The White House sidestepped a question about why it continues to let untested and unvaccinated illegal immigrants into the United States while tennis star Novak Djokovic is not allowed to enter to play in this year's U.S. Open.
Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy questioned the Biden administration about the paradox during Monday's news briefing.
"How come migrants are allowed to come into this country unvaccinated, but world-class tennis players are not?" he asked White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.
"The U.S. government cannot discuss the details of individual visa cases. Due to privacy reasons, the U.S. also does not comment on medical information of individual travelers as it relates to this tennis player," she replied.
Djokovic, the 2022 Wimbledon champion, will miss the U.S. Open over his refusal to get vaccinated.
Jean-Pierre deferred the question to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which she said has its own protocols, saying "it's two different things."
Doocy further pressed Jean-Pierre on remarks.
"Somebody unvaccinated comes over on a plane, you say that's not okay. Somebody walks into Texas or Arizona unvaccinated, they're allowed to stay?"
"That's not how it works. ... It's not like someone walks over," she replied.
"That's exactly what is happening!" Doocy responded. "Thousands of people are walking in a day. Some of them turn themselves over. Some of them are caught. Tens of thousands a week are not. That is what is happening."

Because the! tennis player is white
Because shut up.
Because destroying the American worker is job #1.
Just ask George W. “See ya at the bill signing!” Bush.
Karine would know how to wrap her brain around the point of the question. She takes the easy way out.
“I can’t say nothing about that... Next question!!”
This gal is just terrible at her job. I guess lying and covering lies is tiring but most RATs are naturals at coming up with lies. She is not. She just looks like a stupid liar.

I’ll field that one. The Democrats assume that most migrants will vote Democrat, even if they are not technically citizens yet. On the other hand, foreign tennis players definitely cannot vote. So who cares about them?
One tennis player is different that two million illegal aliens.
Tennis players move all over the place and very fast. Might infect a lot of people.
“Because shut up.” He explained.
Flawlessly logical.
2 different things... just means a democrat double standard.
There aren’t any people walking across the border.
She lies like Biden.
Shut up, they explained.
Quite true actually, one is somebody people wanted to see in America.
US Open sponsor
He probably should have entered the US through our southern border.
The administration is so full of it.
Black, lesbian, immigrant … there’s three categories of people destroying America rolled into one.
Well, yes, in some sense that is true.
A world renowned tennis star is not illegally entering the country, trafficking drugs and women and children, and sucking off the government teat indefinitely.
