Karine Jean-Pierre Says She Has “Not Seen Any Data” To Show Biden’s Border Policies Have Failed
Reporter: On the southern border. In an interview with CBS News, House Speaker Johnson said, “On his first day in office, President Biden came in and issued executive orders that began this chaos.” Did any of the administration’s policies contribute to the record number of border crossings?
KJP: What I can say is this. On his first day in this administration, the President put forth a comprehensive immigration piece of legislation to deal … what we continue to see from Speaker Johnson and Republicans — House Republicans — I know Jacqui asked a question about something that I said yesterday. In May — and I’ll repeat it; I’ll repeat what I said yesterday — in May, House Republicans decided to vote on a bill that would cut 2,000 Border suppo- — Border Patrol agents at the border. That’s what they did. That’s what they did. And they continue to obstruct and get in the way of trying to — of the President wanting to move forward with a supplemental that includes border security. They’re getting in the way of it. They’re — they are.
While Senate Republicans and Democrats in a bipartisan way are trying to find a way — bipartisan agreement to deal with border security, you have House Republicans who left. They left in the middle of December. And I think they come back next week. Maybe they’ll get some work done. Instead, they’re playing politics.
Reporter: So, is that a no?
KJP: Look, what I can say is what the President has done. I’m not going to speak to data. I have not seen any data that would show this. So, certainly I can’t speak to that.
What I can say is the — the actions and what the President has done and how seriously he has taken this — on his first day, his first day — understanding that this system has been broken for decades. This immigration system has been broken for decades.
