<p>President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> ignited widespread backlash over the weekend after he apologized for correctly referring to the illegal alien who is suspected of murdering a young woman in Georgia as &#8220;an illegal&#8221; because he did not want to &#8220;disrespect&#8221; illegal immigrants.</p>
<p>The young woman — 22-year-old Georgia nursing student Laken Riley — was brutally <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/illegal-immigrant-charged-with-laken-rileys-murder-is-active-gang-member-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">murdered</a> allegedly by Venezuelan national Jose Ibarra, who is reportedly an active gang member.</p>
<p>During an <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-apologizes-for-calling-alleged-laken-riley-murderer-an-illegal-they-built-the-country">interview</a> on MSNBC, when the interviewer brought up Biden&#8217;s remark from his State of the Union speech, Biden interjected: “Undocumented. An undocumented person.”</p>
<p>“And I shouldn’t have used ‘illegal,’ it’s undocumented,” Biden claimed, even though the correct legal terminology is, in fact, “illegal alien.”</p>
<p>“What I’m not going to do, what I won’t do, I’m not gonna treat any, any, any of these people with disrespect,&#8221; Biden later added. &#8220;Look, they built the country. The reason our economy is growing. We have to control the border and more orderly flow, but I don’t share his view at all.”</p>
<p>Biden, who botched Laken Riley&#8217;s name during his speech, faced intense criticism for his apology on MSNBC.</p>
<p>&#8220;Let’s get this straight: Joe Biden just apologized to an illegal alien charged with murder,&#8221; said Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR). &#8220;But the media would rather attack @KatieBrittforAL for telling the truth about Biden’s policies. Preposterous. And the American people will see through it.&#8221;</p>

<p>The Republican Party posted on X: &#8220;Joe Biden regrets using the term &#8216;illegal&#8217; to describe an illegal immigrant, but not his policies that led to the murder of Laken Riley. Outrageous.&#8221;</p>
<p>Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) said: &#8220;That&#8217;s why he needs money for more clerks at the border&#8230;to document them as he lets them in. And the media nods and goes right along. The Democrats and the mainstream media hate the American people.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;This isn’t difficult &#8211; the term &#8216;alien&#8217; appears multiple times in Title 8 of the U.S. Code,&#8221; said former Trump-era Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf. &#8220;It describes a person who is not a citizen or national of the U.S. And when those individuals choose to enter the country illegally they become &#8216;illegal aliens.&#8217; There’s nothing derogatory about these terms.&#8221;</p>
<p>Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) said: &#8220;Disgusting. Joe Biden just apologized to the illegal alien animal who brutally murdered Laken Riley.&#8221;</p>
<p>Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin responded: &#8220;Expressing regret for accurately describing the Venezuelan illegal alien charged with bashing in Laken Riley’s skull as an &#8216;illegal&#8217; is a remarkable moment. The one and only time Biden mentions her name &#8211; he botches it &#8211; and now he hopes to avoid offending her alleged killer.&#8221;</p>
<p>Former Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker said: &#8220;Hey @JoeBiden how about apologizing for the policies that left the border open to illegal immigrants like the one who killed Laken Riley?!?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;What an absolutely pathetic embarrassment for a man…&#8221; said podcast host Dave Rubin.</p>
