Biden Ends Term With Nearly 11 Million Illegal Border Crossers; Biden Makes False Claim That Border Crossings Plummeted When He Took Office

Biden ends term with nearly 11 million illegal border crossers:

President Biden will end his term with a record of nearly 11 million illegal immigrants detected during his time in office, according to Homeland Security data released Tuesday.

But the latest numbers show things have improved somewhat from the worst days, with December tallying one of the lowest months of Mr. Biden’s tenure.

Customs and Border Protection said it detected about 125,000 unauthorized migrants try to sneak across the border or enter through an official port of entry in December. That’s down from more than 370,000 a year ago in December 2023 — the worst month on record.

Still, the damage is done, with 10.9 million illegal immigrants detected from February 2021 — the first full month under Mr. Biden’s watch — to this past December, the last full month under his control.

While some have been ousted, some 4 million new illegal immigrants have settled in the U.S. during Mr. Biden’s term, according to estimates from the Center for Immigration Studies.

Mr. Biden took office vowing to reverse Trump administration policies and immediately saw the situation deteriorate.

He spent the rest of his tenure searching for answers. Initially he resisted Trump-style policies but last year began to embrace them, and saw things improve. —>READ MORE HERE

Biden Makes False Claim That Border Crossings Plummeted When He Took Office:

President Joe Biden and the White House sought to shore up the administration’s record on immigration, aiming to show a stronger record on border security than perhaps many voters felt was the reality over the past four years.

Posting on social media on Tuesday, the White House also took a jibe at Republicans in Congress for failing to pass the much talked about bipartisan border bill, while touting a surge in law enforcement to the U.S.-Mexico border to tackle the surge in crossings seen over the first few years of Biden’s presidency.

Hours earlier, Biden himself made the false claim that crossings had fallen from the moment he took office.

Newsweek reached out to the White House for further comment via email Tuesday morning.

Why It Matters

The claims made by the White House and the president come with just days left of an administration that has, despite its efforts, struggled to convince voters that it has successfully dealt with both legal and illegal immigration.

The second election of President-elect Trump was widely seen as a rebuke of the current administration’s immigration policy, among other issues. —>READ MORE HERE
