Twenty-two-year-old Riley, who was jogging at the University of Georgia’s intramural fields, was allegedly brutally murdered by a 26-year-old Venezuelan, who was in the U.S. illegally and had been previously arrested and released in New York for attacking a child. This heinous act on this Christian young woman was entirely preventable. The blame for this tragedy falls at the feet of President Joe Biden and his reckless open-border policy.
