In the wake of the recent murder of Laken Riley, a 22-year-old Georgia nursing student, who was allegedly killed by an illegal immigrant who remained in the country despite previous brushes with the law, conservative podcaster Matt Walsh argued that impeached Department of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas is fully responsible for her death.
On his program earlier this week, Walsh noted Mayorkas’ appearance on CBS News’ “Face the Nation” on Sunday.
During the interview, Mayorkas tried some blame-shifting, saying the accused murderer was responsible, but so were authorities in sanctuary cities that failed to alert DHS about the suspect, Jose Antonio Ibarra.

“First and foremost, an absolute tragedy. And our hearts break four, and our prayers are with the family, number one,” Mayorkas said. “Number two, and importantly, as a prosecutor having prosecuted violent crime and other crimes for 12 years, one individual is responsible for the murder, and that is the murderer.”
Walsh vehemently disagreed.
“This illegal alien killer had already been arrested for committing multiple crimes in this country in multiple jurisdictions,” said Walsh.
“And then he says that the murder is only the fault of the murderer. And that’s not true. Now the murderer is 100% to blame for what they’ve done. So they get 100%, they get all of the blame that they could possibly hold, which is 100% of it.”
Continuing, Walsh added, “At the same time, we can acknowledge that other entities, other individuals, were also to blame. Because there were other individuals that, if they had done their job, this never would’ve happened. So they are also 100% to blame.”

“Alejandro Mayorkas himself is to blame. He’s 100% to blame. 100%. He may as well have murdered her himself. That’s how much of the blame he has. Because if you do your job, this doesn’t happen.”
“When you’ve got government officials who obviously are aware that there are violent, illegal criminals that are coming into the country and they choose not to deport these people, then really they should be held legally responsible for everything that happens after,” said Walsh.
In response to a question as to whether some of the places that had arrested Ibarra, such as New York City, Mayorkas argued that “different cities have different levels of cooperation [with the federal government]. We were not notified in this instance.”
Walsh countered that could not be true.
“We know that’s not true. Because if it was true, you would state that from the beginning. Like if the federal government was never told that this guy was in the country, if he’s committing multiple crimes and it was never reported that it never went up the chain, then the very first thing you would do is say no.”
“You know, when we talk about the Great Replacement [Theory], I think it must be said that this is part of the replacement,” Walsh concluded.

“When you have the dregs of humanity who are allowed into this country and then prove themselves to be the dregs of humanity by how they conduct themselves and they’re allowed to stay here and eventually they victimize some American citizen, someone who’s like just a normal, a productive member of society, law-abiding, and they kill them.”
“So what we’ve done is we’ve swapped … Laken Riley for Jose Antonio Ibarra because she’s dead now and now we have him. That is very much a part of the replacement that’s happening.”
