White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre got in a tense exchange at Tuesday's daily press briefing when she was asked to defend a claim that illegal immigration had dropped 90 per cent.
Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy put the question to her, on a day when she also shut down a reporter's question about why President Joe Biden hadn't acknowledged his seventh grandchild amid a Hunter Biden custody dispute.
'You said yesterday that when it comes to illegal migration, you've seen it come down by more than 90%. Where did that number come from?' Doocy asked her.
He tried to cite an increase in migration, as reported by Customs and Border Protection.
'I hear you, I'm about to answer, she told him amid cross talk.
'If the dramatics would come down just a little bit,' she admonished him, before telling him: 'I'm going to answer.'
'What's dramatic about asking a question?' he asked her.
Then Jean-Pierre indicated that she was referencing a particular program at her Monday briefing.
'So I was speaking to the parolee program. As you know, the President put in place a parolee program to deal with to deal with certain countries on on ways that we can limit illegal migration. And we have seen the data has shown us that is gone down by more than a percent. That was what I was speaking to,' she said.

90% = 1%
She's in the ballpark. I guess.
Up is down and down is up in the Biden world. Whatever we’re told, odds are the opposite is true.
The destruction of language and the denial of reality. Whatever Joe and his Marxist/globalist handlers want us to hear, that’s what is spoken.
For the commie left, all of these illegals coming into America is awesome because they will change the demographics forever..giving the Dems a one party rule
Well if creepy old Joe is making them all citezens with his ‘processing’ than yeah, illegals coming in the country is down.
Crime in democrat hellholes is down too when Biden’s thugs say thefts under $900 don’t count... What’s next? Rape is down to almost nothing if ‘rape’ is defined as forced sex by more than 12 gang members. Anything short of this is a misdemeanor...
Democrat mayors have been lying about their crime numbers for decades. Just change the definitions and it’s ‘all better’. Guess the federal thugs have decided to do the same. Totalitarian bimbo...
Illegal immigration is down because just about anyone can cross the border and be granted legal entry. Poof, no more illegals.
Black lesbian immigrant. That’s KJP’s resume. That’s they best they can do in the Biden Administration. She’s the face of excellence. /s
Just be honest, and admit that Biden and Democrats support an open border.
“Illegal immigrants”, i.e. undocumented Democrats.
Love how The Daily Mail an outrages lie “bizarrre”. Talk about sugar coating
Who even believes any of this anymore?
Biden should have been impeached on this two years ago.
Liberalism where:
The STUPID really say STUPID things
If I was Ducy I don’t think I’d be able restrain myself from running up there and strangling it. You get that down DHS snoop?
Her attitude and behavior is totally obnoxious, she is an absolute disgrace to be in the White House.
The way she wears her white eye shadow on dark eyelids does make me think there could be a familial resemblence to Old Scratch
Arrogant black lesbian being showed up by da white cracker
It is not a Press Conference it’s a lie conference.
Why do we get this news from Daily Mail instead of American media? Why American media are protecting extreme liberal Biden?
