Hermanio Joseph, the illegal Haitian national who killed 11-year-old Aiden Clark after hitting a school bus while driving illegally, had entered the U.S. at the southern border in 2022 under the Biden administration’s policies.

Joseph, who was released into the country with a Notice to Appear in federal court, was driving with an invalid Mexican driver’s license when he crossed the center line of the road, causing the fatal collision.

This crash resulted in the bus flipping over, leading to the tragic death of Aiden Clark and injuring 23 other students. Joseph’s reckless actions and unlawful presence in the country have ignited criticism of the administration’s border policies.

And while most sane people would acknowledge the fact that a person who is in the country illegally and driving without a license is a recipe for disaster, Aiden’s father is exploiting his son’s death to pander to the left by embracing their divisive rhetoric.

Instead of recognizing the clear failures of the Biden/Harris administration that allowed someone like Joseph to remain in the country and cause such a tragedy, he chooses to target Republicans and conservatives who are simply advocating for law enforcement and secure borders.

By using emotionally charged language like “hate” and “hatred,” he’s painting those who want to prevent similar tragedies as morally corrupt, while conveniently ignoring the actual legal and safety issues that led to his son’s death.

This attempt to silence the legitimate concerns surrounding illegal immigration not only undermines those advocating for law and order but also ironically turns his son’s death into a political tool—precisely what he accuses others of doing.

And, just because Aiden had a terrible father who cares more about pandering to the left than enforcing the rule of law doesn’t mean we don’t seek justice against illegal immigration.
