A mother whose son was killed by an illegal immigrant has urged Donald Trump to 'hold strong' and build a wall along the US-Mexico border. Maureen Maloney's son Matthew Denice, 23, died in a crash caused by an Ecuadorian man who was in the US illegally in 2011. Nicolas Guaman was drunk as he passed through a stop sign in his pick-up truck and struck Denice, who was riding a motorcycle. He then attempted to flee the scene and ran over Denice, who became lodged in a wheel well.

Guaman was convicted in 2014 of manslaughter and is currently serving a 12 to 14-year sentence. Maloney said the proposed compromise deal to fund just $1.375 billion for new fencing along the border is not enough. She will attend Capitol Hill in Washington D.C. on Wednesday with other families who lost their loved ones to illegal immigrants to speak to members of Congress. She told the Boston Herald: 'The Democrats need to listen to families who have lost loved ones. They need to hear us. 'They need to hear from rape victims. They need to hear from parents who lost loved ones to drugs.' Maloney also described her son as an 'amazing, kind and caring person.' She previously outlined the horrific details of Denice's death at a rally held by Trump during his election campaign in 2016. At that rally Trump promised that if elected, he would remove millions of people living in the United States illegally. Her husband, Denice's stepfather, went so far as to say Trump would have prevented the crime. Trump has continued his campaign for a border wall as lawmakers tentatively agreed to a deal that would provide nearly $1.4 billion for new fencing 'If Donald Trump were president in 2011, our son Matthew Denice and other Americans would be alive today,' Mike Maloney said. At one of Trump's early campaign events in August 2015, Maloney met Trump via an arranged meeting in Norwood. 'Will you close the borders?' an emotional Maloney asked Trump then. Trump then replied: 'We'll get them closed, believe me.' Since the death of her son, Maloney has been involved with the Remembrance Project, a non-profit organization that seeks to raise awareness about illegal immigration and to honor those killed by people here illegally. Under mounting pressure from his own party, Trump appears to be grudgingly leaning toward accepting an agreement that would head off a threatened second government shutdown. Trump intends to sign a bipartisan compromise deal to give him just a quarter of the $5.7 billion he wants for a border wall – while contemplating unilateral actions to plugshortfall Young boys look through an older section of the border structure from Mexicali, Mexico, alongside a newly-constructed, taller section, left, in Calexico, California Trump said Tuesday he would need more time to study the plan, but he also declared he was not expecting another shutdown this weekend when funding for parts of the government would run out. 'I can't say I'm happy. I can't say I'm thrilled,' Trump said of the proposed deal. 'But the wall is getting built, regardless. 'It doesn't matter because we're doing other things beyond what we're talking about here.' Accepting the deal, worked out by congressional negotiators from both parties, would be a disappointment for a president who has repeatedly insisted he needs $5.7 billion for a barrier along the U.S.-Mexico border. Trump turned down a similar deal in December, forcing the 35-day partial shutdown that left hundreds of thousands of federal workers without paychecks and Republicans reeling. Lawmakers tentatively agreed to a deal that would provide nearly $1.4 billion for border barriers and keep the government funded for the rest of the fiscal year, which ends on September 30. The agreement would allow 55 miles (88 kilometers) of new fencing - constructed using existing designs such as metal slats- but far less than the 215 miles (345 kilometers) the White House demanded in December. The fencing would be built in Texas' Rio Grande Valley. Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer urged Trump to accept the package to avert another shutdown, calling the tentative accord 'welcome news.'
