Biden’s Illegal Immigration Problem Has Gone From Bad To Worse As High-Profile Murders Rock US
From the Daily Caller News Foundation
A slate of high-profile crimes against women, allegedly committed at the hands of illegal migrants, has brought the issue of illegal immigration into sharper focus as the 2024 presidential election draws closer.
The killing of a nursing student in Georgia, the rape and murder of mother of five in Maryland, the strangulation killing of 12-year-old girl in Texas and several other significant local crimes has steadily compiled in recent months, prompting the passage of new legislation at the state level and keeping immigration in the news. The negative headlines have forced President Joe Biden, already dealing with low marks on immigration due to the ongoing border crisis, to remain on the defensive.
Biden was pushed into speaking about one significant murder during his most recent State of the Union speech.
“Lincoln [Laken] Riley, an innocent young woman who was killed,” Biden began to say during the 2024 State of the Union address. The president was speaking about border security when Georgia GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene yelled at him to “say her name.”
Biden held up a pin given to him by Greene and began to speak about the murder that took place a month prior.
“By an illegal. That’s right,” he said. “But how many of thousands of people are being killed by legals? To her parents, I say: My heart goes out to you. Having lost children myself, I understand.”
Riley — a nursing student living in Athens, Georgia — was abducted and murdered while jogging near the University of Georgia campus on Feb. 22. She died from blunt force trauma to the head, a coroner determined.
José Antonio Ibarra, a 26-year-old Venezuelan national, was subsequently arrested for her murder. Immigration and Customs (ICE) later confirmed that Ibarra entered the country illegally, further sparking statewide and national backlash.
The murder was followed by a recall campaign against Athens, Georgia, Mayor Kelly Girtz, the sheriff and the district attorney, with constituents calling on them to resign. Despite Girtz repeatedly saying in public that Athens was not a “sanctuary” city, unearthed emails revealed the mayor stating that he supported the town’s current policy of not being fully cooperative with immigration detainer requests.
At the state level, Riley’s killing was followed by Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, a Republican, signing into law legislation that sheriffs cooperate with federal immigration authorities or else risk losing state funding. The new law mandates local jailers hold any foreign national in their custody when they are wanted by ICE agents.
As more details emerged about how Ibarra was able to be released into the U.S. and his brother’s alleged ties to a Venezuelan prison gang former President Donald Trump, an immigration hawk, highlighted the crime on the campaign trail. The Republican candidate met with Riley’s family at a Georgia campaign rally in March, and was photographed embracing them before a crowd.
“He’s got no remorse, he’s got no regret. He’s got no empathy,” Trump said of the current president. “No compassion, and worst of all, he has no intention of stopping the deadly invasion that stole precious Laken’s beautiful, American life.”
Riley’s killing proved to be just the first local crime involving immigration this year that rocketed to national attention.
The body of 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray was found floating in a north Houston creek in June. Following several days of investigation, local law enforcement arrested two Venezuelan nationals, 21-year-old Johan Jose Rangel Martinez and 26-year-old Franklin Jose Pena Ramos.
DNA tests determined that the 12-year-old had been sexually assaulted before she was strangled to death. Prosecutors believe both men tied her up, pulled her pants down, sexually assaulted her and then suffocated her before dumping her body in a nearby creek.
Federal immigration authorities soon confirmed that both men were living in the U.S. illegally, with one of them having only been in the country less than a month before allegedly killing the young girl. The incident immediately attracted national attention, with the House Homeland Security Committee later publishing a report that questioned why both men were released into the U.S. when there was more than enough detention space to keep them in physical detention at the time they illegally crossed the border.
The alleged crime was not forgotten by Trump, even moments before the first 2024 presidential debate. The former president called Jocelyn’s mother just 10 minutes before his first debate with Biden to express his condolences, a gesture that reportedly “shocked” her, according to the New York Post.
It wasn’t the only time Trump reached out to an angel family that month.
The family of Rachel Morin, a Maryland mother of five who was allegedly murdered by an illegal migrant, revealed last month they were “deeply touched” by Trump’s outreach following news that a suspect had finally been apprehended.
“I am deeply touched by President Trump’s kindness and concern,” Patty Morin, Rachel’s mother, said in a statement released by the family’s attorney. “He was genuine and truly wanted to know how our family was coping.”
Authorities confirmed that Morin’s alleged killer, 23-year-old Victor Antonio Martinez-Hernandez, is also wanted for the murder of a woman in his home country of El Salvador — making him one of many illegal migrants who were able to enter the U.S. despite being wanted abroad for various heinous crimes.
