#shorts On 12/19/2022, Fox News White House correspondent Jacqui Heinrich asked White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre about the agents and officials in El Paso, Texas, becoming increasingly overwhelmed by the surge in migrations and the lack of resources to assist them. Jean-Pierre answered by saying the Biden administration is in “constant communication” with the mayor of El Paso and is working to increase resources and funding at the border. Heinrich asked KJP, “El Paso’s Democratic mayor has declared a state of emergency. And he said that he would only do that when he felt he could no longer keep his community or the asylum seekers safe. He’s saying that that time is now, ahead of Title 42 expiring. What is the White House response to that?

KJP: So, look, we have — from day one, President Biden has taken steps to reduce disorderly migration while expanding legal pathways for orderly migration. We are in constant communication with the mayor of El Paso … we’re surging — we’re surging resources to the border. We’re going to continue to do the work that is needed … We’re going to ask for the additional funding — the $3.5 billion additional funding requests from — from Congress … Again, we’re going to continue to ask for additional funding from — from Congress to assist us in dealing with this challenge at this time.
