One of Joe Biden’s presidency’s most pressing challenges is the border situation, according to UnitedVoice.com. Since he took office in January 2021, millions of immigrants have surged over the southern border. Conservatives are criticizing the White House press secretary for a recent error in judgment.
DOOCY: “Kevin McCarthy says that he invited president Biden down to the border. How does the president RSVP? We know the president has never been down to the border…”

On November 30, Fox News reporter Peter Doocy questioned Karine Jean-Pierre about whether the president would agree to accompany House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) on a trip to the southern border. Biden has never traveled as president, the writer noted.“He’s been there. He’s been to the border. And since he took office,” Doocy interrupted her and questioned when the president traveled to the frontier, but she chose to ignore him.

Biden hasn’t really traveled to the border while he’s been in office. In fact, according to Snopes, he hasn’t visited the southern border in 14 years, despite the fact that he traveled often when serving as vice president to address growing migration from Central America. He last visited when he and Barack Obama were campaigning in 2008. The press secretary’s comments were swiftly called out by conservatives as being untrue.
