President Joe Biden says he regrets using the term “illegal' during his State of the Union address to describe the suspected killer of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley
President Joe Biden said Saturday that he regrets using the term “illegal” during his State of the Union address to describe the suspected killer of Laken Riley, as his all-but-certain 2024 rival Donald Trump blamed Biden for her death at a rally attended by the Georgia nursing student’s family. Biden expressed remorse in an interview Saturday after facing frustration from some in his party for the use of the term to describe people who arrived or are living in the U.S. illegally.
Biden used the term Thursday night during an exchange in which the president pressed Republicans in his address to pass a bipartisan border security deal that fell apart after Trump opposed it. U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a stalwart Trump ally, then shouted at the president to say Riley ’s name, adding she was killed “by an illegal.” “By an illegal, that’s right,” Biden responded immediately, before appearing to ask how many people are being killed by “legals.
