Q: NYC migrants be housed with residents, poor ability to manage border? A: free $200M to cities
On 6/6/2023, Fox News correspondent Jacqui Heinrich asked Karine Jean-Pierre, “And the New York City mayor floated plans to have migrants be housed with residents. Is that something the administration would support? And if that ends up becoming necessary, would that be a poor reflection on the administration’s ability to manage the border?
KJP: So I haven’t seen those reports. I kind of saw some chyrons on — on the cable news network — I think yours — coming out to the podium … As you know, there is more than $200 million in funding that has gone to these interior — interior cities. A majority of that has gone to New York City. But just not going to speak to the mayor’s policies. I just don’t know much — enough about it to — to speak to it at this time.
Karine Jean-Pierre: “We’ve Seen Legal Migration Go Down…Significantly” Under Biden (Not True)
On 6/6/2023, Fox News correspondent Jacqui Heinrich asked Karine Jean-Pierre, “And the retirements upcoming, the border chief and the ICE — the ICE chief, is that going to impact the administration’s ability to manage the border in the near term?
KJP: So, look, I — from what I understand, their retirements was — was — has been planned for some time now. And — and so just going to leave that piece to them. And certainly they can speak to — to their retirement. What I can speak to is what we have seen these past couple of weeks since Title 42 has been lifted. We have seen — we’ve seen legal migration go down — go down significantly. And that’s because of the plan that this President has put forward.
You think about diplomacy, you think about deterrence, you think about making sure that we’re expanding legal pathways — that’s what the President and his administration has been able to do. And that’s why we have seen such a decline at the border. And I think that speaks to the President’s leadership and what he’s been able to do with his team. And I think that’s incredibly important.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Tuesday said LEGAL migration is down significantly because of Joe Biden’s plan. Meanwhile ILLEGAL immigration is at an all time high thanks to Joe Biden. More than 5 million illegals have crossed over the US border since Joe Biden was installed in January 2021.
Q: You said negotiate Medicare but 5th & 1st Amendment? A: I’ve been very clear every equity, economy
Reporter: You said at the top that there’s nothing in the Constitution that prevents Medicare from negotiating. The lawyers for Merck are arguing that it violates the Fifth Amendment, the Takings Clause; the First Amendment, it’s too coercive. Do you have a specific response to those arguments?
KJP: I don’t have a response to that … I’ve been very clear that it is in the Constitution to do what it is that we’re moving forward with. This is a piece of legislation, clearly, that was passed, the President signed into law … we have equity at everything that we do, and that we have an economy that grows from the middle up and the — bottom up …

KJP: — a day over 21. So, Happy Birthday, my friend.
And I also want to congratulate Scott. Scott, this is your last day … As you know, we don’t have a lot of time because the President is going to be holding his Cabinet meeting. So I’m sure Kirby will be as brief as he can and take as many questions as he can.
