How Joe Biden and Donald Trump's border policies compare

Just after taking office, US President Joe Biden vowed to put an end to what he termed the "moral and ethical" shame of Donald Trump's immigration policies.

The Trump administration had adopted a strict border policy and the Biden White House promised a more "humane" approach.

But the Democratic president has faced criticism from immigration advocates who say his policies are unduly harsh.

Here's how the two US presidents compare.

Sending migrants back

What Trump did: In March 2020, at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Trump administration invoked Title 42, a controversial statute ostensibly meant as a public health measure.

The policy allowed US authorities to swiftly expel migrants - including asylum seekers - at the border.

 

Nearly 400,000 people were detained and expelled between its implementation and January 2021, when Mr Trump left the White House.

Trump crushes illegal border crossings!

 

Looking back ! Biden called for a purge to the Border which resulted in millions upon millions

of unvetted illegal border crossings.

600k of known  criminals came as reported by Customs.

Biden's DHS Mayorkas was impeached and the Dem controlled senate refused to have a impeachment trial.

Hundreds of thousands of illegal border crossing children unaccountanted for.

Trump turned Biden's CBP app that ushered in millions of unvetted migrants into a App to sign up for deportation.

 

What a difference in how Trumps /Bidens policies compare.

Judge the results. Crimes and murders are on the same trajectory as it has been since early 2023. The economy that need the immigrants like construction, agriculture, healthcare and hospitality are floundering. Tax revenues are lost and labour shortages in various sectors. Trump hoodwinked the low information voters on the border issues.
