During President Joe Biden’s visit to the southern border today, Fox News reporter Griff Jenkins asked the President about the tragic death of Laken Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student from Georgia. The President, 81, turned and shuffled away from the question without providing a response.
The incident has sparked controversy and debate, with many questioning the President’s stance on border security and his administration’s handling of the ongoing crisis.
Critics argue that the President’s avoidance of the question is indicative of his unwillingness to address the issue and take responsibility for the consequences of his policies.

Laken Riley, a nursing student at Augusta University, was found dead on the University of Georgia’s campus near the Intramural Fields on February 23, 2024. Police arrested a 26-year-old Venezuelan migrant one day after the discovery on charges of murder. Her death has brought renewed attention to the dangers faced by those living near the border and the need for stronger security measures.
The President’s visit to the border comes at a time when his administration is facing increasing pressure to address the situation. Critics have called for stronger measures to secure the border and prevent further loss of life, while others have urged the administration to adopt a more compassionate approach to immigration.
The President’s office has yet to issue a statement on the incident or provide a response to the question posed by the reporter. As the debate over border security and immigration policy continues, many are hoping for a clear and decisive response from the President on this important issue.