The slate of killings have put a microscope on illegal immigration, a topic already of major concern for American voters as the border crisis has raged on. Under Biden, Border Patrol agents have encountered more than seven million migrants crossing illegally into the U.S. between ports of entry, according to the latest data by Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
Biden has enjoyed, very recently, a slowdown of migrant apprehensions thanks in large part to a crackdown by the Mexican government and an executive order last month that seeks to control the number of migrants seeking asylum. However, critics maintain that the record levels of illegal migration experienced under his tenure remain a problem of his doing.
In the first year of his presidency, Biden undertook 296 executive actions on immigration, according to an analysis by the Migration Policy Institute. Of those presidential proclamations, 89 specifically reversed or began the process of undoing Trump’s immigration policies — and Biden has undone major Trump-era policy initiatives, such as the shutdown of the Remain in Mexico program and the nixing of new border wall construction.
The president has also recently granted mass amnesty to half a million illegal migrants married to U.S. citizens — a move that critics say will only encourage more illegal immigration.
“There’s no reason to doubt that the Biden administration — with its history of paroling inadequately vetted, inadmissible aliens into the country — will rubber-stamp every application under the President’s executive order, thus granting half a million or more illegal immigrants permanent residency and, eventually, citizenship,” Erik Ruark, director of research for NumbersUSA, said in a statement to the Daily Caller News Foundation.
“Amidst an historic border crisis, President Biden’s illegal amnesty sends would-be migrants the message that our borders remain wide open, and that they will eventually be rewarded if they can get into the country,” Ruark continued.
The White House did not respond to a request for comment from the DCNF.

Nashville school shooter’s ‘manifesto’ highlights the destructive nature of porn, sexual confusion
From LifeSiteNews
The disjointed ramblings of gender-confused school shooter Audrey Hale reveal her deep obsession with gender and race, with many disturbing entries centering on aggressive and sexual behaviours.
On June 10 and June 14, I reported on leaked sections of the so-called “manifesto” of Audrey Hale, the trans-identified school shooter who killed three 9-year-old children and three adults at Covenant Christian School on March 27, 2023, in Nashville, Tennessee. LGBT groups had called for the suppression of Hale’s writings immediately after the murders for fear that (another) transgender shooter would have some politically inconvenient things to say. The press and the police largely cooperated, with the exception of several leaks earlier this year.
Those leaks included photos of Hale’s journals, in which she wrote of her hatred for her Christian parents, her desire for puberty blockers, and her fervent hope for a “high death count” when she started shooting those “white privileged crackers.” In the second leak, including pages published by Matt Walsh of The Daily Wire, Hale fantasized about having a male body and sodomizing girls, and attacked Christians as transphobic bigots. Some phrases and numbers were difficult to decipher or decode.
READ: Full 90 pages of Nashville shooter’s ‘manifesto’ reveal obsession with gender confusion, suicide
Now, The Tennessee Star has published the full, unredacted “manifesto” of Audrey Hale (who refers to herself throughout the notebook as “Aiden,” her transgender identity). It is about 90 pages and is not so much a “manifesto” as a series of disjointed ramblings, much of it sounding like it was written by someone tormented by unrequited love; most of it is sexual and obsessive. Combine that with Hale’s gender dysphoria and this Christian school girl turned transgender terrorist was clearly a deeply disturbed and angry person.
I spent some time reading through all of Hale’s writing and found much of it incoherent. At one point, she writes, “This love will never end until I am up in heaven where hurt is no more and I can love you and be in no more pain,” appearing to refer to a breakup. Shortly thereafter: “Everything hurts.” The name “Syd” shows up frequently; these letters are apparently to or about Hale’s friend Sydney Sims, who died in a car accident in 2022. Hale was clearly infatuated by her. Comments referring to her transgender identity are throughout the notebook:
“I am a boy with a vagina.”
“Audrey is not my name.”
“A terrible feeling to know I am nothing of the gender I was born of.”
“I am the most unhappy boy alive.”
“I will be of no use of love for any girl if I don’t have what they need: Boy’s body/male gender.”
“If God won’t give me a boy body in Heaven,” followed by a blasphemous declaration.
“Why does my brain not work? Because I was born wrong!”
“I hate society b/c society ignores to see me. I’m a queer; I am meant to die.”
