The brutal murder of nursing student Laken Riley by an illegal immigrant is once again exposing the deadly consequences of Democrats' open border policies, as Georgia's Senate race heats up with immigration taking center stage.
Riley, a 22-year-old University of Georgia nursing student, was savagely killed in Athens, Georgia, by an illegal alien who never should have been in our country. Now, as the second anniversary of her preventable death approaches, the National Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee is making sure voters remember exactly who's responsible for policies that put dangerous criminals on our streets.
The NRSC's new digital ad campaign pulls no punches in connecting the dots between liberal immigration policies and the tragic loss of this young woman's life. While Democrats continue pushing their sanctuary city nonsense and fighting against President Trump's mass deportation plans, Riley's family still grieves for a daughter who would be alive today if we had secure borders.
Blood on Their Hands
This case perfectly illustrates why President Trump's America First agenda resonated with voters in 2024. How many more Laken Rileys have to die before Democrats admit their immigration policies are a disaster? How many more families have to be destroyed by criminals who waltzed across our border because liberal politicians rolled out the welcome mat?
Georgia Republicans are smart to make this a centerpiece of their campaign. Voters need to be reminded that every Democrat who opposed the border wall, who supported sanctuary cities, who fought against deportations, has blood on their hands.
"Laken Riley should be alive today, finishing nursing school and starting her career helping others. Instead, she's dead because Democrats chose to protect illegal immigrants over American citizens."
President Trump's mass deportation operation can't come fast enough. Every day we delay is another day dangerous criminals remain on our streets, threatening innocent Americans like Laken Riley.
The question for Georgia voters is simple: Do you want senators who will support Trump's efforts to secure our border and deport criminal aliens, or do you want more Democrats who will fight to keep these killers in our communities? Laken Riley's memory demands justice – and that means securing our border once and for all.
