Will Laken Riley's Murder Tip Georgia?

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

63% : "In Georgia, advocates and opponents of tightening immigration laws told me that Riley's murder has already moved the state to the right.
41% : And seventy per cent of those white voters cast ballots for Trump.
39% : By the summer, Trump and backers had made Riley's name the foremost in a litany of three victims, along with Rachel Morin, a thirty-seven-year-old mother who was killed in Maryland in 2023 by an illegal immigrant from El Salvador, and Jocelyn Nungaray, a twelve-year-old Texan who, according to police, was raped and murdered by two illegal immigrants from Venezuela.
35% : One declared that the killing was evidence "Trump was right" when he notoriously asserted, in 2015, that Mexico was "sending rapists" over the border.
33% : A photograph of her smiling face had already appeared in a video promising that Trump would "liberate" America from a deadly migrant "occupation."
33% : And both deaths occurred while Trump was running for President.
33% : Immediately after Steinle's death, Gallagher reminded the audience, Trump had tweeted about building a border wall and started "a movement."
25% : At rallies, Trump portrays Harris as an active accomplice in these deaths.
20% : If Trump narrowly wins Georgia, and with it the White House, historians may look back at Riley's murder as a critical factor -- with Jose Ibarra remembered as the Willie Horton of 2024.
17% : In Wisconsin, Trump said that Harris had effectively "murdered" them, "just like she had a gun in her hand."
8% : On a visit to stump for Harris, he argued that proposed border legislation that Biden had backed -- and Trump had helped kill -- could have prevented murders like Riley's by keeping out dangerous migrants.
