Bill Clinton: Biden-Harris Admin’s Failure To Vet Immigrants Led To Laken Riley’s Death

Former President Bill Clinton said this week that the poorly secured U.S. southern border led to the death of 26-year-old Georgia nursing student Laken Riley who was murdered by a criminal illegal alien who came into the U.S. under the Biden-Harris administration.

While campaigning in Georgia for Vice President Kamala Harris on Monday, Clinton acknowledged the lack of vetting at the border is a serious issue that has resulted in the deaths of innocent Americans.

“You had a case in Georgia not very long ago, didn’t you?” Clinton asked the crowd. “They made an ad about it, a young woman who had been killed by an immigrant. Yeah, well, if they’d all been properly vetted that probably wouldn’t have happened.”

“And America isn’t having enough babies to keep our populations up, so we need immigrants that have been vetted to do work – there wouldn’t be a problem,” he added.

Clinton tried to pin blame on former President Donald Trump allegedly tanking the border bill that was proposed earlier this year.

The claim that Trump stopped the border bill from being passed is false, as it was already facing widespread pushback from Republicans who noted that it was weak and would make the problem worse in many respects.

Clinton’s suggestion that Riley was killed because the bill was not passed is also false, because the timeline does not match up as she was killed before the bill failed to advance.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has also had a Republican-supported bill that passed the U.S. House of Representatives sitting on his desk for nearly two years on which he has refused to hold a vote — largely because the bill actually secures the border.

In an attempt to signal who would rein in the border issue, the National Border Patrol Council has endorsed Trump for president.

“On behalf of the 16,000 men and women represented by the National Border Patrol Council, we strongly support and endorse Donald J. Trump for President of the United States,” the organization said.

WATCH:

“If they’d all be properly vetted, that probably wouldn’t have happened.”

Clinton is supposed to be helping Harris!
