White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre suggested on Monday that illegal immigrants are not simply walking across the southern border of the United States. Border patrol agents said she could not be more wrong.

During Monday’s news briefing, Jean-Pierre was asked why illegal immigrants can enter the country in contradiction to the Biden administration’s vaccine rules.

“Somebody unvaccinated comes over on a plane, you say that’s not okay,” Fox News White House Correspondent Peter Doocy said. “Somebody walks into Texas or Arizona unvaccinated, they’re allowed to stay? Why?”

“But that’s not how it works,” Jean-Pierre responded.

After Doocy said that was exactly what is happening at the southern border, Jean-Pierre doubled down on her denial.

But that’s not…it’s not like somebody ‘walks over,’” she said.

Footage captured by Fox News clearly depicted people walking across the border illegally, and the outlet spoke to multiple Border Patrol agents who slammed Jean-Pierre’s claims.

“There’s only two reasons she said that, and that is either she is extremely dumb or she is flat-out lying and hopes America is so stupid we would believe her,” one agent said.
