Karine Jean-Pierre roasted for claiming illegal immigration is down 90%: 'These people think we're stupid'

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was eviscerated by Twitter users after declaring that illegal immigration was down by 90% since implementing President Biden's immigration policies.
During Monday's press conference, a reporter questioned Jean-Pierre on how Biden plans to deal with illegal immigration. The press secretary insisted that Biden has already put forth efforts to address the "broken" immigration system "on his first day in this administration" and touted his alleged successes.
"In the meantime, he has tools that he's used to make sure we do this. We actually deal with the immigration system in a humane way, in a way that actually deals with what we're seeing at the border. And that's why you've seen the parolee program be so successful. When it comes to illegal immigration, you've seen it come down by more than 90%. And that's because of this, the actions that this president has taken," Jean-Pierre said.

She added, "But we know that more action needs to be taken. So it has to be legislative action. We're going to continue to call Congress to do that. And so, this is important to this president. On day one, on day one, he put forth a legislation to move forward on this."
Social media users attacked the claim that illegal immigration was down by over 90% as illegal border crossings reached record levels several times during the Biden administration.
Washington Free Beacon investigative reporter Chuck Ross declared, "Maybe the biggest lie from the White House podium so far this year."
"How does she still have this job?" HotAir contributing editor Karen Townsend asked.
"These people think we're stupid," Financial Guys Podcast host Mike Sperazza remarked.

Former Trump senior advisor Stephen Miller wrote, "We are suffering through the largest tidal wave of illegal immigration in human history and it's not even close."
Townhall.com columnist Derek Hunter joked, "She's so dumb she may believe this. Then again, she is Ron Burgundy and that binder is her teleprompter, so..."
"This is a blatant lie from the Biden administration. This is the worst border crisis on record. They created the crisis, and now they are denying it exists," RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel tweeted.
In a follow-up question, the reporter also asked whether the White House blames Republicans for a lack of action on the border. Jean-Pierre criticized the GOP for not putting forth legislation to help with the border and pulling "political stunts."

"Well, as we've seen, Republicans have continued to use this as a political stunt or a political tool and not actually come to the table to have a conversation on how to protect DREAMers and farm workers. You know, more immigration judges and asylum office officers are needed, more funding for border security are needed. This is something that we have put forward in that legislation and so much more. And they don't want to do that. They want to do political stunts, as we've seen from governors and mayors across the country," Jean-Pierre said.

They lie blatenly and it goes unchallenged.
Remember when those same leftist reporters wanted to debate an effective President?
I've heard some stupid s*@t lies come out of that woman's mouth in the past courtesy of the Biden lunatic asylum, but this one tops just about all! Talk about living in a alternate reality dream world.
Had any Republican President's WH Press Secretary ever told such an easily proven LIE, the mainstream media would have been bitching about it for MONTHS at least.
Said Republican president WH press secretaries had one thing going for them that Red Jen and her replacement lack. It's called CREDIBILITY!
More lies and propaganda from the Biden Administration. Joseph Goebbels would be proud.
She is another ignoramus chosen from Biden's most loyal voting bloc. How about our activist media that allows her to say such things?
She's a "check the block" hire. It's saddening that the left are actually dumb enough to believe the propaganda she stutters through on a daily basis.
They have replaced merit with equity.
What is left of this nation will have to adapt.
and we've seen what an utter failure that has been.
They are all on the same team.
I don't suppose the NYT or WashPO is doing fact checks for the Biden Admin. any longer.
Where is the outrage from the left over WH LIES???????????
Fact is Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have helped create and foster a border crisis never before seen, and yet the media largely lets them spread outright LIES about their 'accomplishments' and lets the Admin. off the hook for any responsibility for virtually anything happening on their watch.
Where is the outrage from the left over WH LIES???????????
They voted for Joe Biden, being lied to is part of the program.
They only pretended to care about lies when it was a means to hurt Trump.
If illegal immigration is down 90% then maybe she can explain -
Biden sending 1,500 active-duty troops to border ahead of Title 42 ending
Just subterfuge for what is really going on with this fucked-up Admin.
Take a look at this!

Notice not one lefty liberal has commented so far to defend her or the administration on this one? That speaks volumes there.
That is because there is no defense for this. Not even the stupid and inane defenses they put up for Biden and his administration.
That is because that actually believe that is true. Even with absolute proof they will deny it
As I have said before on another post "There are none so blind as those who will not see."
Because cliches are [deleted?]
We all can't cut and paste the same memes over and over, can we?
Is that the same thing like just posting images, quips and memes instead of actual comments do like some people that are responding in this thread.
Ya beat me to it.
Some things, apparently, are too blatant for the staunchest anti-American Bidenistas to believe!
Although I am positive we will have at least a couple of suckers falling for what the Biden Admin. is trying to sell here.
Well, someone did post an OLD article about immigration in order to deflect from the truth here.
And one with a misleading title at that.