She had apparently been planning her school shooting for some time. On January 16, 2023, she wrote, “I’m so sorry Nikki. I didn’t mean to plan my massacre on the 17th. I’m going to be a terrible s**t for leaving you. How bad my heart hurts. Tomorrow is my last day on earth. I love you. I am so sorry. Audrey (Aiden).” Underneath, she scribbled: “Ps—Not leaving yet. I couldn’t do it. I don’t want to ruin your day. I’ll wait as planned.”
Two pages later: “Paige, I’m going to kill people someday. Please don’t be mad … I’m going to do something bad. It’s too sad to think what you might feel. I’m so sorry. I love you. I just have to die. I think God will enter me in heaven. If I do get there I’ll be waiting for you. Aiden.”
Paige Patton was one of Hale’s friends. Hale messaged her the day of the shooting saying that she would die that day; Patton alerted the authorities, but they didn’t respond to her until after the shooting.
“So now, in America, it makes one a criminal to have a gun or be transgender or non-binary,” Hale wrote on another page. On the opposite page, a chilling note: “Covenant was closed yesterday. I guess it was b/c of the weather … 2/18/23.” Several pages later: “In less than 26 days, my final day, Death Day, will finally await me. 3/27/23.” On March 13, after packing several pages with grotesque, clearly porn-inspired sexual fantasies: “I’m sorry innocent lives will be taken.” In a reference to the Columbine shooters: “I want my massacre to end in a way that Eric (Harris) + Dylan (Klebold) would be proud of.”
The final page was written on the day of the massacre. “Forgive me God, this act will be inglorious,” she wrote.
Death Day! Today is the day. The day has finally come! I can’t believe it’s here. Don’t know how I was able to get this far, but here I am. I’m a little nervous, but excited too. Been excited for two weeks. There were several times I could have been caught, especially back in the summer of 2021. None of that matters now. I’m almost an hour and 7 minutes away. Can’t believe I’m doing this, but I’m ready … I hope my victims aren’t. My only fear is if anything goes wrong … God let my wrath take over my anxiety. It might be 10 minutes tops. It might be 3-7. It’s gunna go quick. I hope I have a high death count. Ready to die haha.
It was signed “Aiden.”
Shortly after writing those words, 28-year-old Audrey Hale entered The Covenant Christian School with two AR-style weapons and a handgun, shooting open a locked side door to gain access. She began her shooting spree at around 10:13 a.m., killing three 9-year-old children – Evelyn Dieckhaus, Hallie Scruggs, and William Kinney – and three adults – 61-year-old substitute teacher Cynthia Peak, 60-year-old principal Dr. Katherine Koonce, and 61-year-old custodian Mike Hill. Less than 15 minutes later, Hale was shot and killed by two police officers.

Mother Of Georgia Shooting Suspect Called School Warning Of ‘Extreme Emergency’: REPORT
From the Daily Caller News Foundation
The mother of the 14-year-old alleged Apalachee High School shooter called the school minutes before the shooting to warn of an “extreme emergency” involving her son, according to The Washington Post.
Marcee Gray, mother of suspect Colt Gray, texted her sister that she had notified the school counselor that “it was an extreme emergency and for them to go immediately and find [her son] to check on him,” according to text messages obtained by then Post. The outlet also obtained a call log from the family’s phone plan showing a 10-minute phone call placed at 9:50 a.m. from the mother’s phone to the school, 30 minutes before the Sept. 4 shooting started.
A school counselor told Marcee during the call that her son was talking about a school shooting, according to Annie Brown, Marcee’s sister.
Text messages obtained by the Post from Brown show that the family was in contact with the school about Colt’s mental health a week before the shooting. Brown also told a family member that Colt was having “homicidal and suicidal thoughts,” according to the outlet.
Brown also told the Post that Colt was “begging for help from everybody around him” and that “the adults around him failed him.” Colt allegedly had a difficult home life, with his mother pleading guilty to a family violence charge in December 2023 and ordered to have limited contact with her husband.
The FBI received a tip in May 2023 that Colt allegedly made threats, and he was questioned by local authorities. However, officials claimed they did not have probable cause for an arrest, and Gray denied making the threats.
Colt allegedly opened fire with an AR-15 pattern rifle at Apalachee High School, killing four and injuring nine. Colt surrendered when a school resource officer confronted the teen.
Colt stands charged with four counts of felony murder, and his father, Colin Gray, is charged with four counts of involuntary manslaughter, two counts of second-degree murder and eight counts of cruelty to children. The gun Colt used was reportedly gifted to him by Colin.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation told the Daily Caller News Foundation that they do not plan to reveal investigative details at this time and directed all inquiries to the Piedmont Judicial Circuit District Attorney’s Office.
