#shorts On 1/27/2023, a reporter pressed on White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, “On 1/27/2023, a reporter asked White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, “Karine, I spoke with the New York City Mayor, Eric Adams, this afternoon. And he’s just very concerned, as he’s said in media appearances in recent days, that the White House is not doing enough to prepare for a new surge of migrants, many of whom are going to end up in cities like Chicago, New York, here in D.C.
And then, as you know, it’s not just DeSantis and Abbott sending buses of migrants to these cities. It’s Jared Polis, a Democrat from Colorado as well. So, what do you have to say to those concerns from Mayor Adams?
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: Look, here’s what I would say — and I said it — I answered this question with one of your colleagues, which is: We believe and we have seen the numbers and the data that the board enforcement measures have dramatically reduced the number of people attempting to enter the country … And so, that’s because of the measures that the President has put forth … Look, you know, when the President walked in, the very first piece of legislation that he put forth was an immigration reform bill. That’s how seriously he took this … And I know you mentioned a couple of Repub- — Democrats, but the vast majority of folks who have been pushing back against this have been Republicans. We’ve seen very, very — in a stark way — the political stunts that they have taken … as we’ve seen, and those actions are actually working. And so, that’s what I — that’s how I would answer your question.
