On 1/11/2022, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre continued to gaslight the American people and said it was just a coincidence no illegals were clucking around Joe Biden. Jean-Pierre said it was a mere coincidence there were no illegal aliens around during Biden’s drive-by photo op visit to El Paso, Texas. Fox News reporter Peter Doocy asked Jean-Pierre, “Why didn’t President Biden want to see what’s really going on at the border?”
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: He did see exactly what’s going on at the border.
Doocy: He didn’t talk to any migrants, and he didn’t go anywhere that people actually cross illegally. Why not?
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: But he also — he met — he went to the migrant center, which was a crital- — a critical place to be, when you think about the partners who are — our partners who are helping support the migrants on the ground there. There happened to be no migrants at the facility at the time that he visited.
Doocy: And is that just —
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: But let’s —
Doocy: — a coincidence?
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: But let’s —
Doocy: Because El Paso has been crushed. The shelters are full. There are overflow migrants sleeping in the streets. And then it’s just a coincidence that suddenly the President shows up and there’s no one?
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: Well, let me talk about what’s going on in El Paso, right? El Paso did go down significantly prior to the President’s visit by about 70 percent. And that’s a good thing, Peter. That’s a good thing that we’ve seen the numbers go down. And that is something that we should be saying, “Okay, that’s — good job there.” It has helped ease pressure all across the community. But the President’s visit had nothing to do with it … he has done — he has done more than any prior — prior President to secure the border and build a safe, orderly, and humane immigration system.
Joe Biden on Sunday traveled to El Paso, Texas in his first visit to the southern border ever. El Paso officials rushed to clear out the migrant camps ahead of Joe Biden’s visit. According to a local El Paso reporter, police were also arresting people ahead of Biden’s visit. “have been arresting people here maybe for paraphernalia…those types of arrests,” the reporter said. “One woman did tell us that yes, she has seen city employees out here cleaning the area in preparation for President Biden’s visit,” he said. Joe Biden didn’t see the mess he created. He toured a Customs and Border Protection parking lot.
Reporter: do you have a reaction to Governor DeSantis, a couple of days ago, claiming to activate the National Guard in res- — the Florida National Guard in response to the Cuba migration surge?
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: So, we have known for some time now — right? — we’ve seen Governor DeSantis do political stunts. That is how he — how he perceives to fix this issue from Florida. Right? And he takes — you know, he — we’re talking about people who are coming from countries who are dealing with political strife, who are dealing with issues where they’re — they’re trying to find … And he is not dealing with the problem; he’s actually creating a problem. And — and so, that’s what I have to say to that.
We’ve talked about Governor DeSantis and the — again, what — the mockery that he’s making of a process that the President is trying to fix. He’s trying to deal with this issue. He has made — when you think about immigration reform — a priority by putting — putting forward a piece of legislation on the first day of his administration.
