Another day another gaffe, the Biden Administration can’t get out of its own way.
During a briefing White House national security Council adviser Roberta Jacobson tried to speak Spanish and incorrectly told migrants the Southern border is open.
First in english Jacobson declared that America’s southern border is closed and then switched to Spanish and said, “la frontera no esta cerrada.” Which means the southern border is NOT closed, Jacobson did correct her statement and said, “la frontera esta cerrada,” which means the border is closed.
Biden’s border czar, Roberta Jacobson, fixed her comment, made in Spanish, that the border is not closed — after an aide handed her a note as she spoke during White House press briefing. https://t.co/YWY20NkSpR

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki was asked about the gaffe and she claimed that Jacobson comment may have been a mistake but she was clear in telling migrants the border is closed.
“Well, given she also said that the border is closed, we’re hopeful that that is what will be picked up. And that has clearly and consistently been our message,” Psaki said.
