Reporters Question White House on Immigration | Ep. 126

In this episode of The Bald Brad Show, White House reporters question White House on immigration. New York Times reporter Michael Shear cornered White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and National Security Council spokesman John Kirby — during a Friday briefing — about the administration’s handling of the ongoing crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border. Shear pointed out the fact that humanitarian groups have sounded more alarms about the Biden administration’s treatment of migrants than they did when former President Donald Trump was in the White House. Furthermore, Fox News reporter Jacquie Heinrich question John Kirby on the new parole program that you guys announced yesterday, is there any risk that because now those who don’t qualify for the program, they won’t have any incentive to turn themselves in, as a lot of people have been doing when they illegally cross the border, and that that could increase the number of got-aways? Jacquie goes on to make the point that the pilot program with Venezuela was happening and did reduce the number of crossings by 90 percent over those first few weeks that it was in place, the number of got-aways did skyrocket too at the same time. And so my question is: Does the fact that if you cross illegally, it makes you ineligible for this program — does that now disincentivize people to turn themselves in and then make part of this problem harder?
