White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki insisted as recently as Thursday that “there is certainly not an open border.” She also reacted to the “horrible and horrific” footage of Border Patrol agents doing their jobs keeping Haitian migrants on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande. That footage of border agents cracking their “whips” at migrants has finally drawn the media’s attention to the “challenge” at the southern border, where 12,000 migrants had been living in an underpass in squalid conditions.
Psaki must “officially” not believe there is an open border and there’s no illegal immigration crisis, but she certainly seems to have lost her patience with Republicans who have made speeches about the border crisis without offering solutions. But solutions to what? If there’s no crisis, what’s there to solve?
The Recount originally posted this video with the tweet, “WH Press Sec. Jen Psaki calls out Republicans over immigration reform.” So the Biden administration has no plan and is waiting on Republicans to come up with one?

“All they had to do was NOTHING.” — Trump

Psaki basically admitted that the current administration has NO CLUE what to do about the crisis they created, and they’re waiting for Republicans to offer solutions they can use. Let’s not forget that “all Biden had to do was go to the beach.” Solutions were already in place!

Hmmm…seems to me that @POTUS and @VP worked hard to dismantle a Republican solution that was working and are now complaining that Republicans won't offer solutions….

As Fox News’ Peter Doocy replied when challenged, “I am not in charge of keeping the border secure. You guys are.”
You aren’t paying attention. Conservatives were engaged in a strategy on the border that was working. @POTUS @JoeBiden & his administration moved in, porked it all up, and now are trying to play the blame game. BTW, what’s the Border Czar, @VP @kamalaharris actually doing?

Closing it would be the best option. Have y’all not thought of that??🤯

How about you send enough resources down there to stop people from just coming in unchecked Jen? You guys didn’t have any problem using the national guard to secure Washington from far less people for a month or so.

The situation was basically under control in the previous administration & the numbers of crossing diminishing as the physical barriers & strong policies were being implemented, it only took Biden a few days to remove all the progress & open the gates to create this human crisis!

This seems like a total bait, a nice "gotem!" soundbite for them to play over and over on @CNN. If those same governors brought forward solutions, would the administration even listen? Governmental change is about compromise, and this is just more divisiveness.

Trump. Past four years. Something about a wall, a "Stay in Mexico" policy, something something…..
Maybe look into it, sounds promising.

Uh, I think I heard a few say close the border. If that isn’t a solution, I don’t know what is.

Let me help you Ms Psaki. Solution = W-A-L-L. You’re welcome.

Build. The. Wall.

Close the border, @PressSec. It’s the job of your administration to find a solution to the border invasion.

I recommend watching Psaki clips without sound before hearing it. Telling
— Pookyhead (@Pookyhead2) September 24, 2021
Yeah, you can see her losing it in this clip even without the sound.
Solution: Reimplement the policy of the previous administration.
— Sergeant Hulka (@Hulka_Sgt) September 24, 2021
The solution is simple: reinstate Trumps Remain in Mexico policy & the crisis goes away overnight.

Something happened around Jan 2021 that caused the problem to spike. We should figure out what that was and reverse it.

Providing border solutions. Isn't that Biden's job?
— DonnaH (@DonnaLHull) September 25, 2021
Or Vice President Harris’ job.
