"Comparing U.S. Border Security: Trump vs. Biden in 12 Charts"

Immigration remains a contentious issue in U.S. politics, with illegal border crossings reaching record levels under President Biden, prompting criticism from Republicans and comparisons to former President Trump's policies. The surge in illegal crossings, particularly by unaccompanied minors and migrants from a wider variety of countries, has strained the immigration system and led to overcrowded facilities. The Biden administration has deported more individuals than the Trump administration, but also released a significant number of migrants into the U.S. The use of parole powers, refugee admissions, naturalization, and the backlog in immigration courts are also key areas of comparison between the two administrations.
