Doocy&#8217;s inquiries\u200b came after the Supreme Court authorized Biden&#8217;s Border\u200b Patrol to \u2062remove razor wire\u2062 placed along\u200c the border by Texas officials in an effort\u2062 to slow down illegal \u200dimmigration.<\/p>\n<p>Doocy directly \u200dasked Kirby, &#8220;Why\u200c are you guys making it easier for people to enter the country illegally?&#8221; Kirby, on the defensive, responded, \u200b&#8221;I don&#8217;t believe we are. Why do you think we are?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Doocy then pointed out\u2063 that the administration sued to remove the\u2062 razor wire\u200d installed by Texas officials.
