White House Rejects Blame For Deadly Migrant Smuggling Event In Texas, Says Border Is ‘Closed’
Daily Caller ^ | 06/28/2022 | Jennie Taer

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre rejected criticism from Republicans that the Biden administration is to blame for the human smuggling attempt that ended in tragedy Monday in Texas, saying that the border is “closed.”

At least 46 people are dead after an 18-wheeler smuggling migrants was found in San Antonio, Texas, on Monday night. It’s one of the deadliest smuggling incidents from the U.S.-Mexico border in recent decades, according to the Associated Press.

“The fact of the matter is, the border is closed, which is in part why you see people trying to make this dangerous journey using smuggling networks. Forty-six people died in the state of Texas…. Their families are still learning they lost loves ones… We’re focused on them, on the facts and on holding the human smugglers who endangered vulnerable individuals for profit accountable,” Jean-Pierre told reporters on Air Force One Tuesday, according to The Dallas Morning News.

Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott tweeted Monday that “[t]hese deaths are on Biden,” but Jean-Pierre dismissed blame for the “absolutely horrific and heartbreaking” event.

Thousands walk across the border unmolested every day, but
“the border is closed.” Right.

The Border Is Closed.

Just.

Wow.

I used to scoff and snicker at stories from the Soviet Union where they outright lied to the people, everyone, including those doing the lying knew it was all lies, but still they lied.

And here we are.

“How many more Americans and migrants have to die before we say enough is enough and demand the Biden administration take back our borders...”

This is unreal...Haven’t we been demanding this since Biden opened the border?

They get away with saying what ever they want.

This is another story that will be forgotten by the end of the day.

The Russians are laughing and scoffing us now. The world sees us as a laughing stock now. We are a nation led by fools these days. Even our military has become the butt of jokes now. It’s embarrassing.

Transitory is long-term.

Domestic terrorists are law abiding parents.

This is what you get when you hire a “black, female, lesbian, immigrant” (her first words as press secretary). This is what you get from a Democrat resident.

I’m surprised they didn’t try to blame Putin for this. The current White House occupants refuse to take the blame for anything that happens and always try to find a scapegoat

The border is closed? 50 dead Mexicans in an 18 wheeler would beg to differ.

The border is closed.
The border has always been closed.

The border is closed, but an 18 wheeler full of illegals came across the boarder. OK.
