The Harris-Biden administration’s handling of immigration has come under intense scrutiny once again after Edixon Murillo-Antunez, a suspect in a Tennessee shooting spree, was found to be in the US illegally. Murillo-Antunez was arrested on Wednesday after a six-mile shooting rampage that left two juveniles injured and four vehicles damaged by gunfire. He now faces multiple charges, including four counts of attempted criminal homicide, aggravated assault and felony weapon possession.
Authorities confirmed that Murillo-Antunez is on an ICE detainer, indicating his illegal status in the country. The incident has sparked renewed criticism of the Harris-Biden administration’s border policies, which have allowed millions to cross into the U.S. since 2021 with minimal screening. The lack of border enforcement is being blamed for this and other violent incidents involving illegal immigrants.
RNC Research was quick to connect the dots, stating that “this is happening BECAUSE of Kamala Harris.” Critics point to Harris’ role as the so-called “Border Czar” tasked with addressing the root causes of illegal immigration. However, many argue that her efforts have been ineffective, leading to continued security threats like the Tennessee shooting spree.
As more incidents like this occur, frustrations continue to mount over the administration’s non-enforcement of border security. Americans who have followed the legal process to immigrate are left watching as illegal entrants face little to no consequences, raising questions about fairness and safety in the U.S.
