President-elect Donald Trump claims that immigration from Mexico and Canada poses a threat to U.S. security, citing concerns over crime and drug trafficking, despite counter-evidence.
The number of migrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border has actually decreased this year, with Border Patrol making around 56,530 arrests in October, marking a four-year low.
Trump's rhetoric has effectively resonated with voters, as immigration and crime remain significant concerns in the political landscape, clouding the nuanced reality of border security.
Statistics show that a year ago, Border Patrol arrests peaked at an all-time high, indicating fluctuating challenges at the southern border depending on administration policies.
