Remember Kayla Hamilton? Of course not—most people never heard of her. The fake news ignored her story because she was brutally raped and murdered by an illegal alien.
FAIR:
On Tuesday evening, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 4371, the Kayla Hamilton Act, by vote of 225-201, with all Republicans and seven Democrats voting in support. The bill would make significant strides to protect American communities and combat trafficking by enhancing the vetting of unaccompanied alien children (UACs) and their sponsors.
The bill is named for Kayla Hamilton, a 20-year-old Maryland woman who was brutally raped and strangled to death in Aberdeen, Maryland in July 2022 by a 16-year-old illegal alien from El Salvador. Despite his MS-13 gang ties, gang tattoos, and even a prior arrest for MS-13 affiliation in El Salvador, her murderer was allowed into the country as a UAC and placed with a sponsor.
During the Biden administration, a record number of UACs, more than 500,000, arrived at our borders. Facing this deluge, that administration prioritized speed over proper vetting to quickly place children with sponsors. Sadly, those policies led to numerous reports of migrant children who were placed into abusive households or even trafficked. In 2023, a Florida Grand Jury report found that tens of thousands of UACs had been placed with sponsors who were unknown to the minors and that the government was often unaware of who the sponsors were. The Florida grand jury also detailed many instances of abuse and sexual assault of UACs after being placed with sponsors. READ MORE
