Karine Jean-Pierre claimed illegal immigration is down 90% thanks to all of Biden’s hard work.
No really.
We only wish we were kidding … but we’re not.
Talk about a giant, blatant, embarrassing lie that absolutely nobody with half a brain in their head would ever believe. Bill Melugin dropped by with a simple, accurate, yet brutal fact-check:
False.
There was a window of time earlier this year where encounters with Venezuelans, Nicaraguans, and Cubans did temporarily dip 90% after a policy change, but other countries, like China, shot up over 800%. Illegal crossings, including Venezuelans, back at peak highs now. https://t.co/Vunv5dnLqx

Gosh darn it, facts are so inconvenient … when you’re a liar.
He continued:
It is remarkable that the White House would attempt to make this false claim on the same day the US Border Patrol Chief reported over 22,000 apprehensions at the border in 72 hours, not counting gotaways. https://t.co/ZSe73uDGQH

Yay!
