Karine Jean-Pierre Claims Illegal Immigrants Are Not ‘Walking Across The Border’

On Monday, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre claimed that migrants are not illegally immigrating into the country by “walking across the border.”

“Somebody unvaccinated comes over on a plane. You say that’s not OK. Somebody walks into Texas or Arizona unvaccinated, they’re allowed to stay? Why?” Doocy asked at the White House press briefing.

“But that’s not how it works,” Jean-Pierre said.

“That’s what’s happening,” Doocy pointed out. “I know that’s not what you guys want to happen. But that is what is happening.”

“But that’s not — it’s not like somebody walks over,” Jean-Pierre responded.

“That’s exactly what’s happening,” Doocy said.

“It is not that simple. It’s not just that people are walking across the border,” Jean-Pierre claimed. “We have a plan in place.”

Unfortunately, the Biden administration’s plan does not seem to be effective against illegal immigration. As of July, illegal immigration in fiscal year 2022 had already outpaced the previous which was already a record high itself.

Additionally, as seen in videos posted by Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin, migrants are illegally immigrating into the United States by “walking across the border.”

“Good morning from Eagle Pass, TX, where, like clockwork, we had another large single group of approximately 150 migrants cross illegally at this location. Almost all of them were single adults,” Melugin wrote in a Twitter post earlier this month.

“Part of a huge group of approx 200 that crossed illegally into private property in Eagle Pass, TX this afternoon. Some holding infants & babies,” Melugin said in a different Twitter post this month.
