“I’m going to have to look in my history books and check the times he’s been to the southern border,” Psaki said.

“We searched all morning,” Doocy said, “and found no record of his visit to the border as president, vice-president, senator or even as a concerned citizen.”

Doocy later continued: “He is a president who makes it his duty, when there are disasters in this country, like a forest fire or a hurricane, to go and see for himself what the needs are. from the local community so he can have an informed POV to make a policy.

“Well first of all, Peter, I think the situation at the border is the result of a faulty system,” Psaki replied. “And the president certainly draws on his experience. So whether it was the work he did to tackle root causes as vice president, his efforts when he was in the Senate to support reform global immigration.… He uses all his experiences to explain how he governs, how he tackles challenges. “
