2024 US Presidential Election

[TheWhiteMarten]

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.

Got it, good safety measure against spammers.

I do have to ask, can you clarify what you mean by "last free pass?" I simply provided a link that was asked for, and as far as I am aware I have not made any other violation of forum rules. If it's just a matter of esprit de la loi, I understand.

If I am doing something wrong, just tell me so I don't have to walk on egg shells.

@Ravenshire, as I am not currently able to provide the links you asked for, the Washington Post has run a good article titled "Immigration - Trump vs. Biden on immigration: 12 charts comparing U.S. border security" that will provide the numbers, graphs, and sources they used to track the massive spike in illegal border crossings following Biden/Harris' policy of deregulating the border.
