Mom of murdered Rachel Morin sends open letter to Harris with border demands: 'Act now and save lives'

FIRST ON FOX: The mother of a woman who was allegedly killed by a Salvadoran illegal immigrant has written to Vice President Kamala Harris calling on her to "take immediate action" to close the border and require the removal of millions of illegal immigrants.

"I demand that you take immediate action today and sign an executive order closing our southern border. Furthermore, require every single person who has entered our country illegally over the past three and half years to return to their home countries," Patty Morin says in a letter to Harris, first obtained by Fox News Digital. 

"The time for decisive action is now. This is about protecting our citizens and ensuring that the immigrants who come to America are here to contribute to our great society."

'OUR PEOPLE ARE DYING': RACHEL MORIN'S MOM SOUNDS ALARM ABOUT ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION AFTER DAUGHTER'S MURDER

Morin's daughter Rachel was killed while jogging in Bel Air, Maryland, last year. Police found Rachel's body stuffed in a culvert and, after a months-long investigation, identified her suspected killer as an illegal immigrant from El Salvador who is also accused of murder in his home country and raping a mother and her 9-year-old daughter in Los Angeles.

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.

The case is one of a number of high-profile crimes involving illegal immigrants, drawing additional attention to the ongoing effects of the crisis at the southern border, which saw record numbers come into the U.S. under the Biden administration. Critics blame the crisis on the policies of the administration.
