Karine Jean Pierre, the Biden White House’s least impressive propagandist, attempted to blame the Trump administration for Biden’s border crisis. During a press conference on Friday, Jean Pierre insisted that Biden inherited “a mess” from the previous administration.
Jean Pierre was asked, “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?
She responded, “So, first of all, it is a top priority. I mean, the President put forth a comprehensive immigration reform on day one,” she claimed. “So, him doing that that first day of office, the first day that he walked into the administration and sat behind the Resolute Desk clearly states that this is a priority for him and will continue to be so.

“… And 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 [sic] a — we inherited a mess. And, you know, Republicans in Congress made it worse by blocking comprehensive immigration reform,” she claimed.
Jean Pierre then said that the president is “acting — he’s acting to protect — to continue to protect the border, secure the border, and also deal with irregular migration. That is what he’s going to continue to do that.

“So the enforcement measures we announced yesterday will result in more, not fewer, legal pathways for migration, while easing the pressures on our broken immigration system, which has been broken for decades. And so the NGOs and the border communities that support those arriving at our southwest border.
