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.

How can people like her get up before those reporters and lie with a straight face? It simply boggles the mind.
Cringe-on Repair and Occasional-Cortex:
Imagine one television set watching another.
How can she shamelessly lie like this?
Question: why does anyone bother asking this low IQ fool anything? She obviously knows nothing!
They need to start piss testing FJB’s communications posse. They appear to be Lost In Space and living on another planet.
How much Botox is required to keep one’s face straight spouting this stuff?
Karine Jean-Pierre is a stupid child desperately wanting to appear as an intelligent adult.
That’s right, sadly.
This WHOLE regime is full of liars and chumps!
The system is not broken, this admin just refuses to enforce the laws on the books.
Do they ever listen to themselves and think “What a load of manure!”?
Surely this rises to the level of criminality. I thought any falsehoods were now illegal. They are for PDJT, even when he’s not lying.
She will always have a job at any network news and most of cable news.
Clinton had a problem in remembering which lies he told. Karine does not have that problem. Everyone knows if she said it, its a lie.
KJP is either the stupidest person to have ever lived or the biggest liar.
She is a habitual LIAR.
