We don’t agree with Democrats often, but Bill Clinton truly nailed it Monday when he admitted Laken Riley’s murder “probably wouldn’t have happened” if migrants had “all been properly vetted.”
Correct.
Bubba was supposedly stumping for Kamala Harris, trying to defend her horrific record as border czar, when he accidentally told the truth.
The 22-year-old Georgia student’s accused killer, Jose Ibarra, had crossed into the United States illegally in 2022 and got promptly released into the interior.
Clinton tried to shift blame to Donald Trump, who he claimed is responsible for killing that “bipartisan border bill” that Democrats insist would’ve fixed everything.
Oops: Ibarra was set free in 2022 (when Democrats controlled Congress), while that bill didn’t even surface until this year.
And of course Trump as president set up numerous safeguards to keep illegal migrants like Ibarra out of the country.
Even those “seeking asylum” had to wait in Mexico until their cases could be heard, under Trump’s Migrant Protection Protocols.
Yet from the moment President Biden and Border Czar Kamala Harris took office, they scrapped every last protection Trump erected, including the Remain in Mexico program.
Almost anyone requesting asylum — no matter how bogus the ask or frightening their criminal background (or terror ties) — gets in, virtually no questions asked.
Indeed, along with violent criminals, Harris-Biden policies have let in thousands of illegal migrants from countries that are hotbeds of terrorism. Hundreds of migrants with links to terror are said to be free, roaming US streets.
Clinton also tried to excuse the Harris-Biden, come-one-come-all border policy as necessary since “America isn’t having enough babies to keep our populations up.”
Sorry, but Congress — not Harris or Biden — is responsible for making that decision. And even so, Americans would want migrants fully vetted to prevent killers like Riley’s from entering.
Clinton made one other notable admission: that Harris failed at her main border job — getting countries to steer their migrants into a “legal process” so they wouldn’t get in if they “weren’t properly vetted.”
BREAKING: Just minutes after Bill Clinton admitted on tape that Laken Riley would still be alive if the Kamala-Biden regime vetted the millions of illegals they’ve let in, Trump turned his words into an ad

Right, again, Bill — though he (pathetically) blamed “traffickers” who “made a lot of money” for that failure.
The Harris campaign has pulled out the Democratic Party luminaries to make the case for her, but first Barack Obama and now Bill Clinton have failed: Maybe there’s just no good argument to make?
