President Joe Biden and every politician who refused to take border security and immigration matters seriously over the last few years have blood on their hands, Laken Riley’s blood. Every politician who sat idly by and did nothing as Biden signed executive orders overturning former President Donald Trump’s border and immigration policies share in the blame for Riley’s murder.
A vigil was held last week for Riley. People gathered at the University of Georgia to speak of Riley fondly. People should be heartbroken yet furious over her senseless death. They should also take action.
Where are the marches? Where are the peaceful protests? People should be angry she is not alive and should be marching in the streets and peacefully protesting over the Biden administration’s immigration and border security failures. Remaining silent and inactive accomplishes nothing.
Why weren’t people gathered over the weekend in New York City and marching over its bridges and through its neighborhoods? Protesters should be gathering there to show Biden and other Democrats they will no longer tolerate politicians from a party who don’t care when an illegal immigrant murders an innocent female college student. They should be peacefully protesting against a president who prioritizes immigrants over the lives of innocent Americans.
Where are the demonstrations in Washington, D.C.? Angry people should be marching through the streets, demanding people say Riley’s name. Where are the rallies, protests, and gatherings? Where are the groups of people marching through the nation’s capital holding up posters, placards, and other displays featuring Riley’s face? Riley’s life mattered.
Where are the marches in Philadelphia by the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall? Let them walk by Independence Hall, the building that gave birth to this great nation. Let them walk through the city of the Declaration of Independence and Constitution of the United States, where the ghosts of our nation’s founders are hanging their heads in shame as today’s Biden Democrats have abandoned their duty of protecting the lives of American citizens in favor of radical immigration policies out of allegiance to left-wing political ideologies.
Where are the Hollywood celebrities changing their profiles to colorful squares in solidarity against Riley’s death? Where are the athletes kneeling over Riley’s murder? Why aren’t the Atlanta Hawks or University of Georgia’s athletic teams walking off courts to protest Riley’s senseless death? Why isn’t the MLB, the organization that relocated its All-Star Game from Atlanta a few years ago in protest over legislation passed by the state, taking similar action to protest the murder of Riley, a resident in Georgia?

It’s vital to remember these omissions by the country’s entertainers the next time any of them express “outrage” over a political issue. As they liked to say over the last few years, “Silence is compliance.” These actors, athletes, musicians, and other elitist entertainers only care about being pawns of left-wing propaganda who do their part as illusionists to help manipulate public opinion.
The Constitution’s First Amendment protects people’s freedom of speech and “the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” It is up to the public and the organizations against Biden’s immigration failures to use these rights and take a stand. The time for half-measures and political rhetoric is over. They should collectively be saying “no more” with their political activism. They should be outside gathering, marching, and peacefully protesting Riley’s murder.
