Georgia has 16 electoral college votes. A murdered college student could keep Joe Biden from winning them. This story is going to resonate in ways that will not help Democrats. Yes, this awful tragedy has very real political implications. Democrats can scream all they want, but the blood is on their hands.
They screech about gun control but say nothing about immigration control.
Not a good look.
@EnlightenedHedgehog2yrs2Y
This could have all been avoided with the Enforcement of the Laws already on the Books. The same people that howl about Gun Control are silent when a Murder Happens as a result of the Border Being wide open. I wonder why?
@TermitePhilDemocrat2yrs2Y
If only Republicans didn’t play politics with the bipartisan border deal.
@EnlightenedHedgehog2yrs2Y
Sorry, but that bill would have done nothing to prevent this.
The border deal tears the borders open even further.

the Venezuelan should be treaded like the peace of **** e he is
@9K9C7GS2yrs2Y
the boarder should be upgraded to prevent people from coming in illegally
@9K7XWSG2yrs2Y
That’s terrible and possibly preventable if the right actions take place this won’t happen in the future with illegal immigrants we have an immigration process for a reason
@9K7P3CP2yrs2Y
This heightens internal US tensions
@9K7WSSJ2yrs2Y
They deserve to be held accountable, and held to the highest extent of the law, because this ridiculous behavior should not ever be tolerated.
