The mom of an autistic woman who was brutally raped and murdered by a MS-13 gang member in the US illegally warned Wednesday that the border crisis was “going to be a lot worse” if Kamala Harris is elected as president.
Tammy Nobles, whose 20-year-old daughter Kayla Hamilton was strangled to death in 2022 by Walter Martinez, an immigrant who illegally entered the country from El Salvador, told “Fox & Friends” that she didn’t trust the vice president’s immigration plan.
“It’s just going to get worse. If she gets elected, it’s going to be a lot worse than it is now,” Nobles said of the violence tied to the border crisis. “It is just not going to be the kind of country people want.”
Martinez, who crossed the border under the Biden Administration, pleaded guilty to Hamilton’s murder and was sentenced to 70 years in prison.
Nobles slammed Biden and Harris’ border policies for allowing Martinez to enter the country without a background check or vetting.
“He was a known gang member of MS-13 and had a criminal record in 2020 in El Salvador. It took her murder and the local police to find that information out,” Nobles said.
Meanwhile, Harris has defended the current administration’s handling of the border crisis, all while flaunting her plan to establish an “earned pathway to citizenship” for migrants who cross the border illegally if she is elected.
Nobles, who has testified before Congress about the Biden administration’s immigration policies, also responded to claims made by Democrats, including Congresswoman Veronica Escobar (D-Texas), that parents like her are being exploited by Republican leaders for political gain.
“I have been to Congress several times and I hear the same thing from her that we’re being exploited and that it’s a political stunt,” Nobles said.
She added: “Nobody is forcing us to be there, we want to be there. I want to be there for my daughter. I’m not doing this for any political reason it is for my daughter and to prevent this from happening to someone else’s child.”
