In an interesting turn of events, Republican Georgia Rep. Mike Collins is making waves with his campaign’s latest move – putting up billboards in Atlanta that directly take aim at President Joe Biden. The billboards are focused on the tragic death of 22-year-old nursing student Laken Riley, allegedly at the hands of Jose Antonio Ibarra, an illegal migrant from Venezuela who was released into the country under Biden’s watch.

Collins, never one to shy away from controversy, has boldly called out Biden for his border policies that seem to prioritize individuals like Ibarra over the safety of American citizens like Riley. The billboards, strategically placed along Biden’s route in Atlanta, serve as a powerful reminder of the consequences of lax immigration policies.
It’s about time someone held Biden accountable for the mess at the border, and Collins is not holding back. By calling on Biden to “say her name” and highlighting the stark contrast between Riley and her alleged killer, Collins is sending a clear message that American lives should come first, not the interests of illegal migrants.
The fact that Biden has remained silent on Riley’s death speaks volumes. It’s disappointing, but not surprising, that the current administration continues to prioritize virtue signaling over taking real action to address the crisis at the border. Trump, on the other hand, wasted no time in highlighting the connection between Riley’s tragic death and Biden’s failed policies.
As Collins pushes for legislative action with the Laken Riley Act, it’s clear that he is committed to ensuring that individuals like Ibarra are held accountable for their crimes. It’s refreshing to see a politician standing up for the safety and security of American citizens, especially in the face of an administration that seems more concerned with political correctness than with protecting its own people. Let’s hope Biden takes heed of the message on those billboards and starts putting America first.
