Jean-Pierre Tells Reporter Illegal Aliens “Strengthen” the Country

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre confirmed that the White House believes illegal aliens are a critical part of the American economy.

The Associated Press’ Josh Boad asked “We discussed earlier former President Trump is describing the situation on the border as a bloodbath, but on Friday, we're going to get jobs figures and past jobs reports have shown that immigrants are helping the U.S. economy. Is the view of this administration that the inflow of immigrants do more to strengthen the United States or hurt the United States? Does it do more?”

Boad is using the word “immigrant” as a synonym for “illegal immigrant” in a futile attempt to muddy the waters, but it is only *illegal* immigrants that Trump was talking about in the comments quoted. 

Jean-Pierre replied; “So, Josh, I appreciate that question, and I think it's an important question as we're hearing clearly awful rhetoric from the other side, so but what we know what this president believes and you've heard the President say this before is that we know immigrants strengthen our country and our economy as well. It goes hand-in-hand here.”
