President Joe Biden’s bungled border policies are sending shockwaves through his potential 2024 re-election campaign, as voters peel away from the Democratic camp and flock to former President Trump’s corner.
John Yob, the CEO of Strategic National, has expertly foreseen the writing on the wall, predicting that the recent tragic murders in Michigan perpetrated by illegal immigrants will propel the state’s constituents to swing back in favor of Trump. In a hard-hitting opinion piece, Yob outlined how the escalating apprehensions about safety are nudging voters into President Trump’s embrace, as the specter of crime perpetrated by illegal immigrants continues to loom over the nation.
Did Trump Just Secure This State Ahead of the 2024 Election?

Yob cogently highlighted the heart-wrenching case of 25-year-old Ruby Garcia, callously gunned down and left beside U.S. Highway 131 in Grand Rapids, Michigan by 25-year-old Brandon Ortiz-Vite—an illegal alien from Mexico. The barbaric murder paints a grisly picture of the vulnerability posed by a porous southern border, sending shockwaves that reverberate far beyond the boundaries of Michigan.
But the horror didn’t end there. Another soul-crushing incident unfolded as 22-year-old Leah Gomez was mercilessly shot in front of her 1-year-old daughter in May 2023 in Grand Rapids, once again by a 27-year-old illegal immigrant from Mexico. Two lives cut short, forever etching the harrowing consequences of unchecked illegal immigration into the national consciousness.
Yob made a persuasive case, underscoring the irrefutable fact that one tragedy might be construed as an isolated catastrophe, but two such despicable acts amount to an alarming pattern that voters simply cannot stomach. The resonance of these incidents strikes a nerve with suburban families, even those as far north as West Michigan, thrusting the disturbing realities of the unbridled southern border right into their backyards—incidents that they vehemently reject and are primed to rally against once they flood the media cycles.
Furthermore, Yob pointed out the seismic shift that unfolded in 2016, when Trump successfully reclaimed the support of blue-collar strongholds in Michigan, cultivating an electoral bastion that had long been a Democratic stronghold. By wresting the votes of autoworkers and working families from the Democratic clutches, Trump effectively exposed the opposition’s abandonment of the hardworking, patriotic heart of America, relegating them to a clique of out-of-touch coastal elites.
Trump’s recent visit to Grand Rapids, Michigan, underscored the gravity of the border crisis, spotlighting the bereaved Angel Families who have tragically lost their loved ones to illegal immigration. He spared no punches, squarely laying the blame at Biden’s doorstep, holding him accountable for the chaos, carnage, and bloodshed that now besiege American communities. President Trump’s fierce declaration, that every town stands at the brink of becoming a border town due to Biden’s reckless policies, reverberates as a clarion call for action—a rallying cry to safeguard the nation’s security and fortify its sovereignty.
