The brother of Rachel Morin, a mother of five from Maryland who was tragically killed, delivered a powerful speech criticizing President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris during the second night of the GOP convention in Milwaukee.
Michael Morin described his sister as a vibrant athlete and mother who fell victim to a brutal attack by a suspected illegal immigrant in Harford County, Md.
He went on to express his belief that Rachel’s death could have been prevented if stricter border control measures were in place.
Michael criticized Biden and Harris for their immigration policies, which he believes allowed Rachel’s killer to enter the country unchecked.
He also highlighted the lack of communication and empathy from the current administration, contrasting it with the support he received from former President Trump.
The tragic incident involved Victor Martinez-Hernandez, a migrant from El Salvador with a history of violent crimes, who illegally entered the US and committed the heinous act.
Despite calls for accountability, Michael expressed disappointment in the lack of acknowledgment or apology from Biden and Harris.
Former President Trump, on the other hand, reached out to the Morin family and expressed his condolences, demonstrating what Michael views as true leadership.
Trump has been vocal in blaming Biden for Rachel’s death, citing the administration’s failure to secure the border.
The parallels drawn between Rachel’s case and other similar tragedies involving illegal immigrants further fueled the debate on border security and immigration policies.
Concerns have been raised about the possibility of additional victims of Martinez-Hernandez coming forward, prompting Rachel’s family to urge anyone with information to speak out.
