#shorts On 1/6/2023, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre says Biden “inherited a mess” at southern border, absurdly blames republicans. A reporter asked her, ” Just in terms of comprehensive immigration reform, which obviously the President has called on Congress to enact over and over again, what is his sort of theory of the case right now for getting that done? Will he be taking his own actions to do outreach to members? Does he basically consider that a top priority going into the new Congress?”
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: So, first of all, it is a top priority. I mean, the President put forth a comprehensive immigration reform on day one. So … look, I also want to just put this in a broader context here. The President inherited a mess because of what the last administration did. They herited a — we inherited a mess. And, you know, Republicans in Congress made it worse by blocking comprehensive immigration reform.
And so what you’re seeing from this President is he’s acting — he’s acting to protect — to continue to protect the border, secure the border, and also deal with irregular migration.
