It seems unbelievable [Not really. — Anbol], but it's true: Biden is deporting immigrants at a higher rate than Trump ever did. Biden's own DHS reports that the number of deportations carried out in 2023 exceeded the numbers for each year from 2016-2018, and nearly exceeded those for 2019. Also according to DHS, daily deportations are higher than they ever were during the Trump era. According to the Cato institute, Biden is deporting people at a rate 3.5 times higher per month than Trump did.
This is the cruel, inhumane irony of the Republicans' "crisis at the border" rhetoric. Biden is giving them everything they say they want, and is still being called weak. Instead of continuing Trump's inhumane policies, Biden could be instituting actual humane reforms (as he promised) and he would probably be just as well off, if not better, politically.
