The murder of University of Georgia student Laken Riley and other recent crimes is shining a bright light on the tragic consequences of Biden's open border. When Biden was running for president he advised people to illegally "surge to the border" if he took office, and surge they did.
What happened next is maddening and also, sadly, predictable:
The Washington Times (@WashTimes) ~ The county is part of an emerging national rethink of immigration policies amid the border surge and a rash of crimes attributed to illegal immigrants.

Now Democrats are trying to blame Trump and Republicans for the border that became far less secure after Biden took office and undid the measures that were working.
The next spin, as demonstrated below by Dem Sen. Chris Murphy, is to say "hey, legal citizens commit crimes too and at an even higher rate than illegals":
Chris Murphy (@ChrisMurphyCT) ~ There is no crime surge caused by migrants. It's 100% made up. A right wing invention.
Violent crime is WAY DOWN. The drop in urban murders this year was the largest in the nation's history.
And data shows that migrants commit crimes at rate LOWER than those born here.
You Democrats have willingly and gleefully allowed so many millions of illegal aliens to invade our country - AND move them around using taxpayer funds! - you don't have a bloody clue who and where they are, you stooge. You've lost track of them - because your plan all along was to simply let them dissolve into our society - only to reappear when it came time to vote. Problem is ... other countries are emptying their prisons and sending their criminals to cross our borders, you idiot. Your "statistics" about illegal aliens are cooked to your liking - they're BS.
Maybe Sen. Murphy should have gone to the UGA victim's funeral this week and explained that to her family. But of course, the reality is that if the murderer hadn't gotten into the country illegally last year, Laken Riley would still be alive, and so would many others.
Oilfield Rando (@Oilfield_Rando) ~ “I’m sorry about your daughter but statistically speaking she was more likely to meet this end at the hands of an American citizen”
They really don’t realize what it sounds like, do they?
Yep, that's what Murphy is really saying ... but, that's not too surprising - he's a worthless, slimy asshole.
That spin from the Dems is desperate and pitiful.
Matt Whitlock (@mattdizwhitlock) ~ Feels like the kind of thing you don’t tweet the week a migrant murders an innocent girl.
And yet here he is doing just that.
Lilly Wilson (@RealLillyWilson) ~ When you stop arresting people for crimes, of course crime stats will be down. Our nation is turning into a third world hell hole because of Democrats like you.
"Crime is down" say the politicians and other public officials who have stopped charging people with crimes in many cities.
Jeff Carlson (@themarketswork) ~ Our crime statistics are even more corrupted than our current economic statistics. And that’s saying something. If Democrats were forced to run on the truth, they would lose.
If the media was honest they'd also be finished.
Chuck Ross (@ChuckRossDC) ~ Chris Murphy erased Laken Riley; idolized Jacob Blake ...
Dems like Murphy have their "priorities" and no amount of reality is going to change them.
John Cooper (@thejcoop) ~ So many fallacies in this claim it’s hard to know where to begin.
Every Murphy post contains so many fallacies they should be studied in Logic 101 classes all around the country.
