The legislation was named in honor of 22-year-old Laken Riley, a University of Georgia student who was murdered by a Venezuelan illegal immigrant.
The perpetrator of this heinous act crossed into the US as a direct result of Joe Biden’s open border policies.
An unsealed affidavit revealed that the assailant brutally “disfigured her skull” during the attack.
Joe Biden can’t even be bothered to say her name, after causing her death with his reckless and lawless open border policies.
Watch:
“Mr. President, do you bear any responsibility for Laken Riley’s death!?”
