Fox News White House Correspondent Peter Doocy asked White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre straight up how long Vice President Kamala Harris has thought President Joe Biden has done a bad job with the border issue.<\/p>\n
Doocy asked Jean-Pierre about Harris\u2019 campaign promise to add more border guards to stop people from coming into the U.S. illegally. President Joe Biden put the vice president in charge of addressing the \u201croot causes\u201d of migration in Mexico and the Northern Triangle countries in March 2021. During her time in the administration and as a U.S. senator, she changed her mind several times about how she felt about illegal immigration.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow long have you guys known that Vice President Kamala Harris does not think President Biden is doing a good job at the border?\u201d Doocy asked, followed by Jean-Pierre asking him to repeat the question. \u201cWell, she\u2019s now promising to hire thousands more border agents than there are now under President Biden.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jean-Pierre went on to accuse Doocy of interpreting Harris\u2019 beliefs and accused congressional Republicans and Republican nominee Donald Trump of \u201cgetting in the way\u201d of adding more agents to the U.S.-Mexico border.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe president does want more Border Patrol agents,\u201d Jean-Pierre said. \u201cYou know who\u2019s getting in the way? Republicans in Congress. They\u2019re getting in the way. You know who else is getting in the way? The former president, Donald Trump. He\u2019s getting in the way. I mean, there\u2019s no daylight here. I\u2019m not getting the question because there\u2019s no daylight. The president believes that as well and he\u2019s worked toward doing that.\u201d<\/p>\n
