Bill Clinton Suggests Laken Riley Would Still Be Alive if Border ‘Properly’ Secured, Hitting Republicans

Bill Clinton made the suggestion during a speech in Georgia while campaigning for Vice President Kamala Harris. He stated that Laken Riley, a nursing student who was killed by an alleged illegal immigrant, would still be alive if the border had been properly secured. Clinton accused former President Donald Trump of tanking negotiations over a bipartisan border compromise in Congress, which he claimed could have prevented the entry of the young woman’s assailant.

Clinton also praised the current administration’s handling of the border, noting that illegal crossings have decreased every year for the past three years under the Biden-Harris administration. He criticized Republicans for their handling of border security and accused them of misrepresenting Vice President Harris’s role in immigration policies.
