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.

Karine Jean-Pierre:
"President Joe Biden has done more to secure the southern border and deal with the immigration crisis than anybody else."

"And how do I know?"

"It says so right here in the talking points memo given to me by my Marxist handlers!"

I think they lie so blatantly because they want to piss us off and get us to start something so they can really get a full clampdown in motion.

I suppose if the black lesbian immigrant keeps repeating these lies that eventually all black lesbian immigrants will think the lies are actually the truth.

I think this just means that the DC area is not getting their “fare share” of deliveries from Texas.

As there must be a TON of empty offices from Gov emps refusing to go back to work.

I would assume there is plenty of space to house these people.

It is possible that she believes this. If you rule out all of the routine and effective enforcement measures as inhumane, he’s probably doing the best of what’s left.

It’s like if you want to lose weight but refuse healthy foods as an option to help you achieve that goal, you probably will do the best anybody can ever expect on a diet of nachos, burgers and ice cream. You will blow up like a balloon, but who can expect you to do any better?

Biden is selling off all the fence panels stacked and waiting to be installed. And they would have been had Trump been in charge these last 3 years.

“””I think they lie so blatantly because they want to piss us off and get us to start something so they can really get a full clampdown in motion.”””


I agree. At the end of each day the Biden Bots head to their favorite watering hole and have a big laugh about who said the most outrageous thing that day in order to irritate the proles.

Ms. Jean-Pierre says the border is “secure”. What I really want to say to her in return would violate FR guidelines. So instead I’ll just say:

“Have we ever had a more stupid WH press secretary?”

Well, she proclaimed herself “historic.” Being the most stupid WH press secretary EVER would certainly make her historic.

She is living proof some people REALLY ARE as stupid as they look.

What is so astonishing about her and all the Leftists in charge now is they have no idea how ridiculous they look to the entire world. They cannot see themselves as the complete buffoons they are.

They really are mentally ill. Being convinced you are one of the great genius characters of world history when you are a mindless idiot is as delusional as it gets.
