FOX News White House reporter Jacqui Heinrich asked press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre about Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis flying 50 illegal immigrants to Martha’s Vineyard and the massive surge in illegal immigration this year during Friday’s White House briefing.
JACQUI HEINRICH, FOX NEWS: Yesterday, you repeatedly blamed the Trump administration for what we’re seeing at the Southern border, but the record crossings have been happening under President Biden. One migrant we interviewed yesterday thanked the president for keeping the border open. So I want to confirm that the way that this administration sees it is that ending [the Remain-in-Mexico policy] and [pandemic health measure] Title 42 had nothing to do with the surge we’re seeing.
