An overwhelming majority of American Hispanics say that it was not problematic for President Joe Biden to refer to the illegal immigrant accused of killing and disfiguring Georgia nursing student Laken Riley as an “illegal,” according to new Harvard-Harris Poll results.

Biden received flak from far-left Democrats after using the allegedly troublesome term to describe Riley’s killer during his State of the Union address in early March, leading him to apologize.
