"While Republicans try to push forth a CR to limit – to take away – the federal agents that we see at the border... they're trying to politicize it and make it worse," Jean-Pierre continued, referencing recent efforts to avert a government shutdown."That's what Republicans are trying to do and turn it into a political stunt. The president is actually dealing with the issue that's in front of him by getting record funding, 25,000 federal agents at the border.
"There's enforcement. And so we've deployed additional troops and federal agents to the border and removed or returned more than 250,000 individuals since May 12 alone," she said. President Biden is doing"everything that he can" to tackle the situation at the U.S.-Mexico border, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre says.
