Karine Jean-Pierre responds to AOC: Biden has 'done more than anybody' to secure the border
Fox News ^ | 8/31/23 | Brianna Herlihy

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Thursday said that President Joe Biden has "done more" to secure the souther border and deal with the immigration crisis "than anybody else."

Her comments come after fellow Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told the New York Times that immigration is the Biden administration's "weakest issue."

"The president has done more to secure the border and to deal with this issue of immigration than anybody else. He really has!" Jean-Pierre said Thursday.

"Look, the president has done what he can from here, from the federal government, from the White House to put forth and manage our border in a safe and humane way to respect the dignity of every human, as he says all the time, and making sure that our communities are safe," she added.

The press secretary went on to say "the system is broken" and that Republicans "refuse to work with the White House in "a bipartisan way."

In her interview with the New York Times, Ocasio-Cortez stated that "Immigration is arguably this administration’s weakest issue. This is one area where our policy is dictated by politics, arguably more so than almost any other."

She claimed that the current administration hasn’t listened to her or other progressive lawmakers’ policy recommendations on the issue because they fear political repercussions.

"There are very clear recommendations and suggestions that we have made to the administration to provide relief on this issue, and it’s my belief that some of the hesitation around this has to do with a fear around just being seen as approving or providing permission structures, or really just the Republican narratives that have surrounded immigration," she said.

Karine Jean-Pierre was also asked why President Biden did not meet with New York Gov. Kathy Hochul on Wednesday.

When you run out of plausible lies just tell crazy lies. The media won’t report what you said anyway. Is that about right?

Speaking from a geological and historical perspective you would be correct...

Well, let’s look at it from the Biden Perspective. Biden has done more to secure the border for the Great Replacement than any president. That’s what she means.

The left-—Make up a term or story and anyone that tries to refute it is a “denier” or spreading “misinformation”.

Directive from their leader Saul Alinsky AKA “lucifer”.

Why does the media allow Biden to never hold actual press conferences, what possibly could they be covering up? /s

Office space? Follow NYC’s lead on the housing issue. Fill all the hotels first. It’s good for the economy! It guarantees 100% occupancy in hotels and that translates to jobs and income to a very important sector of the economy. All that we need to do to create ideal economic conditions is “rearrange” where money goes. That is optimally determined by centralized economists employed by government for the benefit of all Americans. It’s an investment that cannot afford to not make.

One of the prerequisites for being a Progressive is to be able to lie with a straight face.

I don’t call selling off materials to build the wall doing something for illegal immigration, unless promoting it and advocating for it openly is actually doing something.

She may or may not be that stupid. Her only job is to spew whatever talking points they give her in exchange for a nice fat paycheck and government benefits. She likely could not care less about the veracity, logic, or anything else about what she spews. Also probably realizes she couldn’t get a job outside of corrupt government.
