done. What he’s done in one day, families like mine across our country have been trying for decades, tried to bring attention to.”

Added Inman:

“He told me wife that she was a beautiful lady. More than once. And told her to take care of me. But he did tell me to take care of her, too.”
