[quote=Anonymous]President Joe Biden flubbed the name of Laken Riley, the young woman whose death has become a symbol of the border crisis after an illegal immigrant was charged with her murder.

Speaking to millions of Americans

in his annual State of the Union address the president twice called her 'Lincoln' as he held up a pin bearing her name, which had been given to him by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.

But when he talked about a bill to increase border security, that was killed by Republicans after Trump came out against it, GOP lawmakers booed him.

Greene, who was wearing a shirt with Riley's name, then shouted at Biden 'say her name.'

'Lincoln, Lincoln Riley,' Biden said, holding up the pin. 'An innocent young woman who was killed by an illegal.

'But how many of thousands of people being killed by legals? To her parents I say my heart goes out to you, having lost children myself, I understand,' he said.

The homicide conviction rate for illegal immigrants was 2.4 per 100,000 illegal immigrants in 2015, which is lower than the homicide conviction rate of 2.8 per 100,000 for native‐born Americans. Legal immigrants still have the lowest homicide conviction rate at 1.1 per 100,000 legal immigrants. Those rates are similar across the years for which data are available.
