President Joe Biden is urging Congress to pass a Senate bill to preserve a program at the U.S.-Mexico border that allowed an illegal alien charged with murder to enter the country. The bill would maintain the Catch and Release network, including a parole pipeline for border crossers. Biden's push for the bill comes after a nursing student, Laken Riley, was allegedly murdered by an illegal alien who had been released into the U.S. interior through this program.
