Illegal Immigrant Killing Of Nursing Student Elicits Yawns And Deflections From The Media

 The killing last Thursday of a 22-year-old Augusta University College of Nursing student - who had been out for a run near her old alma mater, the University of Georgia in Athens - has stirred interest in the national media, both because of the shocking and senseless nature of that crime and because the suspect is a Venezuelan migrant who entered illegally in September 2022 only to be released into the United States.

On February 24, the day after Jose Ibarra was arrested for the killing of Riley, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp sent a letter to President Biden seeking answers about Ibarra's immigration status.

In any event, the sections of that article that don't pay tribute to Riley's life are largely a back-and-forth on which of the two parties bears responsibility for the border crisis that enabled Jose Ibarra to enter and remain in the United States - the Biden administration for its migrant release policies, or former President Trump and the GOP for rejecting a proposed Senate border bill.

I've extensively analyzed and explained the flaws in that bill in the past, but suffice it to say that it would not end "Catch and release" of illegal aliens at the Southwest border - it would reverse current migrant detention mandates in the law and essentially give the Biden administration authority to release any alien claiming asylum, without first assessing the strength or validity of that alien's claim.

SCAAP provides federal payments to states and localities that incurred correctional officer salary costs for incarcerating undocumented criminal aliens with at least one felony or two misdemeanor convictions for violations of state or local law, and incarcerated for at least 4 consecutive days during the reporting period.

SCAAP funding, at its core, forces the federal government to recompense states and localities for DHS's failures to remove "Undocumented criminal aliens" - a class in which Jose Ibarra is allegedly a member.

Government nonfeasance becomes misconduct when DHS ignores Congress' commands and funnels unvetted illegal aliens into the United States.
