White House Slammed for Claiming 'Parolee' Program Cut Illegal Immigration by 90% Despite Surge

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre claimed Biden policies decreased illegal immigration over 90%, though border crossings are at record highs.
Jean-Pierre praised a program admitting 30,000 migrants a month and said it contributed to an 84% drop in border encounters, though numbers rose again in March.
Critics called out Jean-Pierre for the misleading 90% figure and noted 73,000 migrants crossed in 10 days.
The Biden administration faces pressure over border security and immigration policy after Texas murders.
Tens of thousands of migrants wait in Mexico for Title 42 to end May 11 so they can enter the US.
