PHILADELPHIA – A 28-year-old illegal immigrant took the stage at the Democratic National Convention on Monday night to blast Donald Trump for promising to “separate families” like hers as president.

“When I was four years old, my mother and I climbed into a raft and we crossed a river to join my dad in America for a better life,” Astrid Silva, who hails from Mexico, said in remarks delivered to the 4,000-plus Democratic delegation. Silva was the first illegal immigrant to deliver a major speech at either party’s nominating conventions.
