White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre chided reporters Tuesday that spreading “misinformation” about the border could help smugglers who transport immigrants into the US.

He was asked to comment on an increase in border crossings, with 6,000-7,000 people crossing the southern border each day amid uncertainty about the future of Title 42 border policies.

He called on Republicans to “think about the bootleggers actually putting a plan in place for us to deal with the bootleggers.”

Anyone who suggests otherwise is simply doing the job of these smugglers who are once again spreading misinformation, and they are, which is very dangerous.”
