White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre faced tough questions during the daily White House press briefing regarding President Joe Biden's response to the U.S.-Mexico border crisis. Jean-Pierre defended Biden, stating that the immigration issue should not solely fall on the president's shoulders and that legislative action is needed. However, a statement from the White House revealed that Biden's attempt to resolve the crisis was blocked by congressional Republicans.

Despite the setback, Biden remains committed to addressing the broken immigration system and securing the border.
