I really wish repubs wouldn't use Laken Riley’s death for political gain

Seeing as how her parent's wishes were for conservatives to stop using their daughter as political bait.

The father of Laken Riley, whom authorities suspect was murdered by an undocumented migrant in February, has objected to how he says his daughter’s death is “being used politically” ahead of the upcoming presidential and congressional elections.

Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student, was beaten to death on the University of Georgia’s campus on 22 February. Republicans have claimed Riley’s death represents a failure of the Joe Biden White House’s border policies and have used the killing to push legislation which would make it easier for law enforcement to detain unauthorized migrants accused of theft.

The liberals used to death of George Floyd to burn down communities and businesses, but yet the Republicans can’t use the death of a young woman killed by an illegal to get things done so that this doesn’t happen again ? Really ?

@Jake966 Still spreading those lies. All of the people who were arrested for that were far right nuts like you who were trying to start their little race war fantasy.

Try again.

And you use a woman's death to demonize all immigrants and do so expressly against the wishes of her family victimizing them yet again for political stunts.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow The bottom line is, if someone is in this country illegally, they should be arrested and removed from this country because they are criminals due to the fact that they came into this country illegally . You do something illegal that makes you were criminal .

@Jake966 it's a misdemeanour. Are you suggesting jaywalking should be treated as a dangerous crime too?

@Jake966 before or after you lot burn sneakers and shoot beer cans for being "woke"?

Y'all do know a boycott actually works by not buying the product, right?

Jake966 · 56-60, M

@basilfawlty89 but the gangbangers who were illegally into this country and terrorized American citizens by taking over buildings illegally and forcing people to pay them for protection, I guess they should be treated as people who commit misdemeanors ?

@Jake966 In serious countries criminals are treated according to the law like everyone else.

Not like a backward military dictatorship.

And of course you have no evidence or sources that your action movie plot is even happening.

The "deport everyone" approach also doesn't work. In fact from what happened with MS13 in the 90s we know it makes it worse.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow criminals are treated according to the law like everyone else? Do you really want to go there? We could go off subject and go back a few years but then you would say that doesn’t pertain to that situation. . Besides, if I gave you anything to prove what I say is true, you would say it’s a lie anyway so why bother? Bottom line is, if someone comes into this country and documented they need to leave there has been reports of undocumented People leaving this country after the election because they were afraid of being deported .
