In a heart-wrenching story that has conservatives across the nation shaking their heads in anger, Laken Riley’s father, Jason Riley, bravely stepped into the spotlight to share his pain over the tragic loss of his daughter. Laken, a promising 22-year-old nursing student, was brutally murdered by an illegal alien from Venezuela named Jose Ibarra. While speaking to NBC’s “TODAY,” Jason didn’t hold back when he pointed out that Ibarra should never have been in the country in the first place. It’s a sad reality that could have been prevented if only we had stronger border security.
As a proud Trump supporter, Jason Riley didn’t shy away from calling out the failure of current President Joe Biden’s administration to secure our borders. The fact that criminals like Ibarra can slip through the cracks and wreak havoc on innocent lives is a damning indictment of Biden’s lax immigration policies. It’s a tragedy that could have been avoided if we put America first and prioritized the safety of our citizens over political correctness.

The pain in Jason’s voice was palpable as he expressed his regret at not being able to protect his daughter. It’s a feeling that no parent should ever have to experience, especially at the hands of an illegal alien who should have never been allowed to enter the country in the first place. The left may try to paint this as a political issue, but at the core of it is a grieving father who is mourning the loss of his precious daughter.
Despite the attempts by some to use Laken Riley’s murder as a political football, Jason remains steadfast in his belief that his daughter’s memory should be honored for the amazing person she was, not just as a talking point in a political debate. It’s a sentiment that resonates with many conservatives who believe that every life is precious and should not be reduced to a mere statistic in the immigration debate.
In the midst of this tragedy, let us remember Laken Riley not as a symbol of political discord, but as a bright young soul whose life was cut short by a senseless act of violence. As conservatives, we must continue to fight for secure borders and the safety of our citizens, so that no more families have to endure the pain and loss that the Riley family is going through.
