White House: You Can’t Compare Border to Afghanistan Withdrawal — ‘Not Chaos’ at Border, ‘at Least Not Right Now’

Ian Hanchett 12 May 2023

On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Lead,” White House National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby criticized comparisons between the situation on the border and the withdrawal from Afghanistan and stated that “it’s not chaos down there at the border, at least not right now.”

Kirby reacted to a clip of Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX) stating that the situation on the border is as chaotic as the withdrawal from Afghanistan by stating, “I think it’s just incorrigible to compare what we’re trying to do with safe and effective pathways coming in through the border to what happened with Afghanistan. It is not at all the same situation. And the footage that you just showed demonstrates that it’s not chaos down there at the border, at least not right now. We’re doing everything we can to strike a right balance here between providing legal pathways into the country but enforcement of our border laws, of our need to have a safe and secure border there, Jake. And if the Congressman really cared that much about helping with the southern border situation, then he would enjoin his colleagues in the Congress to pass legislation, to pass immigration reform to dust off and take a look at the immigration reform that the president put on Capitol Hill the day he took office, which has not yet been acted on.”

White House: We Were Prepared for Title 42 Ending, House GOP Wasn’t

On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Lead,” White House National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby said that while Republicans in Congress did pass a bill on the border, “they waited until yesterday to put something forward,” and passing the bill “the night of the expiration of Title 42 just tells you all you need to know about who was actually ready for this change and who wasn’t.”

After Kirby stated that Republicans in Congress should pass immigration reform, host Jake Tapper said, “Well, but they did pass a border security bill yesterday. I understand that Democrats in the Senate aren’t going to take it up. But they did pass a bill to try to solidify the border.”

Kirby responded, “Yeah, they waited until yesterday to put something forward, and it’s obviously not going to go anywhere, because it’s — it doesn’t provide for the same sorts of safe, legal pathways that the president’s trying to provide for with the tools, the limited tools he has available to him. And doing it the night of the expiration of Title 42 just tells you all you need to know about who was actually ready for this change and who wasn’t.”
