When Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy questioned White House spokesperson John Kirby on Tuesday about the border crisis, Kirby seemed taken aback.
Razor wire installed by Texas on the southern border to deter illegal immigration may be cut through by Border Patrol agents, the Supreme Court decided in a 5-4 ruling on Monday. Although they acknowledged that the barrier was effective, the Biden administration applauded the decision.
Doocy wasted no time in trying to figure out why the Biden administration is openly celebrating the decision during Tuesday’s press briefing.
“Why are you guys facilitating illegal immigration into the country?” Doocy inquired.
Doocy asked Kirby another simple question later in the briefing: “Does razor wire work?” However, Kirby declined to respond, blaming Republicans instead for the Biden administration’s continued incapacity to contain the migrant crisis.
