Let me be more specific--Trump controlled the border MORE than Biden has. Not totally closed, but 1.8 million (Trump first 3 years) vs. 8.3 million migrants (first 3 years of Biden).

Hmmm....which is a better number for tax payers?

How mysterious, then, that when the Senate and House were presented with a tough bipartisan border bill, Trumpty told them not to bring it to a vote. And they obliged.

Contemptible.

In fact, the arrow is pointing to apprehensions in April 2020, when apprehensions plummeted during the height of the pandemic. In his last months in office, apprehensions had more than quadrupled from that pandemic low and were higher than the month he took office.

As we have written, apprehensions at the southwest border .. https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/southwest-land-border-encounters , were 14.7% higher in Trump’s final year in office compared with the last full year before he was sworn in.

So apprehensions in Trump's last year about 15% higher than in Obama's last year.

That's all you have to remember so that you can tell the truth about the border here.

Of course you would feel like a shower after it, still it would be bloody good for you.
