White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre insisted Wednesday that President Biden has been to the border, despite him having not visited since becoming president.
. That’s what they want to do. That’s how they want to take care of the situation," Jean-Pierre said.
President Biden has not visited the southern border nearly two years into his presidency as the country wrestles with an unprecedented border crisis. Nor did he visit the border while as vice president.Doocy pressed then-White House press secretary Jen Psaki on the same issue last year. "Why did President Biden say he has been to the border?," Doocy asked Psaki, referencing remarks made by Biden during a town hall with CNN.
Psaki referenced Biden’s drive past the border in the El Paso, Texas, area more than a decade prior, when he was on the campaign trail as Barack Obama’s running mate. "But, the most important thing everyone should know and understand is that the president has worked on these issues throughout his entire career and is well-versed in every aspect of our immigration system, including the border — that includes when he was vice president," Psaki told reporters.
