2024 US Presidential Election

[TheWhiteMarten]

The source you provided is using 2017 numbers; this was during the peak of Trump-era border security regulations, the regulations that Democrats declared as racist and Biden/Harris promised to both repeal and open up.

Of course people were not coming here illegally, by means of foot, when we were funding our border patrol agency and giving them the legal measures to stop, detain, and secure migrants.

Thank you for making my point though; immigration *was* far more fair towards migrants under Trump's policy and was not an open gate that allowed millions of non-qualified and hostile foreign citizens to the country that damage our economy, steal work from hard working immigrants who came here through at least *remotely* savory means.

So, you got a source showing total numbers significantly different during Biden's term? Obama's? Clinton's? Hell, Carter's? Or, are you just gonna blow smoke?

Whatcha got?!?

Since we are specifically referring to the 3-year surge under the Biden/Harris adminstration it would seem silly to be bringing up presidents before even Trump's first term.

Via the Washington Post, illegal immigrations at the border spiked and hit record highs under President Biden between 2021 and 2023, averaging 2 million per year; even after re-enacting several Trump-era regulations border crossings it was only brought down to 1.3 million individuals over the first 3 quarters of the year.

Edit - I somehow *truly* managed to screw up the graph provided by the Office of Homeland Security, but here is the link to the article. i'll see if I cant find the graph elsewhere.
