Gov. Wes Moore (D-Md.) Blames Congressional Republicans for Border Fiasco Following Migrant Murder
Has anyone but me actually read the Senate border bill?

Rachel Morin, a 37-year-old mother of five, was raped and killed while walking on a suburban trail in Harford County, Md., last August. The suspect, Victor Martinez Hernandez, is a 23-year-old migrant from El Salvador who reportedly entered illegally in February 2023, a month after the murder of a young woman there for which he was charged. He’s also a suspect in a “brutal” March 2023 home invasion in Los Angeles, during which a mother and her nine-year-old daughter were assaulted. The case has triggered a debate over responsibility for the fiasco at the Southwest border, with Maryland Democratic Gov. Wes Moore blaming congressional Republicans for failing to pass the so-called “bipartisan” Senate border bill — a bill I’m increasingly convinced that nobody, except me, has ever bothered to read, and one that would undermine, not support, border security and public safety.
Rape and Murder on the “Ma & Pa”. Morin was last seen alive around 6 p.m. on August 5, 2023, walking along the “Ma & Pa Heritage Trail”, so called because it runs along the track bed of the former Maryland and Pennsylvania Railway. It’s a popular — but heavily wooded — jogging and biking route in suburban Harford County northeast of Baltimore.
Morin failed to return home, and her boyfriend notified the authorities of her disappearance that night. Morin’s body was found in a drainpipe near the trail the next day by a volunteer searcher, naked in a pool of blood with severe head trauma near a blood-stained rock.
The Investigation and the Arrest. It was quickly determined that DNA collected at the scene matched that of the suspect in a March 2023 attack in Los Angeles, during which a mother and her nine-year-old daughter were “violently assaulted” during what was described as a “home invasion”. Video from that scene revealed the offender to be a Hispanic male of medium height and build. The DNA led investigators to suspect Hernandez.
