Don’t believe your eyes: WH claims migrants are not just ‘walking’ across border

​White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre insisted on Monday that migrants are not just “walking” across the border — an event captured near daily by press photographers.

The stunning answer came in response to a question by Fox News’ Peter Doocy, who asked why potentially unvaccinated migrants continue to arrive in the US but tennis star Novak Djokovic couldn’t compete in the US Open, which kicked off in Flushing Meadows, Queens today.  

“It is not that simple. It’s not just that people are walking across the border. We have a plan in place. This is not like switching the lights on. ​T​his is going to take a process,” Jean-Pierre said about the thousands of migrants that are crossing into the US every week as she pivoted to criticize the former administration’s immigration policies. ​

“We are fixing a broken system that was actually left by the last administration. And as it relates to the tennis star, that is totally different. That is a different process​,” she insisted, noting that Djokovic’s beef is with the US Open but he still has to abide by federal regulations.
