Heck, Bush would've sent Air Force One to Mexico with green cards and return transport for all the perp's extended "la familia".

President Trump on Tuesday seized on news that an undocumented immigrant was charged in the death of an Iowa college student to underscore his push for stricter immigration laws.
"You heard about today with the illegal alien coming in, very sadly, from Mexico, and you saw what happened to that incredible, beautiful young woman. Should’ve never happened," Trump said at a rally in Charleston, W.Va.
"We’ve had a huge impact but the laws are so bad," he continued. "The immigration laws are such a disgrace. We’re getting them changed, but we have to get more Republicans."
Cristhian Bahena Rivera, 24, was charged with murder in connection to the death of 20-year-old Iowa college student Mollie Tibbetts, who had been missing for more than a month before authorities discovered her body this week.
Authorities said that Rivera led investigators to Tibbetts’s body, according to The Washington Post.
Trump returned to immigration and border security later in his speech by touting the work of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in removing MS-13 gang members, and knocking Democrats over calls from some lawmakers to abolish the agency.
Trump has made cracking down on illegal immigration and building a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border a hallmark issue since the time he hit the campaign trail. He has regularly derided the U.S. as having the “worst” laws of anywhere in the world and called on Congress to pass legislation restricting both illegal and legal immigration.
On Tuesday, as he ostensibly rallied for U.S. Senate candidate Patrick Morrissey, Trump stressed that electing more Republicans will lead to a stronger border.
"A blue wave in November means open borders which means massive crime. a red wave means safety and strength," Trump said.
Good. Strike while the iron is hot.
Obama would’ve. Bush, not so much.
George never would have hit on one of his pet projects. The Run-For-the-Border-In-Your-Face-Conservatives Cheap Labor Express.
And then there’s Jeb!.....
Good for President Trump!
This is the fault of the Iowa agribusiness that wanted a cheap labor source, and their prostitute politicians who did what they said for money.
Neither cared about Mollie.
The #FakeNews Media thought they were going to ignore this story.
Keep pushing the consequences of the Left’s actions down their collective throats, Mr. President. Don’t ever let up.
Heck, Bush would've sent Air Force One to Mexico with green cards and return transport for all the perp's extended "la familia".
Is the suspect an illegal?
Trump stresses these atrocities on a regular basis.
You can always tell that a news site is left wing/Fake News when they use the made up term “undocumented immigrant”.
Yes very sad
Just enforce the ones we got and get rid of judges who make law.
We do not need new laws. We need to enforce the ones we have.
I prefer criminal invaders myself.
Yes.
While this is a tragedy, the MSM can’t cover this one up and not report it. Her disappearance was national news, the sad fact that it was an illegal cannot be covered up.
Shouldn’t that Headline say PRESIDENT Trump?
OF COURSE!
Or ‘death” rather than murder, with no details.
