Corporate Media Cover For Biden’s Border Invasion By Pretending Laken Riley Murder Suspect Wasn’t An Illegal Crosser

Corporate media are covering for the deadly consequences of President Joe Biden’s border invasion by pretending the illegal border crosser who allegedly assaulted, kidnapped, imprisoned, and murdered 22-year-old University of Georgia nursing student Laken Hope Riley this week was merely a nearby resident and not an illegal alien from Venezuelan with a criminal history.

One day after Riley’s body was reported missing and subsequently found following an early morning run on her university’s campus in Athens, Georgia, Jose Ibarra was charged with several felonies related to her disappearance and death.

The revelation sparked outrage among Americans who have noticed a pattern of preventable crimes by foreigners who crossed the open border under the Biden administration’s watch and prompted several letter-writing campaigns from Georgia Republicans who have done little to curb the state’s deadly sanctuary city policies.

Instead of acknowledging the prevalence of illegal border crosser crimes, corporate media launched a widespread operation to obscure the murder suspect’s nationality and his illegal presence in the U.S.

In its attempt to shift the blame for Riley’s death from the people encouraging a border invasion to the “fears of solo female athletes,” the Associated Press referred to the 26-year-old alleged murderer as an “Athens resident” instead of a Venezuelan who illegally made his way into the U.S. in 2022. The publication even went so far as to invoke the “2018 death of University of Iowa student Mollie Tibbetts while out jogging” but refused to mention that her murderer was also an illegal border crosser.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution also incorrectly identified Ibarra as an “Athens man.”

When my foreign-born husband was applying for entry into the US he was required to submit proof of having no criminal record and proof of having a clean bill of health, among other things.

There are reasons for screening out criminals and carriers of disease. Democrats don’t seem to (know or) care about these things.

They care. It's totally deliberate Cloward-Piven. They want things to get so bad that the law-abiding beg the government to fix it in exchange for their total subjugation.
