Former President Bill Clinton, while campaigning for Vice President Kamala Harris, stated that the death of Laken Riley, a 22-year-old woman killed by an illegal immigrant from Venezuela during a run on the University of Georgia campus on February 22, "probably wouldn't have happened" if the Biden-Harris administration had properly vetted immigrants at the border. Clinton's remarks highlighted the need for improved border security and proper vetting of immigrants. He also mentioned that immigrants are needed for cheap labor, which has sparked controversy given the context of his comments.
