Reporter To KJP: Explain Why Mayorkas Says Border Is Secure But Biden Says It Isn’t
Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity.news,
During the White House press briefing Monday, a reporter asked Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre to explain why Joe Biden and DHS head Alejandro Mayorkas give conflicting answers when asked if the border is secure or not.
As we highlighted, last Friday Biden admitted that the border is not secure and stated that has has not believed it has been secure for a decade, despite the fact that Mayorkas has stated and testified multiple times that he believes the border is secure.
Joe Biden admitted to a reporter that the southern border is not secure, and that he hasn't believed that for a decade. Seem to remember his press secretary and DHS Secretary repeatedly saying it was secure. Full report here: https://t.co/OVZrq2Uz7M pic.twitter.com/eZK1uOE0fK

“On Friday, President Biden said that he does not believe the border is secure, which is different from what Secretary Mayorkas has testified multiple times on the hill, why do they have two different views of the security of the border?” the reporter asked during Monday’s briefing.
Jean-Pierre used the tired excuse that Biden is waiting on Congress to provide more funding for border security.
“The president’s been clear, he’s been clear that we need to move on the border, he needs resources to deal with the situation at the border. That’s why they’re having this conversation at the Senate, on the senate level and that’s why he’s asking for more resources,” Jean-Pierre said, adding “There’s an issue at the border, we need to deal with it and we have to act now. There’s an urgent need to act now.”
Reporter: Why did Biden admit the border is not secure when Mayorkas has been saying it is for three years?

The claim that Biden is waiting for funding for more security is laughable considering that he is ordering Border Patrol to actively take down barriers erected by Texas state authorities and the National Guard:
Elsewhere during the briefing Monday, Fox News reporter Peter Doocy pointed out that “authorities in Fairfax County, Virginia, ignored an ICE detainer. They released an illegal immigrant from Honduras, who was charged with sexually assaulting a Virginia minor and production of sexual abuse material.”
He then asked Jean-Pierre “Doesn’t that go to show that, as record numbers of people appear at the border, you guys have no idea what kind of people are coming into this country?”
Jean-Pierre, of course, denied the charge and again blamed Congress.
Reporter: An illegal from Honduras was detained by ICE but later released, despite being charged with sexually assaulting a Virginia minor and production of sexual abuse material.

She also claimed that Biden has recently visited the border, when in reality he hasn’t been there for over a year, and even that only visit was little more than a pit stop.
Reporter: Will Biden visit the border soon?

KJP: He visited recently.
Reality - He hasn't been for over a year, & even then he was just driving past en route to somewhere else. https://t.co/J7HEPPgOq0 Full report here: https://t.co/rA67g7mtTv pic.twitter.com/bWxhkkY5Kn
