White House Won’t Say Whether Biden Will Go to Border Amid Illegal Immigration Surge

The White House declined on Nov. 30 to say whether President Joe Biden would visit the border amid the surge in illegal immigration.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked about House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) inviting Biden to go to the U.S.–Mexico border but wouldn’t say whether Biden accepted the invitation.
“Look, he’s been there. He’s been to the border,” Jean-Pierre said.
Critics panned the statement as false, with Biden having never taken a trip to the border.
“President Biden has not been to the border,” Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas) wrote on Twitter.
Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) said, “Categorically false. He has never stopped at the southern border in his entire career.”…}
