Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy pressed John Kirby, the National Security Council’s strategic communications director, on the Biden administration’s lawsuit against Texas regarding the removal of razor wire along the border.
Doocy questioned why the administration was making it easier for people to enter the country illegally.
Kirby argued that the razor wire hindered Border Patrol access, while Doocy and Rep. Lance Gooden (R-TX) expressed concerns that the administration’s actions are undermining efforts to secure the border.

Doocy asked, “Why are you guys making it easier for people to enter the country illegally?”
Kirby replied, “I don’t believe we are. Why do you think we are?”
“Well, you guys sued to cut razor wire that was put in place by Texas officials,” Doocy fired back.
Doocy continued, “Well, you won in court. So, now what? The Border Patrol union president is saying the Supreme Court’s decision is going to undoubtedly encourage more illegal immigration. Do you guys know better than the Border Patrol union?”
“The Border Patrol needed access, and that’s why we sued to get rid of that razor wire, so that they could do their jobs,” repeated Kirby.
“Does razor wire work?” asked Doocy.
“Does razor wire work for what?” Kirby asked.
“Does it work for the Border Patrol to allow them to have the access they need to be able to — to better process people that are trying to get across the border? I don’t think so, and that’s why we asked for it to be removed,” Kirby continued.
Doocy pressed, “But what is the president’s plan? This is happening just weeks after 300,000 people came to this country, over the southern border illegally. The razor wire — officials down there think was keeping some of them out. And you guys just sued and won to remove it.”
Rep. Lance Gooden commented, “Texas used razor wire to secure the border. The Biden Admin then sent a cease & desist order. Arizona used shipping containers to secure the border. The Biden Admin then sued Arizona. Joe Biden is actively fighting against efforts to secure the border.”
