We fact-checked some of Trump's most common claims on immigration
Briefly

Trump's assertion about the border being the safest it has ever been is misleading; the chart he references highlights data from April 2020, prior to his last term, impacted by COVID-19, not reflecting the actual border situation at the end of his presidency where arrests rose instead.
While Trump claims to have built 571 miles of wall, actual figures show that only 458 miles were constructed, with a significant portion replacing older structures rather than creating new barriers.
Concerns about millions of migrants reportedly entering under Biden seem exaggerated; in reality, the recorded encounters since his administration began are approximately 10.5 million, suggesting a more complex immigration scenario.
The narrative fueled by Trump regarding migrants engaging in criminal activities and draining public resources has generated significant fear, but many of these statements have been debunked as misleading or factually incorrect.
