We know who did it. And we also know who is responsible for it. On February 22, University of Georgia nursing student, Laken Riley was brutally murdered by 26-year-old illegal immigrant, Jose Ibarra, as she went for a morning jog around campus. Ibarra, from Venezuela, entered the country illegally in September 2022, near El Paso. He was caught by ICE and released immediately. The Biden administration, then bused he and his “wife” – whom he apparently married so they could exploit the Biden asylum system – to New York City. In August of 2023, Ibarra was arrested in New York for driving an unregistered, uninsured car with a five-year-old inside and was charged with “acting in a manner to injure a child less than 17 and a motor vehicle license violation.” After he bonded out, he left New York for Georgia. He should have never been in the country and was only here because of Joe Biden.
Ibarra is the murderer, but Joe Biden is responsible for Laken Riley’s murder. Her blood is on his hands. We all know what Biden did. During the Trump administration, illegal immigration had dropped to a 40-year low, mainly due to his policies like “remain in Mexico”. But after Biden’s inauguration, his first order of business was to undo all of Donald Trump’s border policies. Every single one of the policies that had been extraordinarily successful were repealed through executive order. So, this was all done intentionally. The crisis at our border is not the result of a President or Congress doing their best to secure the border and failing. The border is in crisis because Joe Biden and the Democrats want it to be in crisis.
Biden knew calculus. He knew that by opening the border like he did starting in January of 2021, the deaths from overdoses would skyrocket in America. They are now north of 100,000 per year, which is more than a 50% increase from when he took office. Biden also knew that there would be an increase in the number of women like Laken Riley who would be murdered by the foreign nationals who he let into the country. Joe Biden knew that repealing all of Trump’s border policies, would result in all of those deaths, and he did it anyway.
Why would he do something like that? Why would he put so many American citizens lives at risk? For the same reason Joe Biden has done everything in his life, for selfish political gain. He believes, like many Democrats believe, that if they can create a big enough crisis at the border, then the Republicans would have no choice but to agree to some sort of compromise on illegal immigration and eventually grant 20 million illegals, amnesty, citizenship and voting rights in exchange for a secure border.
The Democrats believe that the overwhelming majority of the illegal immigrants would end up voting for Democrats, so blanket amnesty would give the Democrats complete control over the Executive and Legislative branches of our government for generations to come. That was the math the Joe Biden did. And Laken Riley is just the collateral damage in Joe Biden’s political ambitions. It makes me sick to my stomach that we have people in this country who are tearing down the statues of Thomas Jefferson and Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln for some of the bad things that they did in their lives, and then vote for Joe Biden, who has willfully and knowingly caused the deaths of tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of Americans.
The lapdog media who will bend over backwards to excuse Joe Biden of any wrongdoing quickly jumped into action to protect him. CNN ran a story in which they stated that “there’s no connection between immigration and crime.” You see how they deceivingly worded their conclusion. They said “immigration” and not “illegal immigration”. So, there is probably no connection between legal immigration and crime because legal immigrants are vetted thoroughly before immigrating here. Illegal immigrants are not vetted at all. And if illegals do get arrested like Ibarra, for endangering the life of a child, they are bonded out quickly and free to commit murder in another state.
Last week, 32-year-old illegal immigrant, Renzo Mendoza Montes was arrested in Virginia on multiple felony charges for raping a minor. Like Ibarra, Montes entered this country illegally in the El Paso area, he was detained and released by US Customs and Border Protection because of Biden’s “catch and release” policy. If Trump had been President, Montes would not have been in the country to rape anybody. Nilson Granados-Trejo, an illegal alien from El Salvador has been arrested and charged with murder of a 2-year-old Maryland boy, Jeremy Poou-Caceres, on February 8. Prior to committing the murder, Granados-Trejo had been twice arrested and freed both times in a sanctuary county in Maryland. In Utah on Monday, Jonathan Estuardo Ruano Garcia, 26, was arrested raping an 11-year-old girl.
CNN’s Jake Tapper attempted to paint the Republicans as the bad guys because they are “seizing on this horrific tragedy” for political gain. Well, actually Jake, Biden caused this horrific tragedy for political gain. And Republicans have been speaking out against the dangers of open borders for the past three years, so they are not merely demagoguing a mundane issue during an election year. This has been a crisis from day one of the Biden administration. What does Tapper think we should do, ignore this horrific murder? Pretend that Laken Riley is still alive, that she didn’t get her skull smashed to pieces by an illegal immigrant who Joe Biden willfully let into this country? Tapper also said, “they’re seizing on this as an example of Biden’s failure to protect the American people, and to secure the border.” But this is not a failure. It was done on purpose. Biden knew exactly what he was doing and what the deadly consequences would be, and he did it anyway.
The Associated Press tried to deflect the blame away from Biden by running a story that Laken Riley’s “death has once again put the spotlight on the dangers female runners face.” They tried to paint it as a gender inequality issue, not an illegal immigration crisis. They never mentioned who murdered her and the fact that the murderer was in the country illegally and had just been released on bond in New York. Instead, they advised women to “run during daylight hours or with a friend; avoid headphones; carry pepper spray or a whistle; make sure your phone is charged; mix up running routes.” They forgot to add one more bullet point to their list of how to protect young women – don’t vote for a dementia patient who will open the border to murderous socio-paths. That’s probably the most import item on the list to protect young women.
On Monday, Biden, someone who is always willing to face the music, went on the Seth Myers show to take some softball questions about illegal immigration. He said, “you even got an immigration bill that passed in the Senate, but never got taken up in the House,” and if he is re-elected, “it will be.” He claimed the bill “would allow us to control the border.” The border was under control when Biden took over. He is one who repealed all of Trump’s successful border policies. He is the one who stopped building the wall. He is the one who sued the State of Texas for putting up razor wire along the border. He is the one who with a stroke of a pen could close the border today but refuses to do so.
Biden also told Myers that “Trump was picking up the phone and calling the speaker of the House saying, don’t let it pass. Why? Not because he doesn’t think it’s good, because it will benefit Biden.” The bill is horrific. It allows for 1.8 million illegals to enter the country every year and gives all the illegals already here a pathway to citizenship. There is only one way Biden can secure the border and protect American citizens, and it is to reinstate every single one of Donald Trump’s border policies. As President Trump recommended on Truth Social, “immediately seal the border, stop the invasion. And… begin the largest deportation operation of illegal criminals in American history.” Anything short of that, you’re creating a situation where more and more young woman will be killed senselessly.
