In last week’s presidential debate, Joe Biden claimed that the situation at the southern border is “better than when [President Trump] left office.” In reality, for both migrants and American citizens, it is far worse.
President Biden entered office in 2021 pledging to upend many of the Trump immigration policies, which he called “draconian,” “cruel,” “an assault on human dignity,” and “a stain on our nation.” Despite Biden’s claim that reversing those policies has made the situation at the border “better,” illegal immigration has spiked dramatically during his presidency, with millions of border crossings each year.
