White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre suggested Thursday on "The View" that the Biden administration is attempting to "fix" an immigration system that former President Trump decimated
Republicans helped create chaos on the border.
Jean-Pierre told the hosts of "The View" the numbers of people fleeing from countries like Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela to enter America has recently spiked saying, "We have seen 121% increase since last year. So, we’re talking about places that have a communist regime, and they are trying to leave that communist regime and you’re seeing this issue across the western hemisphere … So we have a new type of migration that’s happening."
She claimed that the Biden administration has been responsibly handling the situation by working closely with countries in the troubled region, but Republican governors have been problematic.
"All of our regional partners are dealing with that. We’re talking with them, and we’re in constant communication," she said. "This is why the stunt that Republican governors are doing is so shameful."
Republican governors like Florida's Ron DeSantis have been sending migrants to areas popular with liberal politicians in an attempt to put the chaos at the border back in the political spotlight.
Jean-Pierre suggested that the move was "so inhumane" because the Trump administration caused the problems in the first place.
