The White House is under fire for its response to the murders of innocent Americans committed by illegal immigrants in recent weeks.
Following the death of a mother of five and a 12-year-old girl who was killed by immigrants who illegally crossed the southern border, White House statements failed to mention that the men were “illegal” aliens. Perhaps it is because of President Joe Biden’s lax immigration policies that have caused American communities to suffer.
Rachel Morin was killed by 23-year-old Victor Martinez-Hernandez, who entered the U.S. illegally from El Salvador. Meanwhile, 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray was murdered by two illegal immigrants who were released into the country by Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) after crossing the southern border.
The statements from the Biden Administration gave their “deepest condolences” to the victim’s families, but did not acknowledge the deaths happened because illegal immigrants successfully entered the country under its reckless policies.
“We extend our deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of Rachel Morin. We cannot comment on active law enforcement cases. But fundamentally, we believe that people should be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law if they are found to be guilty,” one of the White House’s statements read.

“Our hearts go out to the family and loved ones of Jocelyn Nungaray. We cannot comment on active law enforcement cases. But fundamentally, anyone found guilty of this type of heinous and shocking crime should be held accountable, to the fullest extent of the law,” the second statement read.
On the contrary, former President Donald Trump reached out to the victim’s families personally to give them his condolences.
The Trump campaign fired back at the Biden White House, accusing the president of having blood on his hands.
Crooked Joe Biden is a disgrace.

The brutal murders of these Americans is on the hands of Biden — and the evil Biden migrants he released into our country. https://t.co/s4Jh7FMtzY
Other Republicans also criticized Biden for his lack of compassion after two more innocent lives were cut short due to his blatant ignorance of the border crisis.
"Pathetic," GOP candidate for Congress in Arizona's 1st Congressional District Kim George wrote. "Weak leadership is to blame for these senseless deaths. Nothing can be said to change what happened, but the families deserve better. They deserve #justice."
Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) called the White House statement "shameful," adding that "Innocent people murdered by illegal immigrants and the @WhiteHouse still REFUSES to accept responsibility."
