One of the hardest things to grasp about the tragic death of Laken Riley is that it was 100 percent preventable. It should have never happened. But because the left is so concerned with making sure no human is illegal, there are asinine policies in place that de facto led to the death of Riley.
But the Mayor of Athens refuses to admit any of that and said that the tragic death of Laken Riley is not connected to illegal immigration - even though the suspect is an illegal immigrant. And it is unclear how someone can be so deranged, to the point that he claimed with a straight face, that an incident where a victim was killed by an illegal immigrant is somehow not related to illegal immigration.

According to The Post Millennial:
Athens-Clarke County Mayor Kelly Girtz held a press conference on Wednesday morning regarding the killing of Augusta University nursing student Laken Riley and the arrest of illegal immigrant Jose Ibarra as a suspect in connection with the death, and was met with protestors calling for his resignation.
During the press conference, Girtz spoke on getting inquiries about the sanctuary city status of Athens-Clarke County.
"The term sanctuary city doesn't have a sole legal or procedural definition. You can look in Georgia statute and you can find a clear definition for a unified government. You can look in contractual language and you can find out exactly what it means to be an SEC institution. Sanctuary city doesn't track with either of those. And so that term means different things to different people depending on the context of the discussion," Girtz said.
Girtz continued, "many of the aspects that are ascribed to sanctuary cities, are things that are disallowed by Georgia law. And we contribute a document every year to the Georgia Department of Audits indicating that we do not correspond to these definitions under state law."
"Yes you do," a man yelled. "
And no policies have been adopted by the mayor and commission that have created sanctuary city status in Athens," Girtz added.
That is not even the worst thing he has said in the past 24 hours. If that makes you mad, get ready because everything else is going to make you infuriated.
Girtz said that he "cautioned against conflating immigration and crime," adding that "the data demonstrates that the two are not connected," later urging the White House and lawmakers to take action on addressing the border crisis.
One of the protestors held a sign referencing a resolution signed by Girtz in 2019, which states that the local government "is welcoming to people from all lands and backgrounds and strives to foster a community where individuals and families of all statuses feel safe, are able to prosper and can breathe free," according to 11 Alive.
The resolution added that white nationalists and xenophobes "have been emboldened by some politicians and members of the media."
The mayor signed the resolution in support of "immigrant and undocumented neighbors, especially those of Latinx heritage," and vowing that the city would protect them from ICE.
I am pretty sure we all agree with the protestors. This man’s lack of self-awareness and support of asinine policies invites these sorts of situations into the country in the first place. And he is actively choosing to look the other way and act as if this situation was inevitable.
The data most definitely shows that illegal immigration leads to some of the worst crimes in existence. It mostly definitely is correlated and it's a lie to say otherwise.

“Oh BuT tRuMp SaId ThIs!!!”
Let’s get this straight. All of this is Trump’s fault for something he said in 2019. That makes absolutely no sense and just shows how pathetic they all are considering that is the best argument he has got.
These people are so far gone down the progressive bandwagon that they physically cannot admit that illegal immigration is bad, as they essentially mock the victims of these crimes that should have never happened.
