The majority of Democrats have no empathy for Laken Riley's family. They have no empathy for any of the Angel Moms and Angel Dads whose children have died at the hands of illegal aliens.
That's awfully rich coming from the party who decided it would be good politically to have more Lakens, Angel Moms, and Angel Dads throughout 2024 rather than passing the bipartisan border bill. I mean, Trump openly and explicitly said to fail the bill so that he can run on the issue - that's not some kind of baseless assertion.
And if Republicans don't think the bill goes far enough (of course we know they all thought it was good enough until Trump "opened their eyes"), they could still pass it now, and then something else next year they turn out to be right about that. Better to try and accomplish something than intentionally fail and accomplish nothing, right?
