Being used politically? Isn't she an example of the failure of the immigration system in the Biden administration? I know the family is hurting and still trying to digest the loss but her passing should be amplified so that the problem is sorted and other parents don't have to go through the same

[icewallflatearth]

Why isn't Biden arrested for this?

[clairvoyantbear]

Hates that her death is used politically yet politics would have kept her alive…..

[AS-mmwi]

I feel for her family and others who have been the victims of illegal immigrant crime. But I wonder...when they show disdain for their loved one's death being a political talking point, do they ever consider that the purpose of those talking points is to help make sure this doesn't happen to more young women?
