The White House press briefings come across more and more like a “Saturday Night Live” skit, with diversity hire Karine Jean-Pierre playing the starring role.
On Tuesday, President Biden’s spokesperson claimed that security was an issue that the president has “taken very, very seriously since day one of his administration.”
This comes after more than 5 million illegal immigrants have invaded the United States under his watch with record numbers coming every week. As comical as the claim is, Jean-Pierre would top that when she declared that too much emphasis on the wide open border only helps smugglers working for the cartels in Mexico.
Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy pointed out that there are “roughly 7,000 migrants crossing every day illegally,” to ask KJP if the White House believes the border is secure.
Dodging the question, she said that the administration has made it “a priority to make sure that there’s border security measures,” prompting the follow-up, “Is it working?”

“But, look, here’s the thing, the President has taken historic actions — right? — that no other president has been able to do,” Jean-Pierre replied, before talking about putting more Border Patrol agents in place, and before waxing on about “putting a plan in place that we deal with the smugglers.”
The affirmative action press secretary then dropped this gem: “And we have to be very careful here on how we talk about this. Because if we talk about it in a way that is misinformation, then it helps the smugglers — and so, these are the issues that the President has taken incredibly seriously.”
In reality, smugglers are getting all the help they need as historic levels of drug smuggling and human trafficking take place along the southern border they largely control:
NEW: More than 1.2 million fentanyl pills, 4 lbs of fentanyl powder, and 37 lbs of meth were seized from smugglers by @CBP officers at the port of entry in Nogales, AZ yesterday. One port of entry. One day. The narcotics were seized in two separate cars.

The additional agents Jean-Pierre referenced are needed just to process the vast numbers crossing the border daily, with most being released into the country — a flow of humanity that leaves one with the distinct impression that Democrats intend to allow in as many illegal immigrants as humanly possible during Biden’s tenure.
Jean-Pierre used the term “irregular migration” more than once to describe the ongoing invasion as if the policies of this White House are not serving as a major enticement for those making the dangerous trek to America. Corporate media turns a blind eye to the hundreds of deaths that occur on a journey where countless young women are raped somewhere along the way. A reality some have described as crimes against humanity being aided and abetted by the current administration.
Here’s a quick sampling of responses to the story from Twitter:
I guess if it was a big secret that millions of people have crossed the southern border in 2 years, then it would.

One way to prevent misinformation is by answering questions when you are asked….

Some day, could we please go back to having real people instead of cartoon characters in these government positions?

He’s willing to “work with” anybody to enact HIS plan? That’s not “working with”. That’s everybody working for him. So far, his plan looks terrible. Also, what is the “issue”? They have said the border is closed and there is no problem at the border.
