Karine Jean-Pierre asserts Biden halts illegal border crossings.
White House Press Secretary Claims Biden Administration is Stopping Illegal Immigration Despite Evidence
During a White House press briefing, Karine Jean-Pierre, the White House Press Secretary, made a bold claim that the Biden administration was successfully halting the flow of illegal immigration into the United States through the southern border. This statement comes despite the fact that officials have documented millions of illegal border crossings.
The press secretary’s remarks were in response to New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ statement that any plan that does not include stopping the flow at the border is a failed plan. When questioned about why the administration was failing to stop illegal immigration, Jean-Pierre defended their actions, stating, “We are stopping the flow at the border. If anything, the president has been able to do on his own, without the help of Republicans in Congress, something that he had to do on his own.”
Attempting to shift blame, Jean-Pierre spun the administration’s border crisis by accusing Republicans of refusing to provide the necessary funding to address the situation. She claimed that Republicans were playing politics while President Biden’s plan was effectively slowing down the unlawful migration, as supported by data.

TRANSCRIPT:
REPORTER: Thank you. Eric Adams, the New York mayor, is saying about these migrants in New York City, “Any plan that does not include stopping the flow at the border is a failed plan.” So, why aren’t you guys stopping the flow at the border?
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: We are stopping the flow at the border. If anything, the — what the President has been able to do on his own, without the help of Republicans in Congress — something that he had to do on his own, again, because Republicans refused to give the funding necessary to deal with a situation imm- — a broken immigration system that has been broken for decades.
They choose — what they choose to do is play politics, but the pers- — the President has put a plan that is — indeed, the data is showing is — that it is indeed stopping, slowing down the flow of unlawful migration. And that is because of the work that this President continues to do without — without the help of Republicans.
