“Well, if everything had been properly inspected, that probably wouldn't have happened.”
clinton criticized He tried to blame President Trump for forcing a compromise on immigration in February for lax immigration policies that are believed to have led to Laken Riley's death.
“[Harris is] The only candidate who actually supported legislation that would curb immigration in a given year up to a certain point and then give people a decent place to live and not separate people from their children. And we did thorough testing before people came in,” Clinton insisted at a fish fry in Georgia.
“Well, Trump repealed the bill. This bill was written by the Republican leadership in the Senate. And he killed the bill. Why? There was an incident in Georgia a while ago,” he said. He continued, “They made an ad about it about a young woman being killed by an immigrant. Well, if they had all been properly vetted, that probably wouldn't have happened. ”
But the immigration bill was defeated in early February, and Riley was murdered a few weeks later. If Congress had passed the bill, it would almost certainly not have affected Jose Ibarra, the suspected illegal immigrant who entered the country years before the murders.
The Trump campaign blasted Clinton's comments and made it seem as if she was spoil Harris campaign.
“Kamala Harris and the far-left House Democrats' embrace of far-left open borders policies that even Bill Clinton has said has gone too far,” Will Reinert, national spokesperson for the National Republican Congressional Committee, said in a statement. said. “Unfortunately, House Democrats from swing districts voted against every reasonable border security bill this Congress that could have saved Laken Riley's life.”
Ibarra is a Venezuelan national and is scheduled to go on trial for murder in November.
Republicans are divided on the immigration compromise, with some accusing it of making too many concessions to Democrats, while others say the bill is misunderstood.
