. . ."Even if Biden were deporting more illegals than Trump -- and he's not -- he's got a lot more to deport. In the past three years, more than 10 million illegal aliens have come in, with his and Harris' active encouragement." . . .
"The media have always engaged in mass lying about immigration, but they're really going the extra mile this election cycle. Lie No. 1 is the toughness of the "bipartisan" border bill, covered in last week's column. (Quotes on "bipartisan" because not a single congressional Republican supports it, even the guy who co-sponsored it.)
"Immigration Lie No. 2 is even more comically, straw-graspingly wrong: The Biden-Harris administration is deporting MORE illegals than Trump!
"It's been reported everywhere. I'll include bylines so you know whose reporting never to trust:
-- Reuters by Ben Kellerman, Mica Rosenberg and Ted Hesson: "Biden is now deporting more people than Trump";
-- Politico by Jack Herrera: "Even as Trump slams the president for open borders, the Biden-Harris administration has kicked out far more immigrants than Trump ever managed to";
-- The Washington Post by Nick Miroff, Maria Sacchetti and Sarah Frostenson: "Biden officials deported or returned roughly 740,000 people ... exceed[ing] Trump's totals, which averaged roughly 500,000 annually";
-- CBS-Austin by Andrew Freeman: "Biden on track to exceed Trump, Obama in deportations in first term, data shows";
-- The Hill by Maria Cardona: "DHS under Biden is deporting 3.5 times as many people per month as DHS did under Trump";
-- Cato Institute by David J. Bier: "In absolute terms, the Biden DHS is removing 3.5 times as many people per month as the Trump DHS did."
. . ."This manifest absurdity originated with an illiterate misreading of a White House proclamation that said: "Total removals and returns in the 12 months following May 12, 2023, exceeded removals and returns in every full Fiscal Year since 2010." . . .
Deportations under Trump: 2017: 226,119 illegals deported; 2018: 256,085 illegals deported; 2019: 267,258 illegals deported; 2020 185,884 illegals deported.
Deportations under Biden: 2021: 59,011 illegals deported; 2022: 72,177 illegals deported; 2023: 142,580 illegals deported. Full article.
