Trump and the Republicans say that the border was stronger under him than any other President, let’s examine! PolitiFact finds that during the Trump Administration, there was an increase of 300% in illegal immigration from Trump’s first full month in office, February 2017, to his last full month, December 2020. In 2020, the removal of illegal immigrants from the interior of the United States was the lowest as an absolute number and as a share of the illegal immigration population since ICE was created in 2003. Trump failed to increase removals of illegals because he has NO CONTROL over what local jurisdictions do. As a result, the population of illegal immigrants remained about the same as when he took office. In April of 2019, U.S. authorities stopped more than 109,000 undocumented migrants along the U.S.-Mexico border in a wave of unauthorized crossings not seen in over a decade. (How many didn’t get stopped?) Per Trump’s own U.S Customs agency, in 2019 alone, the number of people apprehended at the southern border in just over the past seven months surpasses last year’s total, as well as every annual total since 2009! Trump did absolutely nothing for illegals crossing into the United States. He simply changed the way legal immigration worked. For Trump, Illegals are good for business!
