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.
