Dem Rep., Biden Co-Chair Escobar on Riley Death: 'The Issue Is Not that Migrants Commit Crimes'

On Friday's broadcast of "CNN Newsroom," Biden Campaign Co-Chair Rep. Veronica Escobar (D-TX) reacted to the killing of Laken Riley by saying that while any criminals should face the fullest prosecution, "when Donald Trump was in office, over a million migrants were released. I'm sure that there was a fraction of those migrants who also committed crimes." She also said in another part of the interview that "it has been immigrant labor, the immigrant workforce that has actually propped up our economy. The challenge we face is that Congress has not created legal pathways for them."
