Karine Jean-Pierre deems sending illegal immigrants to ‘sanctuary cities’ as ‘shameful
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre Slams Governors for Transporting Illegal Immigrants to Sanctuary Cities
In a fiery appearance on CNN, Karine Jean-Pierre, the White House Press Secretary, expressed her outrage at the practice of transporting illegal immigrants to cities and states that have declared themselves as “sanctuary” jurisdictions. She called it ”shameful” and urged governors to address the issue with their state senators.

Critics were quick to point out that if the federal government had been effectively enforcing immigration laws, there would be fewer illegal immigrants in the country. They argued that by declaring themselves as sanctuaries, these cities and states had invited the very situation they now find themselves in.
“No one likes to face the negative consequences of their choices,” tweeted Greg (@harmfulopinion).

Rita Panahi agreed, stating that it was “shameful to have Democrat voters face the consequences of the policies they supported.”

Tom Moore called out the hypocrisy of sanctuary city mayors, who welcomed federal funds and virtue signaling but refused to take responsibility for caring for illegal aliens.
Hypocrisy alert ‼️
Sanctuary city mayors welcomed the Fed Funds
with open arms and the
virtue signaling, but not the responsibility that actually comes with caring for illegal aliens.

Robert Patrick Lewis emphasized that declaring oneself as a sanctuary city comes with consequences, stating, “I mean they asked for it.”
I mean they asked for it.
That’s not even being slightly caustic, it’s precisely what announcing yourself as a sanctuary city is. https://t.co/P6Z3q0iWsG

Another Twitter user replied, highlighting the constitutional and legal violations of sanctuary cities and arguing that they were the logical destination for illegal immigrants as long as the border remained open.
During the same interview, Jean-Pierre claimed that President Joe Biden had accomplished more in three years than any other president had in two terms.

Do sanctuary city mayors claim moral high ground while refusing to take responsibility for the care of illegal aliens invited with prior policies
Ng=”en” dir=”ltr”>Sanctuary City Mayors:
– Welcome Federal Funds
– Virtue Signal
– Claim Moral High Ground
– REFUSE to take responsibility for the care of illegal aliens they invited with the prior policies 👏

Jean-Pierre’s comments come amidst a surge in illegal border crossings and subsequent overcrowding in detention centers near the southern border. The Biden administration has been criticized for its handling of the crisis, with opponents arguing that its immigration policies have incentivized more illegal immigration, leading to the overwhelmed facilities and the need to transport migrants to other locations.
However, supporters of sanctuary cities argue that they provide safety and protection for undocumented immigrants and promote inclusivity and diversity within their communities. They argue that these cities are upholding the values of compassion and welcoming immigrants, in contrast to what they perceive as a harsh and inhumane approach by the federal government.
This debate over sanctuary cities and the transportation of illegal immigrants to these jurisdictions is unlikely to be resolved anytime soon. It serves as a reminder of the deep divisions and ongoing disagreements surrounding immigration policy in the United States.
