North Carolina\u2019s 1st congressional district saw a drastic shift in electoral priorities following the death of a 6-year-old girl.<\/p>\n

While the district is normally focused on economic matters, a 3-time deported illegal alien changed that in a split second. Calli Toler, 6, was pronounced dead following a car wreck that allegedly occurred when Jaime Santiago Corona, a Mexican national, ran a stop sign. Now, candidates in one of the nation\u2019s poorest districts are turning their attention to the ongoing illegal immigrant crisis.<\/p>\n

Laurie Buckhout is a \u201cdecorated combat veteran, self-made businesswoman, America First conservative, mom,\u201d and a GOP candidate in the district. She addressed the tragic fatal accident in an X post on Monday.<\/p>\n

An illegal immigrant who had been deported three times ran a stop sign and killed a 6-year-old girl in Eastern North Carolina.<\/p>\n

It is absolutely devastating and horrific.<\/p>\n

For four years, the Biden Administration left our border wide open while Don Davis stood by. He even voted\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cAn illegal immigrant who had been deported three times ran a stop sign and killed a 6-year-old girl in Eastern North Carolina. It is absolutely devastating and horrific. For four years, the Biden Administration left our border wide open while Don Davis stood by. He even voted AGAINST $305 billion in border security funding that would have provided more Border Patrol agents, ICE officers, and other resources to help secure our border,\u201d she wrote. \u201cNow, a little girl is gone because Democrats refused to put Americans first and keep our communities safe. As your Congresswoman, I\u2019ll fight like heck to secure our border and do everything I can to keep the people of Eastern North Carolina safe. No family should EVER have to go through this.\u201d<\/p>\n

Democratic Rep. Don Davis of Snow Hill said that Corona\u2019s driver\u2019s license was suspended at the time that he allegedly crashed into the family of three. The young girl\u2019s mother and sister miraculously survived, but now have to live with the devastation reportedly caused by a man who had been deported in 2019, 2023 and 2024 before re-entering the United States illegally. DHS Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis also revealed that Corona has prior DUI charges.<\/p>\n

Authorities who arrested the suspect confirmed that they will be working with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), but Buckhout wants to take a more proactive approach to protecting her community.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to support them more,\u201d she said of federal agents working to secure the southern border. \u201cMore technology, more access roads going down to the border so that they can access the border safely. We need to let them safely do their jobs with every technology available.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe safety of the American people depends upon it. You don\u2019t have sovereignty without a border. I mean, that\u2019s just the bottom line.\u201d<\/p>\n
