Brother of mother of five rips Biden after she was murdered by an illegal immigrant
Michael Morin, brother of Rachel Morin spoke at Republican Convention

The family of a mother of five who was murdered by an illegal immigrant slammed the Biden administration on Tuesday night for having "opened our borders" to the man accused of killing her.
Michael Morin, the brother of Rachel Morin, spoke at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Morin was killed in August after going out for a jog on a trail near her home in Maryland. Police found her body in a culvert, covered in bruises and with severe head trauma.
"Rachel, a joyful, accomplished athlete and mother of five was raped and murdered by a suspected illegal immigrant," Michael Morin told the crowd at the Republican National Convention. "This was described as among the most brutal and violent offenses that has ever occurred in Harford County, Maryland history." Victor Antonio Martinez-Hernandez, 23, faces a half-dozen charges, including first-degree murder, rape, and kidnapping, in connection with Rachel Morin's death. Officials said Martinez Hernandez, who has suspected gang ties, fled his home country in February 2023 after a warrant was issued for the murder of a woman there.

He made three unsuccessful attempts to enter the United States before making it across the border on Feb. 13, 2023 near El Paso, Texas, authorities said.
Rachel’s brother slammed those who advocate for open borders. "Open borders are often portrayed as compassionate and virtuous. But there is nothing compassionate about allowing violent criminals into our country and robbing children of their mother," he said. He then criticized the Biden administration for its policies at the border.
"Joe Biden and his designated border czar Kamala Harris opened our borders to him and others like him, empowering them to victimize the innocent," Michael Morin said.
He said they had not heard from the White House but had heard from former President Donald Trump.
Rachel's mom Patty Morin rips Biden's indifference to border crisis: He's in an 'ivory tower'. The loss of her daughter has left her in psychological shambles. "It's like you have a candle and all of a sudden you just blow it out," she said of Rachel's death. "And all-around America there are these lights just being blown out."
Patty Morin said, "I don't want to underestimate the importance of what's going on along the southern border. We're almost two thousand miles away from it and we've had two murders in the county that I live in, and Rachel lived in, so it has come all way up from the southern boarder"

Michael Morin's speech came on day two of the RNC, where the theme was "Make America Secure Again." Republicans repeatedly hammered the administration on the ongoing crisis at the southern border, accusing it of fueling the crisis by opening the border and rolling back Trump-era policies.
Before Michael Morin spoke, attendees heard an emotional speech from Anne Fundner, a mother who lost her son to fentanyl.
The Biden administration says it has worked to solve the hemisphere-wide crisis but has struggled because Congress has failed to provide funding and comprehensive immigration reform.
But it has pointed to reduced numbers since President Biden unveiled an executive order to limit some entries across the border last month. Since then, officials say, there has been a 50% drop in crossings.
Rachel Morin's mom criticized President Biden's indifference to the nation's border crisis in an emotional interview with Fox News. "It’s like they’re pretending these immigration problems don’t exist and people aren’t being harmed and killed by their policies. The victims are those that are being killed but also their loved ones that they've left behind. It's devastating to the community."
