New Data Show Migrants Were More Likely to Be Released by Trump Than Biden According to new data published last month, the Biden Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has removed a higher percentage of arrested border crossers in its first two years than the Trump DHS did over its last two years. Moreover, migrants were more likely to be released after a border arrest under President Trump than under President Biden. In absolute terms, the Biden DHS is removing 3.5 times as many people per month as the Trump DHS did. These figures are important for understanding how each administration has carried out border enforcement. During the Trump administration, DHS made 1.4 million arrests—what it calls “encounters”—in fiscal years 2019 and 2020 (24 months). Of those people arrested, only 47 percent were removed as of December 31, 2021, which includes people arrested by Trump and removed by Biden, and 52 percent were released into the United States. https://www.cato.org/blog/new-data-show-migrants-were-more-likely-be-released-trump-biden President Trump Reduced Legal Immigration. He Did Not Reduce Illegal Immigration https://www.cato.org/blog/president...gration-he-did-not-reduce-illegal-immigration I think it's fair to say the voting public has an entirely different idea of what happened during the respective admin's regarding illegal immigration and the culpability for migrant crime (which trump has exaggerated). In part due to the flood of lies trump has told and keeps telling on the matter. Donald Trump has repeated immigration falsehoods throughout the 2024 campaign. Here are the facts. https://www.politifact.com/article/2024/nov/04/donald-trump-has-repeated-immigration-falsehoods-t/ The thing is, he's been telling those lies so often for so long I suspect there isn't a chance trumples will accept the truth.
