The murder of University of Georgia student Laken Riley and other recent crimes is shining a bright light on the tragic consequences of Biden's open border. When Biden was running for president he advised people to illegally "surge to the border" if he took office, and surge they did.
What happened next is maddening and also, sadly, predictable:
The county is part of an emerging national rethink of immigration policies amid the border surge and a rash of crimes attributed to illegal immigrants. https://t.co/0exo5LceMw

Now Democrats are trying to blame Trump and Republicans for the border that became far less secure after Biden took office and undid the measures that were working.
The next spin, as demonstrated below by Dem Sen. Chris Murphy, is to say "hey, legal citizens commit crimes too and at an even higher rate than illegals":
There is no crime surge caused by migrants. It's 100% made up. A right wing invention.

Violent crime is WAY DOWN. The drop in urban murders this year was the largest in the nation's history.
And data shows that migrants commit crimes at rate LOWER than those born here. https://t.co/1cTSs8wqsa
Maybe Sen. Murphy should have gone to the UGA victim's funeral this week and explained that to her family. But of course, the reality is that if the murderer hadn't gotten into the country illegally last year, Laken Riley would still be alive, and so would many others.

They really don’t realize what it sounds like, do they? https://t.co/ols2tNOErB
That spin from the Dems is desperate and pitiful.
Feels like the kind of thing you don’t tweet the week a migrant murders an innocent girl. https://t.co/VdFN0s2VjC

And yet here he is doing just that.
When you stop arresting people for crimes, of course crime stats will be down.

Our nation is turning into a third world hell hole because of Democrats like you.
"Crime is down" say the politicians and other public officials who have stopped charging people with crimes in many cities.
Our crime statistics are even more corrupted than our current economic statistics. And that’s saying something.

If Democrats were forced to run on the truth, they would lose.
If the media was honest they'd also be finished.

Dems like Murphy have their "priorities" and no amount of reality is going to change them.
So many fallacies in this claim it’s hard to know where to begin. https://t.co/bgVkMpFTaq

Every Murphy post contains so many fallacies they should be studied in Logic 101 classes all around the country.
