See: Twitter Erupts After White House Press Secretary's "Blatant Lie" About Illegal Immigration

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre faced backlash on social media after claiming that illegal immigration had decreased by over 90% since President Biden's immigration policies were implemented.

During a press conference, Jean-Pierre defended the President's efforts to address the "broken" immigration system, stating that his administration had taken actions to deal with the issue humanely. She also highlighted the success of the parolee program and claimed that illegal immigration had decreased by over 90% due to the President's actions.

However, social media users quickly criticized the claim, pointing out that illegal border crossings had reached record levels during the Biden administration.

Investigative reporter, Chuck Ross from the Washington Free Beacon, called it "Maybe the biggest lie from the White House podium so far this year." HotAir contributing editor Karen Townsend questioned how Jean-Pierre still had her job, while Financial Guys Podcast host Mike Sperazza accused the administration of thinking the public was "stupid."

Former Trump senior advisor Stephen Miller stated that the U.S. was experiencing the most significant tidal wave of illegal immigration in human history.

Jean-Pierre also criticized Republicans for a lack of action on the border. When asked whether the White House held Republicans responsible, she criticized the GOP for not putting forth legislation to help with the border and accused them of pulling "political stunts."

She argued that more immigration judges, asylum office officers, and border security funding were needed. She claimed that the administration had put forward legislation to address these issues.

"Well, as we've seen, Republicans have continued to use this as a political stunt or a political tool and not actually come to the table to have a conversation on how to protect DREAMers and farm workers. You know, more immigration judges and asylum office officers are needed, more funding for border security are needed.

This is something that we have put forward in that legislation and so much more. And they don't want to do that. They want to do political stunts, as we've seen from governors and mayors across the country," Jean-Pierre said.
