How is that helping anybody stop the spread?\u201d he questioned.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have a protocol and process in place as it relates to COVID in terms of testing and quarantining, and also vaccines are provided for a range of migrants by our partner organizations in the region,\u201d Psaki evaded.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut why should somebody, say, in Laredo, Texas, or El Paso, or Tucson, Arizona, have to have their chance of catching COVID go up because, hundreds of miles away, there is an open border?\u201d Doocy pressed.<\/p>\n<p>An offended Psaki shot back, \u201cWell, there certainly is not an open border.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are continuing to employ our immigration proceedings and process and restrictions at the border, and that includes the implementation of enforcing Title 42, which is an authority \u2014 a public health authority,\u201d she said. \u201cIt includes moving people into either a process for expedited removal or removal proceedings.&nbsp; That is our immigration process that we are proceeding underneath.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou say the border is not open, but we\u2019re told by our teams on the ground you guys are releasing pretty much all family units, couples where the woman says that she is pregnant, or single women who say that they are pregnant and that nobody actually has to take a pregnancy test unless they want to.&nbsp; So, how \u2014,\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAre you suggesting you don\u2019t believe when women say they\u2019re pregnant?&nbsp; Is that a big issue, we think, at the border?\u201d Psaki interrupted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am not in charge of keeping the border secure,\u201d Doocy shot back. \u201cYou guys are.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Psaki mocked, \u201cDo you think pregnant women are posing a big threat to the border?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou tell me,\u201d Doocy told her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2026 To the border communities?&nbsp; Is that a big issue?\u201d Psaki said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou tell me,\u201d Doocy said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not aware of pregnant women being a big issue of concern to people at the border,\u201d Psaki said, evading Doocy\u2019s original point about the border being open.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe issue is not about pregnant women,\u201d Doocy reiterated. \u201cThe issue is: Is the border open or is the border closed?&nbsp; Because my understanding is that a lot of this is happening on this side of the border.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think you know the answer to that question,\u201d Psaki answered. \u201cAnd I just conveyed clearly that we\u2019re implementing our border restrictions, including Title 42, including making clear that people who are coming through irregular migration \u2014 that this is not the time to come and they will be placed in removal proceedings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
