The Biden administration screwed up and they knew it months ago. They delayed the release of the illegal border crossing reports that showed a massive influx in 2021—More than the last three years combined. Now that Americans know the full-scale of their dirty little secret, White House Press Sec Jen Psaki is in full damage control mode.
Fox News’s Peter Doocy ripped into the Biden administration for allowing illegals apprehended at the border to be released inside the United States. Psaki could have used the opportunity to explain what the heck the administration is doing but chose to hide behind policies.
“Why is it that large numbers of single adult men are being released into the United States just hours after being apprehended at the southern border?” Doocy asked.
“I’m not sure the specifics of what you’re referring to, Peter. What I can tell you in terms of what our policy is and how we’re approaching the border is that we continue to be under Title 42,” Psaki responded. “Migrants who cannot be expelled under Title 42 are placed into immigration proceedings, and one of those avenues could be placement in an alternative-to-detention program in the interior of the United States.”

“Well, again, we have stringent protocols and processes that we implement here. That includes expelling individuals who come in under Title 42 given we are still in a global pandemic, and it includes that those who do not show up will be subject to the repercussions of that,” she finished.
Watch
Doocy’s questions defiantly caused the Press Sec to cower behind policy but it didn’t help anyone understand just what the heck the White House plans to do about the massive security breach they have caused.
The one silver lining here is that now that the numbers are out, we should be able to count on lawmakers to get the answers we all need and force some action out of this do-nothing adminstration.
I hope…
