KJP on the Illegal Aliens Released on Their Own Recognizance After Rioting at the Border: I Have to Refer You to DoJ and DHS

EXCERPT:

JEAN-PIERRE: "So, I have to refer you to Department of Justice and DHS on that particular reporting. I will say this. As the event unfolded, the Border Patrol was able to act quickly and get the situation under control and apprehend the migrants, and we were grateful that the Border Patrol was able to do their job. Look, there is a challenge at the border, right? Our immigration system has been broken for decades, before — even before this president became president, obviously, three or more than three years ago. And this president couple months ago worked with the Senate in a bipartisan fashion to get a negotiation done, right? And what we saw from the last president, President Trump told Republicans in Congress not to move forward with this negotiation, this agreed negotiation, this agreed plan, this agreed proposal, because it would help Joe Biden. That’s what was reported by some of you. And we can actually deal with this. We can actually deal with what we’re seeing. And because they didn’t move forward, right, because they didn't move forward with this proposal because of the last president and because they — they put politics in ahead of the American people, we are seeing chaos. And so we want to get this done. We did. We worked with Congress to get this done, to deal with the challenges at the border. President Trump got in the way, and because President Trump got in the way, Republicans are now getting in the way."
